	bought this in May and loving every minute of owning it all I have done to the car is add some badgework , sony mask head unit with a shuttle and an amp powering the 6X9's in the rear shelf. picked up a sunroof and side window deflectors , car has been super reliable only glitches being the mfa cover came loose giving the ecu false readings and the original battery died , the clutch has just started to slip a bit so will get that done 160 bhp of lightweight loveliness the above picture shows the only sign of rust anywhere on the car a mix of good and bad bits ( but not many bad ) and this for the boot

	NOWAY !!!!! Sorry, P1's look perfect, more discreet yet harder with the non gay 16valve badge on the back and not the gay one son the side etc. P1 in black with the graphite factory wheels, hard as nails!!!! (i used to have one obviously)

	is it a 16valve then ?
	Lets clear up car terms: "Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence. "Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

	How many valves has it got? That looks like a honey of a BX, unimpressed by the badges though TBQH.... unnecessary.

	I very very nearly bought one like that but rougher about this time last year. very nice, couple too many badges 'CITROEN' is nice, reminds me of my dad going 'turbo diesel' and 'GLE' mad in 1984 on his Volv 760 ;D

	Lovely car - loose the badges and don't sell it to someone who wants it for the engine.
