I sort of was (I've got some ideas) but it would have to be a TU one...? Is that likely to be a TU or a suitcase one? Short of cash right now too :( but might consider it!

Looks nice. Original wheel trims? Also has those door handle protector thingies fitted.

Worth someone's money, I'd say.

Would this be pre-plastic coated pipes?

Got a reply: LOOKING FOR £495.00

That's what it's advertised for apparently.

I have the guy's phone number if anyone's interested...

They're not the original wheeltrims, they're those Halfords wannabe TXD pieces of tat :!:

Personally I think the spoiler and fogs look wrong on it. They're the original accessories by the look of it.

Seems fair for what is a very sright looking car, I know 1.4s arent that popular and I do doubt it will fetch £495 on ebay though.

Sure? I thought they looked a bit like the Meteor trims. Anyway, I stand corrected :D

As for original accessories I think they're OK - it's later, after market ones that look CR*P so often. It's all a matter of taste (well, not exactly - some genuine, contemporary Citreon accessories are 'orrid! - but in my mind legitimate!) 8)

You misunderstand me, sir. I meant original Meteor trims... not Halfords at all. But life's too short! :lol: I'm not an expert. (Tim, do a directory of BX wheel trims, please :D )

Ah, but you misunderstand the misunderstanding, sir. :lol:

I meant the TX* trims are wannabe Halfords trims. Equally tacky.
