No Joe but not bad looking
A lad in Ashfield college in templeogue had one like that back in the day.
Same colour and dimma kit.
Can't remember if it was 106 or 306.
Think 306.
Anyway back on point!
Check out frank the frenchie and mannie the frenchie of FB.
Two characters owned by one lady.
The screams out of them are hilarious.
there was a yellow 306 dimma
and also a white 205 dimma floating around back in the day
there the ones i seen anyway
2 brothers in foxrock had wide body 206 as well in 2004 one had lowrider wire wheels
anybody remember a vauxhall chavette or some old skool vauxhall that was in one of the early max power magazines i remember that ended up in Athlone too

Ah your showing your age no colm lol
remember that
We built this. We sweated over how it should look. We drove it hard and fast. And then we gave it away... such is the life of Max Power project cars.It was August 1993 when Grahame Steed, then editor of Max, hit the streets with a company chequebook, looking for a sound BMW 3-series that could be developed into Project XS. He found a low mileage, white 320i SE, checked it out and promptly brought it home.Before anything else was done, a Clifford alarm and immobiliser system was fitted. Then came the all-essential ICE, followed by Corbeau seats and Momo wheel and gearknob. Already it was looking better inside, but the outside was still stock - and that`s how it was when Project XS made its first public appearance at the London Motor Show.After the show, work started on turning the Beemer into the widest 3-series around. To do that, there was no choice but to opt for a Rieger conversion, which meant that much of the original bodywork had to be cut off. But how we laughed a few weeks later when we got out a tape measure. It was 6ft 4in wide! Rieger had recommended 15in diameter wheels, which even in 1994 were unfashionably small, so we opted for a set of 17in Compomotives; 9ins wide at the front, 11in at the back.That just left the paint. It couldn`t just be any old paint - Project XS had the honour of Max Power at stake, after all. The resultant purple to red fade-in chequer scheme just blew everyone`s mind.With paint like that, the motor had to be a bit special too. Griffin built up one of its 2.5-litre conversions, reckoned to chuck out 190bhp, and we were sorted.
