Our 406 Coupe

As well as the Range Rover's we've also got a few French cars at home as well...

We had our two Citroen's detailed in the summer last year and last Monday we sent our 406 Coupe in for a little TLC.

We dropped it off at the bodyshop on Monday last week to have a few stone chips sorted before it went in for detailing.

In the end when we were looking at it with the bodyshop owner we decided that there was actually more that needed doing then we had originally noticed, there was a little bubble on the C pillar and the paint on the boot lid and roof was starting to blister ever so slightly.

We ended up leaving the bodyshop having given him the go ahead to give the car a full respray and the results are amazing. We've had it since it was just over 6 months old having been a Peugeot UK management car (10 year on 14th Feb actually) and have no intentions of getting rid of it as it's worth nothing these days we thought we might as well get it back to showroom condition. The wheels were refurbished last month as well.

It's one of the last ones made, red seems to be quite a rare colour and being the V6 manual it's quite a special car Smile

The guy hasn't put the 406 badge on quite right, it's not quite straight. It's an awkward one though as the number don't actually sit straight. I've ordered a new set as they come with the template to fit them with and they are only 8 quid.
















Just need to get a couple of new number plates made up for it and it'll look factory fresh again now.
