The issue is getting in the car with damp feet.  Water evaporates in the day, condenses on the window in the evening and freezes in the night. 

You need to dry your feet before you come in. 

Maybe... but

Mrs H's Leon Cupra was like this, this morning, its less than a year old so not just an old car thing!

I’d be taking that in to be looked at - dodgy door/window seal surely. Unless you regularly store damp clothes etc in the car. 

My year old 3 series was absolutely bone dry inside this morning as I’d expect it to be 

[Wingz123]

I will say my xantia (20 yrs old) wasnt like this this morning though!

[Skut]

The ZR was like this until i fixed the sunroof. The sign of a leak id have thought, not just wet shoes. 

[DoctorRetro]

No major updates, but the following happened. 

Wheels covered. 

Miles still have a mind of their own... 

 

[Wingz123]

Wheels covered looks better imo ?

Yeah I've had this issue before and eventually I found puddles, either in the spare wheel well or the passenger foot well. I really hate cars that leak.

Suppose I'd better update this thread with my latest conquest. A topless French lady no less! 

 

It has grown on me, it did take nearly 300 miles for me to like it though. 

How long will I keep it? Place bets now! 

[SRi05]

That's hawt.

At least until around Easter when the weather brightens up and there is some demand for topless French ladies.

[Ben_O]

Looks good dirty in the 2nd pic imo.

[strangeangel]

Looks good Doc, enjoy!

I most certainly do!  It's treated like a pampered pooch ?.  Love these 306 cabs. They are far more durable than people realise.  ?. 

[BorniteIdentity]

Looks mega fit with the hard-on. ? 

[DoctorRetro]

Mine has pretty bad lacquer peel on the grille, so was wondering if I should spray / vinyl it black or carbon fibre.

See poor MSPaint example...

Any thoughts?

I know, hence my question. Don't want it to look chavvy or shit.

Probably better to get the correct colour and respray I guess

[loserone]

Think there's some on the back bumper too.

Look at the paint fading when the roof is down when you get a chance

In all seriousness as long as you can do it properly a wrap over it would look fine 

[Jim Bell]

[DoctorRetro]

Had it cleaned. 

Damn it's a good looking car... 

 

[Jim Bell]

The 306 has aged amazing well stylisticaly. The cabrios in particular look HAWT in anything but fleet silver or doom blue. 

[vulgalour]

agreed, that particularly nice coppery gold colour really suits them, this red is a close second.  For your lacquer peel, just key it back with some fine paper and spray some fresh lacquer on, even if it's not the smoothest finish it'll look a billionty times better than black.  Black will end up making it look a bit gap-toothed.

Diablo red is always a sod for lacquer peel. On my old red pugs that had a similar issues I used gaffer tape to pull the lacquer off - wax on - wax off style - leaving just the basecoat to re-laquer with a good quality rattle can. It's not textbook but I found it worked well. 

[Wingz123]

Get some good quality wax on it now....

Bournites looked good because anthracite wheels I believe.....

My other half has an issue with convertible cars due to fears of rolling them. (She was in a rollover crash in a Nova when she was younger). 

I'd better not show her this... 

 

 

[Cavcraft]

Really does look the part that car.

[DoctorRetro]

Wtf Peugeot? 

?

Big lump of Swedish steel..

(Mind you it's a lovely 306... Wonderfully designed cars, rollover concerns ignored for a minute...)
