Just purchased. a little battered but soon to be fixed and even titivated a bit. Nothing drastic, replace bumper badge with new style, repair bumper, fit some headlight brows and add a bit of sparkle to the rims (not a fan off all black wheels)

I'm also a biker and a fettler so years of repairing damaged fairings will come in handy. I'm sure I'll get it back as good as new (if not better).
9ne of the DRLs is missing and a new one is over £400 so a little ingenuity will be required there,.
It definitely was a bargain, if I hadn't had to get it delivered it would have been under £3k.

Does sound a good buy, there’s no wonder why insurers write cars off when a small DRL costs £400!

A little progress, front bumper plastic welded. inner grill repaired. All the broken bits were helpfully sat on the plastic undertrays so I managed to weld and pin all those back together. The headlamp washer flap I have made from some ally plate and a piece of old M/cycle fairing, just need that sprayed. Will do that all in one go once the bumper is filled and prepped.
Hold up is the RH DRL as they seem to be in short supply. Might have to get creative ....

ho hum, onwards and upwards.

Anyone know what the white colour is called. I thought it was called crystal white? or a paint code so I can get some mixed.

Probably Pearl White - it is also on the driver side door.

RH DRL is smashed. Peugeot want £495 if you can find stock.
So a little ingenuity is required.
A pair of 208 DRL clones, £30 the pair, some steel plate .

Job Done.

How much did you pay to repaint the front bumper? Also how good is the match between other body work?

Cost me £30 for half a litre of base coat, probably a couple of quids worth of filler. Local paint factor mixed the paint for me..... like Eric Morecambe says you can't see the join.

Shiny wheels, just didn't like the all satin black wheels, they just looked brake dust dirty all the time... SHINY!

BAH Humbug... now even more battered due to an attack by a homicidal Bambi.. Dagnabbit, I've had it less than 6 months

Bad News... it's been written off.

Good News .... I've bought it back and fixed it already... Hurrah !
