...are available for the Peugeot 406. They're quite good:  www.extreme-sportscars.com/Alternatively, avoid people using the word 'fake' or coming back to your car and finding annoying know-it-all types pointing out that your tax disc says 'Peugeot' and do this:    That'll do nicely.

Some of them are quiet impressive, until you look close to listen to them pull away. Seems a bit of a waste of the 406 Coupes which, IMO, are very good looking as standard. I've never driven one but it wouldn't surprise me if the handling was a bit off compared to the original car because they almost all just huge wheel spacers/silly offsets that the suspension just isn't designed for. But I guess that they are purely for posing in so don't really matter...

Are they X5 alloys? Jolly good show  I think the 406 coupé is a very nice shape, and they're getting really cheap now. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

One of my mates does these, Ferrari kit cars and Bentley... I myself don't quite see why you would want one... It's just a reminder that you cannot afford the real thing  |

It's just a reminder that you cannot afford the real thing Thing is, for what it cost's to do it right, you could buy a real porsche 911 or an 80's Ferrari. The 406 Coupe is a stunning car & that blue one is perfect. |

The 406 Coupe was designed and built by Pininfarina, so there is at least a vague genetic link...

Just to clarify, the thread title is a red herring. Personally, I'd recommend the non-Ferrari route. This thread is actually about the blue one.

The blue one is lovely. The 406 coupe is a fantastic looking thing anyway but they always ride a bit high and had slightly too small wheels.

That is perfect, they are a beautiful car let down by the manufacturer spec ride height/small wheels. This addresses both those issues, the wheel choice is perfect.

The more I look at these, the better I think they look. That blue one is very well done, though I feel as if a little bit of rake would make all the difference somehow?

Had one for a while 2.0 petrol, was underpowered adn heavey but fine for touring and motorways. Loads of room in the m too. The 2.2 diesel would be a nice match the V6 was never all that good and very veyr thristy. It really wanted RWD and a stonking engine to match but sadly was not to be. If I had to do loads of miles again I'd get a 2.2 diesel.

Despite having been into kitcars, that's pretty much my view of fake Ferraris. 2nd hand ones seem to be advertised for stupid money. And the title really is a red herring....... Most of them were based on the Pontiac Fiero, now on MR2, and I've just found somebody did one on an NSX (WHY?  )  carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/10/honda-nsx-based-ferrari-360-modena.html |

Damn, I was hoping to make my 360 look more like a 406 (no seriously, how cool would that be?) But that Coupe is loverly, and the V6s love to sing!
Perhaps a set of Pug centercaps for those LR wheels would finish it to a tee.
