This is a bit of a daft subject frankly but I want my track car to have a bit more visual impact...

Firstly I'm definitley getting the wheels refurbished in white, white mirrors, and a phase 3 boot lid if I can get one too...

I love the Rallye decal kit but concluded as it isn't one that would make me look a twat

I'm not driving a wrc car so don't want a full graphic set...

I quite like the subtle french flag on the grille thing a few have done, but has anyone got any further suggestions?

Same as the white wheel on the front all round will look great.

A subtle touch is to paint the three colours of the french flag on just the badge. Looks quite good IMO.

I think ph.3 bootlid, white wheels and white mirror caps and it'll be looking good already!

Don't get a phase 3 bootlid! Prefer them with the trim, but everyone is different to be fair.

Pair of black masks at front would look good. I may have a set for sale soon (brand new Valeo's that have been black masked).

French flag on mirrors looks better than on badge IMO

Big brakes, cage, building a better spec track car will make it look better.

No Oakleys thanks but ironically do take it up to B'ham international regularly as part of the commute to London, I love turning up in a suit and parking next to a range rover, pinking away from a good thrash :-D

Definitely not! Always like the black trim, especially on a Bianca. And keep the rub strips too.

Only thing that looks out of place is the different coloured wheels LOL

I think white wheels do the opposite.

Colour code your bump strips, filler cap trims, boot trim, spoiler and mirror caps. Ohh and B-pillars.

It needs something.....

A discreet ish stipe kit in the Peugeot sport colours? Maybe at an angle across the bonnet say from the bonnet badge across to about halfway up line of the sides?

Needs something to break up that big slab of plain whiteee

Debadged bonnet and grille has always beeny favourite cosmetic change on a 306 that with black masks and Rallye blanks will look great! I personally agree with what you say regards the Rallye decals but if you like the stripes I don't see what's wrong with that maybe not the "Rallye" stickers but if in other countries they have a Rallye with a 1.8 16v then a GTi6 is just as worthy to don the decals albeit not as lightweight as a genuine poverty spec 6, however if it's a track car which has been stripped out and bucket seats etc have been fitted then everyone would be non the wiser really. Each to their own

I like that, looks great but I'm not really wanting to stray that far from oem (ie debadging), lights look great
