An oil-burning estate might seem an unusual target for a sports upgrade, particularly in a range containing a V6 GT Coupe, but Peugeot has given its 407 Station Wagon the body kit treatment.

The Sport XS trim is an option for the 2.2-litre HDi 170 SW, and includes front and rear spoilers, a mesh grill and twin sports exhaust.

Peugeot will also throw in 15-spoke 18-inch alloys and half-leather upholstery.

There's no performance upgrade to match the looks, though, with the Sport XS retaining the standard 170bhp diesel burner.

Prices start at £23,995, a £;1,500 hike over the equivalent base model.
