I've never seen a front end like this before.

Aftermarket options maybe

Looks like a budget DeLorean.

I would expect that from a Renault 9!

Looks good though.

The visa grille is more rounded and the headlamps recessed, plus I woudl imagine it to be a bit smaller.

on the other hand the Renault 9 grill is too wide ?

I put the advert through Google translate and it doesn't mention the front modifications.

I thought it looked a bit Maestro or Montega maybe, but the Renault 9 is a good call.

Not the best translation, but better than my French!

I thought Tim meant so as to send the bloke an email.

EDIT: I've sent him an email ..... Désolé de vous déranger. Votre voiture a été repéré dans un forum en anglais pour la BX Citroën. Nous sommes perplexes, où la grille de radiateur entre les phares vient du?

Certainly looks Renault 9. The grille doesn't quite work, but the headlamps really suit it I reckon.

Looks a bit Scirocco-ish to me.

I've sent him an email asking if he knows anything about it.

Renault 11 apparently!
