Hmmm....

Apologies for the crap camera pics..

A local guy put his name down for it and bailed out at the last minute leaving me with more cars at the moment than i've had for a long time...

I was using this car this week and was spending £10 a day in fuel for 102 miles which is excellent. I must be the only guy here who loves the 14's over every other model..

I really wanted this car to keep..everytime I say that something else comes along..(GSA Pallas with factory sunroof)

It probably won't go on ebay though I had an offer of a part ex for an XM (which I really need like a hole in the head) Ideally i'd like a bit of cash and a nice project car (visa or GSA would be nice) I got real lucky witha that TZi I sold when I got cash plus a 2.1 TD Xantia Estate on an R plate..

C'mon guys: details, details! :wink: It has TZD trims too, not original... :shock: but hey... I've seen the car in the flesh and it looks bonzer. Interior is same trim colour/spec as the St Tropez.

Hope it gets a good price!

I wasn't criticising, just curious. I like the interior trim. Cool retro as they say... 8)

A few years ago I was talking to a Citroen specialist in Derby who said exactly the same thing!

Who bloody cares what wheel trims it`s got? Is there some sort of Secret Services Originality Squad that go round at night snatching cars with non-original trims on them?
If it`s a nice car at a nice price then go for it.

Amen Billy, this whole wheeltrim thing is getting unbearably anal.
How difficult is it to change a set of trims? Not difficult at all. I wouldn't say no to a car cos the wheeltrims are wrong. :roll:

Anyway, we all know alloys are for the win!!!!! :wink:

Yeah I was trying to be ironic - I don't care what trims cars come with. This car looked nice with Tizzy trims :)

When I got the car the bumpers were painted black but were chipped and the grey was showing underneath..I put an add on here for grey bumpers none were forthcoming so I put a black set of bumpers on thinking that this was what came with the car originally..It works as the car has black and silver interior and exterior fitments
I always put TZD hubcaps on all my cars that I use personally but return them to their orginals on point of sale..Citroen do make the nicest hubcaps

Aye, the paint of my TZD estate bumper is pretty poor and it has no foglights so I`ll use the one off the spares car (with fogs) and spray it myself.
