You probably don't know because I don't think I've been on for the past year or so but I had a major life change last year and became a father to a beautiful baby girl. Ever since then we've been struggling a bit having a three door hatchback although its getting easier now she's older...

It looks rubbish and now it's got a big crack all the way through the middle. Considering I'm planning getting some uprated leads and hoses and maybe a carbon airbox anyway, do I really need it? Does if offer any vital protection to the engine underneath? Or is it just to deaden the noise of...

Saw these guys advertised in this month's edition of Fast Car... I know, I know, I'm a chav and old enough to know better but it makes me smile. Anyway, it got me wondering... can you have a universal intercooler? And would it be any good? If you could, and they would, isn't <£200 a bit on...

So I'm well aware that fitting larger diameter wheels to your car can slow it down some, but what if you stick to the same diameter but go 2 inches wider? I know there will be some wheel arch work needed, but how would those extra 2 inches affect performance and handling, especially when...

Basically what it says on the tin. I have a 1.3 diesel engine, the 90bhp 6-speed one, and I want to swap it for the 1.6 diesel engine out of the Grande Punto Sporting. What I want to know is: Aside from the new engine, what else do I need? Will I be able to get the benefit of the lower...

It's been a while since I asked a silly question and this just won't do. Not at all, let's face it, if I'm not saying something stupid, I'm sitting in the corner silently, again. :sad2: Suppose I decide to soup up my Grande rather than buying a new car. Cue fantasy shopping list in head...

I'm 5 foot 7. I'm not small, I'm normal height, everyone else is just freakishly tall. Now that's out of the way... I want to get some more supportive seats in my car. I've got my eye on some OMP or FK Automotive recliners which reassuringly both have the tilt mechanism so I can still carry...

The father-in-law's Fiat 500 struggled to move anywhere back in January time when the world was more white than black so he's thinking about getting it some all-weather tyres. He knows which ones he needs, but being a budget-minded kind of guy, he wants to know if he'll be able to get away with...

Remember kids, you're meant to stop at side roads. A gentleman in a van forgot this minor little point, leaving the '6 feeling a bit, well, dead. Anyways, his insurance coughed up the money straight off so after a short period of mourning, I'm now mobile again and I've turned to the Dark...

There's a kit for my '6 going dirt cheap on POTN, and I just wondered if anyone has ever used their products before? I'm wanting to improve handling but not sacrifice comfort too much (obviously I know I'm gonna feel the road a lot better through my rump, just as well it's getting better...

I have for sale this beautiful Simoni X4 steering wheel in superb condition - not perfect, it's been used for 3 months and has a very fine hairline scratch which you'd only normally notice if you were looking for it. There are no fixings or boss, but it comes with the horn button centre...

As in £325.00 to pass it's bloody MOT. This is for rotted front brake calipers, but add to that £500.00 that is cost me at the last service (although I think it was the first servive it's ever had in it's life) and £600.00 for the rear brakes at the start of the year and I'm thinking now is...

Black bumpers. No one likes them? Old, tired and naff? Better to be colour coded like everyone else? Or should I give the tired plastic a new lease of life with some gloss black paint? And if I do, should I get black angel eyes and wheels, or stick with the clear ones and silver rims I love...

...and I drove THIS GET IN!!! :mrgreen:

The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of other things. Of aftermarket headunits, with MP3 line-ins. But, said the Carpenter, what other bits do I require? Other than a fascia adaptor, should I get an ISO adaptor, sire? And what of replacement stalk controls, and will the clock still...

Not much in the way of exhaust systems for a sub 1.6 litre 206 is there? Plenty of back boxes, but for the full cat back jobbie on a 1.4 you're stuck with Jetex or Ashley. However the Ashley's not a bad price... anyone used their stuff before? Will it make me grin? Plenty of choice with...

So I had the 6 in the garage the other day (Nationwide Autocentres Huddersfield, who have been really good up to now) for a few niggling bits and while they had it in I thought I'd take advantage of a "free no-obligation brake check". As I suspected, the rear brakes are somewhat FUBAR'd...

Hello friends. Tis a whole new series of "Build my car for me" and hopefully this time we might get somewhere... but then again maybe not. This is mine as is Tasty, no? Notice how she sports the optional Peugeot SP arch kit (and finding one sporting this off the forecourt wasn't easy, let...

I wanna do up the interior of my 206 - it's all velour at the minute. So what I want is the doorcards and glovebox door retrimmed in a blue leather colour to match the car's paintwork with matching gear and handbrake gaiters, with the centre console painted to match the exterior. With the...

So with the Punto being a catastrophic MoT failure way back at the start of last year and the Civic going nowhere for ages (and to be honest not being quite what I wanted, plus the panels needed some TLC before I could start properly doing any mods) I've done something maybe a little bit silly...

Click on this link and then enlarge the picture of the red Virtuel kitted 206 http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_61_410_724&products_id=13827 Thank you!

Anybody got any experience with these people? They're offering some good deals and if someone can convince me that their kit's good, I might take them up on some.

Does anyone else miss this great magazine? I know after the silly "all show and no go" phase between 2000 - 2004 it went downhill a little, but at the start of 2005, just as it was starting to return to it's former brilliance, Emap saw fit to axe it. Now that Max Power's turned it's back...

Hi guys, me again. Has anyone tried Megan Racing suspension products on their car? I've got Tein basic coilovers on to improve handling and bring the arches closer to the rims, now I'm looking at stiffening the chassis up with front and rear upper strut braces, lower rear tie bars and...

Shiny. Very shiny. BMC Carbon airbox. 8) Me want one. But... The manufacturer doesn't recommend it for road use. :cry: Has anyone tried one of these on a road car? Are they ok, or should I stick with the tried and tested K&N 57i? Thanks guys :wink:

Yay, my sideskirts arrived finally today. Still awaiting the front and rear bumpers, and I've still got to make my mind up regarding wheels, so come on everybody, get putting some input, er, in. Aaaanyway, I really, really want black Altezza style rear light clusters, but I'm not a fan of...

You've got to love those quirky Italians and their random wheel fitments. :roll: For any Punto owners browsing this forum, you may well have shared our nightmare when shopping for a funky set of rims, only to find none fit. Now, there are a couple of potential solutions - wobbly bolts (...

Decisions, decisions... Personally I'm thinking either 5zigen FN01R's, Enkei RP03's, or maybe the sexy Fuel 7's What do you guys think? Would you go for one of these, or have I missed something better?

Particularly for anyone around the Leicestershire area, it's a Peugeot 205 1.0 Trio Plus - a red/maroon colour with the registration starting H397. When I had it it had colour coded sun visors, red/black seat colours and a Sparco red gearknob and gaiter. It might also still have my red tax...

Ooooh, decisions... Which exhaust do you think I should get? If anyone has any technical know-how on these, i'm wanting the best power-torque gain a cat-back system can offer me. Also, if i fit a de-cat pipe (which is necessary to get the Buddy Club exhaust to fit), will my car then fail...

Hi kids, i'm blacklineninja, not black, not a line, nor a ninja. I just like the song. You'll see me swanking about around here not knowing much about anything, but i'll try and help out where i can, and if anyone wants to talk to me, feel free to just reply to this post. Most things...

I'm wanting an exhaust for my Honda Civic. I've got the look sorted with body styling parts bought over from the USA, and so i'm wanting an American exhaust to match. I've found an AEM induction kit that fits, but exhausts are much thinner on the ground. I'm wanting the best possible...
