Can't believe car dealers,i went to the Peugeot dealer see for quote on a front wing panel to replace my dent one.
They are asking £90 for it just primed o_O.

Damn man, you can get the dent out yourself with a sucker-and-massage kit (no, not from a brothel), me and my Dad got the dents out my first Fiesta with a jack and a block of wood...
Or go to a scrapyard - Peugeot's are a very common to see dumped/scrapped. If it's an old-ish Peugeot, I believe the wing from a Saxo would fit too...

the 106/saxo have interchangeable panels
i loved my old 306's-i used to pick up the xsi/gti6 models for less than 500 then run em for a year then scrap or sell em on,i think i only lost out on one of them.
there was a snow storm in may a couple of years ago and the m62 hadnt been gritted and i had never driven in snow before....
i managed about 10 miles sliding across alll 3 lanes then pulled into a service station and run the car into a lampost lol
engine on my knees and the nasty smell of airbag explosion stuff in my nose,wasnt a great day!
to add insult to injury while i was in the service station waiting for my pal to collect me (aa said it was an RTA so they wouldnt do a damn thing!)
some feckwit stole the stereo from the car!
i have given up on 306's now and moved onto people carriers :(

Yea, that's pretty much what me and my Dad used to do - get a year runaround and jog it on before the tax and MOT run out :laugh:

Nah its not those simple punch size dent,the dent looks like this:

I just went to a scrappie in my town and they had no 206 parts whats so ever,what makes it worst is my 206 is a rare colour for a 206,sahara yellow.
And i found the front wing panel primered on ebay for £27 free delivery and just take it to a professional car paint shop get it spray painted,i can probably replace the panel myself from guides on 206info.

the great thing about huskie is he knows how to fix electrical stuff. So its not so bad if huskie bought them and they turned out to be on the brink of falling apart. nothing a bit of baking or soldering cant fix. for everyone else -- we would be in the shit.

(I wish i paid attention in electronics classes at college)

I've got to start decorating the kid's bedroom but I'll be back later.
Found a load of spiders in their room while we were clearing it. Caught as many as we could and then realised that loads of them were females carrying egg-sacs! Most of the egg-sacs have hatched so we got about 50 spiders in our kitchen in various tupperware pots and air-tight kid's toys lol
The spiders are called "false widows", I'll up some photos in a bit. Loads of them have died because we've put the biggest ones together in a big (sealable) toy kettle, and they started killing eachother. Well, only the violent ones killed eachother, the passive ones have been allowed to live... Only one Alpha male and all that...


in the autumn you should check everywhere for female spiders with eggs. that's when the spiders fuck. btw don't hoover them up! the eggs hatch inside the bloody hoover lol.
the female will drop her little ball of eggs in a corner, and then she'll wrap herself round it.
after a few days or weeks she will die, and become their food when the eggs hatch in the spring. Wait for the female to die and then just flick the sack of eggs out the window :)
