Unlike previously noted, the lights' housing is partially metal as well as black plastic. I'll Lamin-X the trinkets before attempting to mount them.

Since I photograph the undersides of every car I buy, this is what the Peugeot looks like viewed underneath.

Had a look at the belt since I swapped the new cover on. I think it looks alright, but you never know.

Nice and tidy.

Then, the lights:

All Lamin-X:d up.

You found me beautiful once...

Honey, you got real ugly.

Mounted - but do they work?

Huzzah!

Boy were those rusty... and they look awesome in yellow.

As for the cambelt... that doesn't look that good imho.

 

[public]

I won't feel bad having it changed in the near future.

 

[nicjasno]

It'll give you great peace of mind.

Schmexy fog lights. #rice4lyfe

Actually they're driving lights and are illuminated every time I turn on full beams. And the Selective Yellow is for frenchness

That is a pretty good deal for the amount of money you gave for it. Congrats. I'm amazed how clean it is underneath.

I need to lend you my 535 so you can go all anoraky on it!

That looks great, sweet little car

Hey, what do you know. Some bozo* didn't get the memo this isn't a GTI.

Commonly available red electrical tape is precisely the same width as the chrome strip on the bumpers. A little warming up makes sure it attaches nicely.

I just noticed... but why is there an electrical plug hanging out of the front bumper?

Block heater. Standard on Scandinavian cars.

They did make an electric version, too.

Edit: Taped up the free-hanging plug inside the bumper now, nice and tidy.

 

[frankiess]

Hey what's that hanging wire

 

[nicjasno]

A minor nitpick, i noticed... the grille isn't straight. It's a bit lifted on the passanger side.

 

[public]

Probably been like that since it left Sochaux.

I saw the crunchiness of the fog light over at Reddit. Crispy indeed!
