I quite like the morette headlights, they suit a valver best because of the bodykit seems to blend with the lights somewhat, but i'd fit them to my turbo d if i could get hold of some for sensible money, but they are rare & usually go for quite a bit.

Hi Kieran !
It's the very rare optional Front one as can be just seen in the sixth photo of my O/P in THIS thread !

:wink:

.
Possibly the rarest BX option out there?
:shock: Must be ultra rare! Not a chance a getting on of those for a black TZD interior so :lol:

I do like these quad lights and it seems the seller is local to me!

Just where and how does the front armrest fit?

It bolts through the holes on the rear of the centre console where headphone sockets are fitted on the higher spec. models (two recesses in the plastic moulding). Then simply hinges forward. I had one that I found in a French scrapyard in 2009, but sold it as it was in the way. The flap opens the wrong way for RHD cars, as I believe they never did a separate version for us Brits.

This. They look totally at odds with the car for me.

Quads on an E30? Yes. BX? No.

Mat, are you sure ?
As the Blue 1.9 N/A Diesel (Which has one fitted) in THIS thread quite clearly shows the hinges on the left hand side therefore the access/opening is bias towards the driver side :wink:

I stand corrected – it was something I’d read, but now I come to think of it I wonder whether it was actually talking about the BX or not :oops:

First armrests, then pipe and slippers. Won't be long before someone comes up with a nice victorian fireplace to retro-fit in place of the glove box.

I'm bidding. I thought that as the general consensus on here is that they are ugly that no one else would be interested!

They're going silly, so they're all yours anyway! Lots of foolish early bidding going on though...
