I have only gone and......

Post by Toddman »

Bought a bloomin' TD BX :P
130k and on a J plate hoping to tidy it up and put it back on the road but it must of had a lot spent on it at one time as it appears to be gunmetal with cituning front bumper and sideskirts,quad headlamps and cituning dash kit which is going back a bit and some rather tasty OZ alloys.
Will be picking you guys brains for any info on the car once I receive it at the weekend.

Cheers

Sounds nice and now I have good news for you too. If by `gun metal` you mean the dark shade of metallic grey (almost black to look at) I have loads of mint body panels etc in that colour and you have a set of twin headlights which you know deep down you don`t really want.

Well here are the pics I have but I think the colours might be a little off - leather and the car look a tad bluey and I am hoping that the car is gunmetal as I have a P2 16v in gunmetal as well as my white beastie 8) Cavmad you are 3rd in line for the quads mate - I had no idea they were still so popular.
Would love to find some history for the car as it was obviously someones pride and joy and maybe even a demonstrator at some point.

It needs tidying but has potential :D

Looks superb mate, that`s one hell of a car you have there. BTW I`ve just had the two others in line who wanted the quad lights and they`ve both said they aren`t interested anymore and also said you should do a deal with me for the leather as well :D

Certainly does. Some TLC and you'll have a very nice car. Not so sure about the chav dash kit but the rest looks fine. Unlike a modified petrol engine, Diesels can usually take it so it should be ok. Follow the usual recommissioning route and good luck!

Rest of it looks a good car.

The CF was a cituning kit from years back and was available in CF or aluminium foil style - I think I still have the catalogie from way back then.
Some interesting bits on the car will know more at the weekend.

:D Id have a diesel bx if i had the room. It would have to be a tzd model in olyimpic blue or grey. Then id maybe fettle it a bit for a bit more power. often thought about changing the rs turbo for one as diesel makes more sense for running around

:shock: Don`t tell him that for heaven`s sake :D

Vanny, I now may have put two and two together. You have pm by the way and I have one garage with a certain BX (petrol) hatchback inside it awaiting a visit!
