Peugeot have started putting the model numbers on their bonnet/grille surrounds on their latest models so it looks like some wag has copied the style on their old motor. Hey presto - unique 606.

I was heading from Henley on Thames to Reading this afternoon, stuck behind a dark green 06 reg C6 with an LPG conversion (if the offside rear wing was anything to go by).
