Blimey, that was fast! :o

The two new rear panels arrived by courier today. V impressive service from AEP, who do loads of BX bits on eBay and seem to be happy to take offers. The invoice has an ex-VAT invoice price of £118, an ebay price of £96 and they sold for £70 plus P&P - maybe I should've gone lower? Anyway, still delighted. It arrived well packaged and they seem to take care in their despatch department.

The panel from Imperial arrived in a bit of bubble wrap and no protective outer covering, so some of the edges were a bit bent. No major dramas, but worth watching if you are planning on buying bendable bits from them.

Anyway, Mulley, I double-checked and the green tint rear light cluster is on the O/S and is in decent nick. It will be attached to the rest of the car so there may have to be some spanner-wielding if its the one you want to liberate.

Tim, I assume you are talking tents here? Top tip - give it a trial run so you know which bits go where. Some tents can be very difficult to suss out first time you put them up and there is great potential for embarrassment, if you get my drift. :oops:

Cheers Des, no spanners required to liberate the rear lights, i'll even fit your replacement for you if you don't know how to?

Inappropriate turn of phrase on my part, mate. I have been doing remedial work in the boot and just to let you know that the green-tinted o/s unit is a valeo item and in good nick. No cracks or scuffs that I can see. Same goes for the n/s unit.

Hi Des,
It currently look's like it was the only panel (Unless they get more stock in) :(

As when you click on the link I put in the OP it come's up as :-

There are currently no Rear Wing parts for Citroen BX Hatchback 1989-1994 available online.
So good job you didn't hesitate in getting it ordered !

Carpe Diem! I anticipated these panels would be as rare as rocking-horse droppings. No sense in looking a gift (rocking) horse in the mouth either. Let's hope there are some more lurking in dark corners, cos I think they will be needed - Rust never sleeps... :(
