I fully appreciate your opinion, thanks for being honest. Every time I stand next to a 3door hatch ( normally iplay's bianca 6) I look at it and think f*ck me that back end looks good. As hatchbacks go the 306 is definitely the best ever in my opinion. 205 gti second. The hatch model was what got me hooked on 306's (trusty Dturbo) and will always be fond of them. I have always been one for being a bit different though and thought the understated sedan needed some of my attention. I have always been a fan of saloon cars as my dad has always had American cars which practically are all saloons, and always liked the performance models which tend to be 2door versions of of the more door model. Of course you get your Camaro's/Firebirds, Mustangs, Chargers, etc which were 2door only, but with the "three box" silhouette. I understand that a lot of people aren't keen on saloons as they are considered to be old men's cars or boxy.
I saw a gap in the 306 lineup that I wanted to fill.
And I've done it and I love it!

There is still a lot to be done yet though, you'd be surprised at how muscular it looks with side skirts on (test fitted already). Mmm maybe ill paint them tonight.

Excellent work there fella, looking forward to seeing it finished as I'm sure it will look better once complete.

I think lowering it will make a massive difference

Yeah, but if he presses the pedal all the way he'll wear the throttle cable out a bit, and have to buy another shiny new one from the dealer

Hydrolock would hold them off

Only joking, it turns out that blaze is just better.

I would like to lower the car for visual purposes only. I love allround driveability of it standard. I like the long travel in the suspension that allows four wheel drifts when really pushing it. Is there a quality setup that will drop the ride height but keep a similar ride? Most lowered cars I've been in have been too crashy and not enough compliance.

Screw that, why buy one of the best handling hatches made and then ruin that handling in the name of going 2 inches lower?

You can go abit lower though and not have loose the feel of it, im not talking vw style slam, just so visually it looks abit nicer and you cant argue he doesnt want it for looks, as why else would he do this conversion.

I suppose it will always come down to personal preferance though, it still looks mega either way.

bloody good work dan look forward to seeing this sumtime

That sounds likes a nice setup Matt. The only thing is I have all new genuine suspension and it feels amazing. It was how I wanted the blaze at the time. I would prefer to keep it standard for driveability but I think this car needs lowering a touch to make the stance a bit better. What a dilema!
I thought I had this thing nailed, but there is still a long way to go!

I wanted to put in the fuel cap covers but it involved too much chopping about as the filler points are in different places between ¾ door models. I know that sounds stupid considering the scale of the project but I wanted to keep the welding to a minimum on the rear quarters. I was worried about disturbing too much of the zinc phospher primer that Peugeot put on.
