I decided to go full-on with the audio system, so I got a matching subwoofer for my
front speakers - Focal 33KX - 13-inch subwoofer in a custom sealed enclosure.
Kevlar membrane, dual voice coil, multiple magnets and the enclosure with more
volume than my last one - sounds amazing!
Cheap chinese rear parking sensors off eBay - a bit "paranoid" (i.e. too sensitive) but
should do their job. After marking the sensor locations, the bumper was drilled using
the supplied drill-bit.
A couple of holes had to be cut in the steel bar behind the bumper, for the inner pair of
parking sensors to sit in. Peugeot had already made a couple of holes for this reason,
but unfortunately their sensor arrangement was different to mine.
Then I turned my attention to removing the front bumper - not to install parking sensors,
but to change the headlights (not too clever a design)! I wanted black headlights but decided
against spraying my own set, so I got a brand new pair of black aftermarket headlights.
I chose the rare version with OE-style reflectors, instead of small HID-style lenses
(that everybody seems to go for). They've got "angel eyes" or "halo rings" - perhaps
a bit tacky, but they don't look bad and they're barely visible in daylight anyway.
Then I "bit the bullet" and finally made up my mind about spraying the exterior trim in white,
so I removed all of the black trim. Temporarily swapped the TSWs for my father's 406 Coupe
Hoggars (7x16" ET12 - nice and wide). Work in progress, but you can get an idea of what
it will look like when finished.
The conclusion of this phase of mods will be revealed soon.

In the meantime, I sold the original 16" Ariane wheels I got with the car and bought
another set of 17" Challengers, this time with the adequate 205/50/17 tyres.
And then I got busy again - rust on the rear steel bar eliminated, tailgate debadged,
all the bits picked up from the body shop and finally, everything put back on the car,
including parking sensors and wiring.
The new "face". The car looks rejuvenated, doesn't it? I now can't believe that I've ever
doubted if spraying the trim is the way to go! Looking really nice sunbathing and with
the Challengers on (obviously the nicest wheel design for 307s). Really fresh and modern
apperance, while still not looking modified:
And then some more photos, with RS-GTs back on again. The wheels and headlights are
in contrast with the body. It definitely requires a bit of getting-used-to, after having the
Challengers on for some time. Shame it was a dull day too.
The appeareance has definitely changed from non-modified to subtly-modified, especially
with a debadged/clean tailgate. I've intentionally left the Pug lion on. I need to do something
about that antenna though, it makes it look like a radio-controlled car.
And now... the conclusion - I'm really glad I've gone through with spraying the trim and
definitely won't be looking back! I'm curious to hear your opinion on this?

This year I've mostly been into cycling and then recovering from a non-cycling injury,
so this project had taken a back seat for a while, but nevertheless, here's a quick update.
I picked up Compomotive MO 7x17" ET15 wheels with 205/40/17 tyres, destined for 205 Mi32.
The 307 looked rather hardcore with it, I loved the looks.
Unfortunately, one of the front shock absorbers top mounts gave up the ghost (and the other
one was on it's way out). It took the wiper linkage out with it as well. I got them changed, but
I'll have to make some custom alloy ones, as the same thing will happen again sooner or later...
Back on 18's again. This time on TSW's. They suit the car much better now the trim is white.
That's it for now but you can expect a few more exciting updates soon.

Thanks for posting here cybernck, interesting to see that 307 evolve into something completely new! I went through your other albums as well, liked the 205 pages as well as the biking pages...
Photos from your ride in Croatia were great, I was there last year and had some great time. Great photos from the Sv. Jure top near Makarska, I planned going up to that place but got sick and had to rest a few days...
Instead, I went to Pocitelj a few days later and enjoyed it a lot.
A "few" picks from my trip (scroll on for photos from Croatia and Herzegovina): LINK
Cheers!

