Cost of the project
Car £750
Panels £272

So for a little over £1100 she has got a £3,500 year 2006 (55 plate) Allure with leather, climate control. uprated sound system.

Re: I just bought another 206cc
OK. Final post from me unless someone asks something.
Chrome bumpers arrived today and fitted. I really think it sets the car off nicely. Unfortunately it is tipping down here, so pics not as clear as they could be.


And one from the other day with roof down

Re: I just bought another 206cc
It's as finished as I'm going to make it other than MOT (9th July) & VIC (12th July).suegriff wrote:they look nice on black ones and the price Capncol was brill, so its nearly finished then or u planning few more extras.
I ordered the chrome bumper covers as the front one was missing after the accident (you can see it's grey in some pics as thats what the bumper covers up) A a new plastic one is about £40, so I figured I would go for the Chrome ones having seen the pics of Shadows car.
No doubt if Vicky wants anything else done I will get roped in.
Shadow. They are chromed metal - Triple plated no less
