WANTED: Hub caps for DTR Turbo

Post by brynf33 »

Hello,

A new member here so any advice is appreciated.
I'm looking for hubcaps for my BX but don't know where to start.

This is one of the hub caps I have on the car currently, where can I find some matching ones?

Thanks for your help,

Bryn

How many do you need, and do you need the mounting rings aswell?

I may have a couple, but it'll probably take me a while to find them.

Any more about your car Bryn? DTR Turbos are quite scarce now, only made for 18 months before being changed to the mechanically similar TZD Turbo. The DTR really set the benchmark for modern turbo diesels when launched in 1988.

Well I've been driving it for nearly 8 years now!
Gets me from A to B, near and far, and it's only recently I've really appreciated it.
My sister put a dent in the side door which needs sorting out, and there's a few other cosmetic issues to be resolved but runs very well.

I've not yet developed any more technical knowledge, so not sure if that is the kind of information you were looking for Tim?
It's an F reg so 1989 I believe.

Thanks Bryn

Im not technically minded myself, this forum is as much about driving and enjoying the cars, sharing our experiences as much as getting youre hands dirty! The BX is now widely regarded as a modern classic and had a stand the two last years at the NEC where it was much remembered and admired.

Any more pictures?

Been in the garage at my parents' house and found one more hub cap.
So just 2 hub caps (plus 2 mounting rings) to be sourced!

Thats low mileage for a car that age :) Just keep on top of any rust that is lurking underneath the car, do you do much maintenance yourself or do you have a friendly indepdent garage that likes hydraulic citroen's?

As Mulley says, most BX's end up in the scrapyard due to rust more than mechanical issues now, as they are quite simple by modern standards and parts arent that hard to get, so make sure its solid underneath and any rust is treated as soon as its visible.