Nice spinergy wheels! Here is my bikebuilds http://s430.photobucket.com/albums/qq22 ... /?start=60
Re: 307 Breaknck
Hello everyone! There was a distinct lack of updates in this topic due to a vast disappointment
that came to me last year in a form of engine failure, which killed my enthusiasm as well, but now
I'm back on track with this little project. So, let's see what happened with this EW10 engine.
One morning, the engine had seized and evetually started up, running on three cylinders and
vigorously knocking. Having exhausted all the other options, I've had to get the car transported
to a Peugeot garage.
Guys at Brkic Servis feared the worst, as the coolant expansion tank was empty, meaning it
could be a case of a hydro-lock. They quickly removed and dismantled the engine.
The head showed no signs of damage and the head gasket didn't have any obvious indications
of failure either. Still, the head was sent off for a rebuild and a leak-down test.
Moving onto the bottom end, the problem was obvious - first cylinder (from the cambelt side)
was a few milimeters down the bore, which meant a bent conrod.
Bent in all three dimensions! Luckily, the crank escaped unharmed. A replacement conrod and
piston were sourced. We then decided to make a full service on the engine, so replaced the
timing belt and tensioners, water pump, all the gaskets, seals etc as well.
Back together - running sweet and I should be without worries now. The thing is, I thought
I wouldn't have to worry about it in the first place, wth such a young car by my standards.
Also, I sold the TSW 18" wheels and temporarily had the car rolling on 7-spoke 207 16" wheels.
Like I said, the project is back on track now, so you can expect several prompt updates soon.

Re: 307 Breaknck
Time to move on to happier updates, I think! Haha.
It's time to revisit and finally complete the audio system, starting with a messy job of properly
installing the front speakers at long last! Typical French - holes everywhere in the door, except
where I need one to be.
Inner skin was cut-out and prepared to take a custom MDF speaker pod. With the pod in place
and firmly attached to the door's inner skin, we treated outer skins, pods and door cards treated
with a couple of coats of bitumen, for at least some vibration damping.
And finally, speaker installed and all the holes sealed. What an unbelievable improvement of
my audio system, quite possibly the biggest single upgrade I've done so far!
Door cards back on, though I did have to remove the lower hole cover I had made, so I will
have to revisit it later and also add LOADS of Dynamat or such material everywhere in the doors.
The next update will be all about audio as well.

Re: 307 Breaknck
Time to finally complete my envisaged audio system!
Out with the old 4-channel amplifier (Magnat Rave 440, on the left, good little amp), in with
the new one (Focal FP 4.75, on the right). Specs: 4 x 75W @ 4 ohms, 4 x 100W @ 2 ohms,
2 x 200W @ 4 ohms. Full active crossover and an output for a second amp.
Previous configuration was 2+1 ch, but since I'm going to run front Focal 165K2P speakers
on Focal FP 4.75 in bridged mode with low gain, it's accompanied by it's monoblock brother,
Focal FP 1.800 (with remote gain control) for the subwoofer.
Specs: 1 x 400W @ 4 ohms, 1 x 600W @ 2 ohms, 1 x 800W @ 1 ohm. Focal 33KX beast
will be unleashed.
Additional wiring was required for the additional amp.
With the front speakers properly installed and with the addition of new amplifiers, I am very
happy with my audio system now! I keep hearing details I previously haven't, in the same
tracks and songs. Next mods will be sound deadening and a better headunit.
As you can see, the 18" RS GT wheels are back on the car as well.

I simply couldn't listen to my Ground Zeros anymore and had to get them. I found a brand new
set in the UK. Very lucky find, as they're not in production anymore and used sets fetch high prices.
Midrange speaker with kevlar membrane, very detailed tweeters and adjustable crossovers.
Can't believe I actually have them now, as I've been dreaming about their predecessors (165K),
many years ago!
I managed to fit them onto the door cards, only just. They sound brilliant but will require proper
installation to make most out of them. I won't waste words trying to describe the difference
between them and my previous speakers.
in the rear i have dual 12" Kicker comp. VR dual 4 ohm´s magnets in an closed box. 69 litres and concrete in the bottom. Now THATS heavy...
