Have you got the front SP grille on yours?
If you do then it can start to look a but fussy.

A bit like these people who wear every bit of jewelery they own trying to look good if you get what i mean...

Peugeot themselves do chrome bonnet vents. If you do go for the Pug ones then they'll do the fitting anyway.

I bought the Ecosse crystal vents for my CC and had them colour coded and they looked great. Fitting is pretty easy - just remove the four existing black plastic rivets/clips (in theory you should just be able to pull them out, but in reality I had to have a good dig at them with some pliers) and the vents will drop out. Then put the new vents in and replace with four new rivets (were provided with my new vents).

Took about 10 mins to do.

I had the front bonnet vents changed on mine. I think they look a lot better - my car is Moonstone and it seems to suit not having too much black plastic on it - it's the 53 reg so doesn't have the black side panels either. I got the standard Peugeot ones and they fitted them for me. You should only pay the brochure price as it includes fitting. I think it was about Â£80. Go for it!

P.S. I still have the original black front grille. My boyfriend thinks it would look better with the chrome grill (sports grill), but I'm not sure especially after reading that it might look like I'm "getting too much jewellery" - hee hee! What do you think? I don't want it to look too glitzy/cheap and nasty(!), but the black does look a bit odd as there's no other black on the car. It's Moonstone - Allure 53 reg.

Any comments much appreciated!

Looking to change my bonnet vents very soon. As for the SP grille looking like too much jewellry I dissagree. I got one on e-bay a couple of weeks ago and fitted it last week. I think it makes the car look a lot more sporty and a little more individual as not many of them around and i'm very happy with the 90 notes i paid. ( they are a Â£180 at the dealers.
I'm changing my Lexus lights back to the originals shortly as well because just about every bloody 206 has them on now.
I'm also after some chrome hoops if anyone wants to part with a set.

Just fitted the mesh style chromed vents available from the Peugeot dealers. Paid Â£73.00 quid and fitted them myself which was straightforward. Love 'em.

I would post a picture but I can't work out how u do it.
