Post by BX4X4X2 »

Hi, just spotted this: http://www.leboncoin.fr/equipement_auto ... tm?ca=17_s" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bit pricey but where do you find another.

That's been on Leboncoin for quite along time now. Might be worth putting in an offer.

Interesting, but I think ultimately a no from me. A great thing to own and to use, even just for something like the NEC.

These look ok on CXs with their concave rear screen, but on a bx its like a clumsy appendage that sticks out a bit too much IMHO.

I think your either into '70 slats in house, garden and car, or your not. Its like half cloth covered fixed head roofs and finned rear light additions. No need for them, its stylistic. Fashion is illogical and arbited by vested interests, so a complete load of bollocks really. Dangerously puce GT6 territory. See completely sex changed four wheel drives currently available. No thanks. The louvre doobrey is not helped by looking like a left over from an Airfix kit, in this case. LIke I say, after the event, a fun thing to own and show off. Some will love it, others not. Now where are my Winkle Picker sandals?

Where is a crane and a grand piano when you want one? No, Skoda went for all the bolt ons to tempt buyers, didn't they. Never really got all this stuff really but your talking to someone who does not really approve of radios in cars!
