Ok after been driving the car for almost 4 months i decided to 'rebadge' the 'engineer by peugeot' logo to the original/CBU version which is bigger.. another reason is also because i didnt want to repeat the 'Lion' emblems at the rear.. got the large one and another small one.
The original CKD 206 with smaller peugeot wording and repeated small and large lion emblems at he rear.
First of all i used a tape to mark up where the Peugeot word goin to be.. and also to make sure i didnt mess it up when put the logo and ended up the logo is uneven or slanding at one side
I guess the hardest part is how to take out the emblems.. some suggested just pull it out (which might broken it in pieces), some suggested using a screw driver (screw him), and some suggested using a sewing thread (best way, suggested by Xloader/Ethan). So i decided to used the thread /wire just to see which is the best. At first i was using the sewing thread.. which didnt last long.. its snapped at every 1-2mm of cutting thru the double-sided tape under the logo. Then i decided to used the garden wire which is alot easier... but you need to do slowly, as it will eventually snap also. Pull the thread/wire in up down moving (sawing).
And this is what it might ended up.. still got abit of 'leftover' double sided tape here and there.
Ok eveything is out.
To clean out the sticky part of the double-sided tape on the surface, there is actually a few ways.. for me i just using my finger/nail to scrap it off (suggested by Ethan).. and well it easily come off.. then i steal some nail polish remover from my wife to clean off some stubborn part.. just use a cloth dip some (a little amount will do, dont go too crazy) of it and wipe it fast and quickly use a wet cloth to clean it again... and i also actually did some waxing on it too hehe just to make sure the surface is shinny clean.
Check out the size differences of the CBU and CKD Peugeot emblems. Its comes with pre-stick double-sided stikers
Now using the tape as your guide line, slowly stick the Peugeot wording on the surface lightly..so that if you mess up you still can take it out, and when you are satisfied with the position then press it hard.. press on each letter to make sure it stick properly.. and lastly just wipe it off with a cloth... and its done... all new, shinny and large!
Now the left right looks balanced
As for the old emblem.. hmm well i got some plan for it and will do some DIYing too if i got time.. so for now, it just goin to be kept inside the boot.

Looks dirty n ugly
Well no more, i got a tips for you on how to easily clean it and maintain it in a tip top conditions.
All you needed is 1 piece of scour pad ( those green pan sponge ) cut it in smaller size, best is same size as the plastic lining, 1 black KIWI show polish and 1 old cloth.
Watermark that cant be clean of just by normal washing
First use the scour pad to scrub off all the watermark, dust etc. make sure it is evenly scrub and also most importantly not to scrub on your car paintwork!
Next use the old cloth and the KIWI shoe polish, give it a good amout of it.. dont be stingy.
Lastly slowly n gently apply it on the plastic part, you might need to redo a couple of time to make it all evenly dark/black.
The final result, it looks clean and new. I could had do a better job on it hehe but since i havent wash my car yet so i just do a little demo for the blog
Another tips is how to maintain your wiper so that it last longer and performs better. All you need is a very simple thing either a clean cloth or few pieces of tissue papers.
Hold the wiper in the middle and grab it together so that its not loose.
Use the cloth or tissue papers and wipe it hard in up down motion.
You will notice it is very dirty. The wiper gets dirty easily so it is best to clean it whenever possible and not just wait untill you decided to wash the car. The method is simple and doesnt require water or detergent and can be done at any place. Of course it is better to used detergent and water for best result.
Thanks to Mr.Hin from Blue Box Glenmarie for the tips

Ok.. since i cant find a suitable rims for my 206, (maybe i am abit too choosey).. and since i am goin to JB anyway, i decided to try my luck there....
Started my journey from KL around 4.pm.. and reaches Sg.Besi Toll at 4.45pm.. wahh damn jam.. normally it would took about 20mins only.. sigh~.. anyway went straight toward JB and reaches there about 7.15pm.. damn tired... along the way there is like 1 petrol car on every 10-20km!.... didnt go fast around 110kmph-130kmph and sometimes 150+kmph when overtaking cars or goin down hills hehe..

2nd day, Alvan decided to take me to Pelangi to search for the rims... and we been to about 7-8 tyre shop but none of them got any.. no PCD 108 at all!... then on one of the last shop.. finally there is one... went inside, there owner had to dig deep.. really digging deep into his rims collections and found one...
Well this is the only rims that i've found... not really my type tho... sigh~.. selling for about rm1600 damn expensive... the owner said it is supposely made in Japan and the rims cap written made for BBS... (like i care)..
Oh well.. been searching for about 4-5 hours still no luck, so we call it a day... coz we were goin to a party later on at Alvin's house (my others cousin)
While on the way to the party, we pass by the JB Nasim showroom and just at the enterance i saw a white 206.. ! brand new manual... looks nice... for me its either black or white is the best look on a car... but i didnt managed to take a picture.. as it was quite dark, around 8.00pm and the security guard were abit worry seeing our car stop outside infront of the gate hehe..
Day 3 (last day)
After failing to looks fo the rims in JB.. well i kinda let go the idea of getting it here.. so in the morning we went to shopping at JJ with Alvan and his family... and suddenly i saw a counter selling rims!... oh must go and had a look... seems like they are doin some promotion.. so i went there and ask the fellow about the 15" for pug. Sadly he told me there is only 16" and show me the picture of it from the catalog.

Started my journey home at 9.00pm.. reaches K.L at 11.20pm... long journey... damn tired man..
Today went out with Andrew again hehehe... this time we went to met one of his friend Yee for lunch and chatted abit. Yee is the person that Andrew told me about his a problems with his 406 AL4 gearbox which was 'infected' by water. We had a long chat about the problems and i also learned alot about it.. (will post out more detail in future) Seems like the AL4 gearbox is something that quite hard to tame... problems of water goin in, jerking, slips disc etc... hope mine doesnt had the problems or else ...sigh~.. for flushing already cost rm7-8k!! touch wood, touch wood...
On the way home after lunch, i told Andrew about the Stamford Wheel and we went to Tmn Maluri to look for the shop, while in the car i was browsing the catalog and found this nice looking rims.. well my go and try my luck there..
The shop is located next to the Mayban at the corner lot.. not alot of rims there and they are selling Falken tyre.. went in and saw the same rims from the catalog! but it is 17" and not Pug PCD... so i ask the owner about the 15" PCD 108 and he told me yes they have!... yay!!!! but ... there is always but.. sigh~ he need to check the stock.. and he only be able to do it in these 2 days.. ah.... seems like i had to wait abit then... just hope that i am not that bad luck..

5 spokes, clean, tidy and smart
Remember about the wheel arc from the last posting? Yup i finally got it installed!... well DIY ofcourse... i got the wheel arc from Andrew.. seems like hes been keeping it for almost 3 years hehe.. i guess the arc is waiting for the right owner.. me!
The manual so call book la...
serial/part no. original from Peugeot Australia
No wheel arc...
Wheel arc!
Wheel arc on all 4 side
Now.. what do i think of the wheel arc... frankly speaking, the car looks good without wheel arc on a 14" rims with 175/65/14 tyre.. but, it will looks more aggrasive or so call garang on a bigger rims and low profile tyre..
So now is a must to get my bigger rims!!!!! hopefully the Stamford Wheel got it.... gonna call them in 2 days time and... pray la...
Thanks to Alvins and Jes for the hospitality in JB.. and i missed elsa too...
Thanks to Andrew for helping me search for the rims and Yee for the AL4 gearbox info...
