As requested here's some pics of the car. Don't know if this is the right place to post them but couldn't find an owners gallery.

For some reason when I upload pics the right hand side of the pics are cut off so it only shows 75% of the pic but you get the jist of how it looks anyway.
What do you 206 cc gurus think. Any hints on how it could look better. I love it but as its new to me I could be still in the honeymoon period!!
Hi Julie,
Loving your car!!! A pic of mine above. Maybe get some chrome roll bars? I love the wheel arch extensions I've got some but haven't had any time to paint then(currently black). Hope everyone on the forum are well and roll on spring!.
Thanks, your car is very similar to mine. Are the roll bars expensive? I've read somewhere that the cheap ones from eBay are not up to much safety wise, is that right?
I wasn't sure about the safety aspect but looked at previous discussions on the forum and forum member Omak quoted;
Hi
This is my first post in years!
The hoops don't really serve any real purpose as the A pillar and the boot are the only contact points with the ground should the car roll while the roof is down, hence ebay chrome hoops are just as good.
Have fun with your CCs - I miss mine.

Maybe some one on here is more informed than myself.
Great, thanks for that. Will have a look for some then.
I can see myself spending quite a bit on this to get it how I want want, it drives nice as it is but a few more mechanical things to do yet before I can think of styling. (Says my husband!!!)
So far since I got it mid January, it's had
- front tyres
- full exhaust
- mfd display bulbs
In the next couple of weeks
- cambelt and water pump change
- oil, filters and spark plugs( has FSH and not due for another 10800 but hubby likes to do it as soon as we have new car)
- discs and pads all round (better safe than sorry)
- leather seats treated
- full valet
In a couple of months before summer season
- paint touch ups (stone chips mostly)
- dent removal (car par trolley ding, nothing major)
- alloys refurbed or new ones (last owner not too careful when parking)
After that,
- new stereo with aux and BT for my iPhone (not a necessity but would be nice)
- chrome roll bars
- ??
- ??
I can see the usual shopping trips taking the back seat for a while!!
Am I being too particular? or is it worth spending the money to get it how I want it both mechanically and visually?
I'm still in the new car stage where I look out of my bedroom window just to see it, and always glance back at it when I've just parked up and walking away. I love it. :-)
