Finally, after more than 10 years, we finally replaced the 206 SW.
I chose a 208, with an engine slightly more powerful (82 hp instead of 75), which is now enough for me as the car is also less heavy (100 kg less).

It appears black, but it is a very dark blue.
The weather isn't very good. Yesterday it was sunny, I was supposed to get it yesterday, but in the last minute the garage called because the car wasn't ready yet.

No wheel covers? :smile:

For the winter-tires they are often uncommon, alloys above all (except the cheap no-name ones).

Original wheels were 15" with wheel covers.
They didn't had any 15" winter tires left, so they gave me 16" instead. But then I couldn't use the wheel covers on them.
I'll try to find the small Peugeot hubcaps that cover just the centre of the wheel. My father did that, reusing those that were on his previous 106 rallye on the new 208: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fcEoOsJHL4U/Up9mCebivjI/AAAAAAAACmI/WYlqVFvygoU/s1600/p13+P3050099r.jpg
Those from the 205/106 Rallye are hard to find (or expensive to buy new), but those from the Peugeot Partner are probably easier to find (and look similar).

With a little impression of the typical Belgian way of parking :tongue:

It was in front of the garage entrance of the neighbor, most likely just for putting things in the trunk, not for parking :tongue:

Nice choice. Congratulations!
Same with wheel covers.

Congrats on the new car!!

But as an American, I'm obligated to ask where the other half of it?

Enjoy!!

Congratulations for the new car. But is this one your own or always of the company that you work?
17/01/2014 @ 13:34:25: antp: My new car: Peugeot 208
Still a company car.
Only car I owned was the 106 between 2001 and 2003.

My father found on Ebay centre-wheel hubcaps from a 106 Rallye, it looks better as it hides the ugly part in the middle of the steel wheel:
