I was going to ask, does anybody know if the wind deflrctors off a 405 or 205 can be made to fit the BX?

Right Chidlow, meet you in the car park at 5.30pm. "Anything goes, nothing below the belt"

I wonder who the current high bidder may be

I`m only going to let you off with that because you`re not a football supporter. Andy Milner is the legendary ex-Chester player who scored against Wr*xham on Valentine`s night 1996. We were 2-1 down at half time and had a player sent off in the 44th minute and another in the 45th. 2-1 down, down to nine men and facing a (heavy) defeat against our archemost of archest rivals and all looked grim until the God of all things football burst through late in the second half and scored an absolute wonder goal to send the travelling supporters of sleeping giants Chester into a wild frenzy. Wr*xham fans visibly crying as they left the ground with our cheers ringing into their ears we went to the pub and celebrated big time. It was worth the extra earache from SWMBO (Valentines night remember) and the game and the player are deeply etched into local footballing history.
Cav `Stuart Hall` Mad, BX owner and Andy Milner worshipper.

Thanks for that bit of education Billy,I'm also a Stuart Hall fan.When I was a lad,I never missed an episode of "It's a knockout"

It was worth tuning in to listen to Stuart's insane laughter

Somehow I don't think we'll be the only ones interested, Billy! I have my price and that's it...

Why would you want to deface your cars with all this plastic crap. Isn't there enough plastic on a BX already.

Didn't like saying,but I agree with you Ken,My dad had a pair on his ZX and they fell off(best thing that could have happened to them

)

True enough, true enough. I`ve just spotted some rather vile plastic rear windows on there in a soggy cardboard box

I must admit (*Saddo alert*) I quite like these window thingies and they`ll save me from getting a sore neck when driving. Then again without them I`d be able to hear `er indoors a bit better so maybe I should stop bidding now

I want them, but I guess they will fetch 'silly' money and I won't end up with them. The thing is that any genuine BX accessory has it's appeal, from dog guard (I have one - but no dog), those plastic doors that fit over the boot cubby holes, sunroof wind deflectors (which do IMHO work well), door handle guards (

), BX mats and boot liners and so on...

(As Ian might agree?).

It's like making sure you have the 'right' wheel trims - it's the urge to be 'authentic' - even if, in all honesty, it makes no difference to the day-to-day use of the car. And it is after all, a matter of taste.

Indulge the 'Saddos', Ken. One day you might need something for your BX that until now you'd scorned... (BTW have you got a dog?)

Would you like one? (a MK1 to be precise)

Hey, look:

Doesn't look too bad does it?
