Like this a lot, hope you are repainting it the same colour No one seems to understand my love for low cars in Finland, especially when I'm different and doing it on an old Citroen I was a bit annoyed with some of the responses you got on Sitruunapatonki (Finnish Citroen forum literally "lemon baquette") since one thing I used to like about that forum was that they didn't seem to take themselves to seriously. Just keep going! You can always drive it to England and get a lot of love for it at the Retro Rides Gathering (I did that with my GS in '10). Failing that you can come by airplane (my trip for this year is already booked).

Yeah, they can be really annoying sometimes.. Would love to go to England, but it's not a cheap trip, especially with a car. Oh and heres my plan for my Visa project, quick photoshop:

^^You must do this!
Love the BX too. Looks fantastic, the kit, stance and wheels all spot on.

A BX was the first car I ever drove way back in '96 so have a love for them! Love your car, but I don't like the quad lights, originals look a lot better.

I'm glad you like it! If any of you have some ideas for it, please do share. It needs small tints, but i'll see when I get it done. Something i've always been a fan of is the phase one 16v front spoiler fitted to the standard (no foglights) front bumper. The red one in this picture had that treatment and it looked much cleaner for it. Unfortunatley i'll have to hunt for a better picture of it. As for the rest of the phase two bodykit, i think it looks a lot nicer than the phase one. White is definatley the best colour for a bx though. Both of mine were silver but i always wanted a white one.

Oh the Visa on Hayashi Street Fins must be done, it looks amazing! Well done on the BX, I do love them. I had a 1.7td years ago, it was a fantastic car

Ok, can someone explain to me the spacer for the struts works? Goes under the top mount raising it by the thickness of the spacer. So when the suspension is depressurised it sits that bit lower.

That does look pretty stunning, regardless of the absence of summer.

I spy Morettes in that picture too. The BX is one of those cars that doesn't always suit the Morette lights but on yours they work really exceptionally well, especially with the long-nose bonnet.

I'm liking this a lot! Visa plan looks good too! There used to be a couple of quick gti visas around here. One rumoured to be Peugeot s16 on throttle bodies! Always fancied a C15 van on 16v setup....

I then wanted to start cleaning the interior as it stinks of wood (the material not the smell of a boner) best quote ever!

Here's a pic how it stands now. Rear bumper is currently getting some fiberglass, which is why it's off.
