Funnily enough, I saw this car when Fuzzy had it, at shows and local meets, then when he sold it, ended up going to the lad who bought it's house with a friend to buy something (not knowing that it was the lad who then had it), and now it's popped up on here. Just when I thought i'd seen the last of it.

Strange how things come around!
A mini-update...
I tihnk you'll agree that these rear lights are friggin' awesome! :S
So, I had the package fairies bring me something round yesterday:
Much better
Ive also picked up a new rubber mount for the backbox, so that'll be pushed up the way at some point...
In fact, it's there on the road! I've also ordered a rear boot lock with a sticker, so the lion will be going back on my tailgate shortly.

Gave her a proper clean today. Started off polishing with the Kestral, but my backing plate broke (second one in about 3 uses... ) so I resorted to just doing the rest by hand. She shines up well, but I need to get someone with more skills to polish out the swirls... I'm rubbish at it!
Before:
After, clayed, part-polished, sealed and waxed. The photo's aren't great as the lighting wasn't fantastic in the barn and I didn't have a tripod:

mediocre effort...
Got rid of the carbon fuel filler cap today:
And also got a boot lock surround with the Peugeot lion badge still in place, just to standardise her a bit more
Off to have a look at what parts I can make use of from a recently broken GTi local to me. Hopefully I can pick up a front badge, some GTi door badges and mabe a wiper or two!

PMSL, I think I've been on one spirited drive in her in 3 weeks... weather and work haven't really helped!
Popped to Tavistock today to pick up a gearbox and also came back with a leather/alcantara interior. A few cigarette burns and a bit of leather rippage on the driver's bolster, but a billy-bargain price.
Now, if only I could get those torx screws loose.

The roof might have to stay I'm afraid because I'm not looking to throw money at it that I can't make back later on. If it was vinyl it would have been taken off the day I got it, but as it's paint it might have to stay...
It's not so bad in the flesh, and the circles from were I bought the car like it as they're more into their modifications, so it'll help sell when it comes to move it on again!

Send him a pm! (i'll send him this link!)

Ahhh just found this - thanks to SteveS
Good to see it being looked after - PMSL at the "chavved up" comments - it was gorgeous back when it had the recaros, morettes, and chronos on
But I do agree they look nice as standard cars
I threw way too much money at that car - it's been properly looked after
Glad you're enjoying it

I'll await the news tomorrow dude
Cheers for the comments people, good to see you on here as well Phil!
Actually, I'll send you a PM in a bit or tomorrow... I had the info you sent me saved in a PM on 106owners, but my PM's have been taken away!
Oh lol yeah that'll be the evil guy who runs 106owners restricting guest access lol
Lol, maybe. No urgency or rush to sell, but I'm using it more than I planned to, and I didn't really buy it to sit in traffic!
Not going to push a sale or reduce the price or anything, but would consider a swap for somethig that's more adept to crawling in traffic!

Up for sale twice in as many months
Good luck with the sale though - tempted to buy it back lol

I think I need to take it for a good run this weekend if the weather stays nice, remind me why I bought her!
Phil, I know! I feel bad considering selling it again, knowing you only sold it in January! It makes it seem like something's wrong with it, when there really isn't!
As I say, I'm certainly not in a rush to sell and there's no reason as such for it, just wondering if I'd be better off in something more suited to sitting in traffic!

Do what I did - get yourself a daily hack
I never used the 106 as my daily drive because it felt wrong - so it just sat in the garage and I used my girlfriends 106 gti instead LOL
Now I have my cup and my girlfriend's 106 gti is being broken for parts - but for daily driving I have a nice comfy renault laguna
R plate - 67k, air con - £500 incl tax and years MOT - spot on for driving to work and stuff and now when I do get into the clio at the weekend it feels like a rocket ship

Hahahhaa use the bora more!
Will. yeah over on 106owners - I can't get on at work so can't post a link but it's not hard to find with a bit of a google search for fuzzy orange and progress blog and 106owners

Aye, Bora's the daily hack but is also the wife's commuter-mobile so I rarely drive it. I normally get a lift to work so don't 'need' a car, but my lift has been off for a bit so I've used the 106.
My lift's back in work now though so I can go back to keeping the 106 for evenings and weekends... thing is, I love my Bora more at the moment! I think I'm a "low n slow" convert so have aspirations of a Mk3.
Gonna give the GTi some beans tonight, tomorrow and over the weekend to remind me that petrol French cars like to rev!
