My Cars: 2007 Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 16V VTX 1982 Citroen GSA Spécial Estate - gone to a new home 1991 Citroen BX16 TGS Meteor - still out there somewhere!
Message on behalf of Stuart Hedges, who's got no internet connection at the moment:
Some bloody twit has pulled out from a side road and pranged his mintylicious BX TZD estate I don't believe it!
So he's on the lookout for both front and rear driver's side doors, and if at all possible the means to spray them Olympic Blue.
Having had his lovely Mk1 BX completely written off last year, you can imagine how he's feeling... especially after all the hassle he had over the insurance payout.
Can anyone who's got good doors lying about let me know and I'll pass it on. He's still in Bristol until Sunday, when David R is helping him to move to his new flat in Surrey.

That's a bummer for Stuart. The Doc may still have all the silver doors from my previous estate at his barn, up the M5 not too far from Bristol , though possibly one may be minus a window. Don't forget that BX hatchback and estate doors are interchangeable though.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.

Ah excellent - I was wondering about interchangeability! Thanks David.

Pretty much 99% sure: the estate has that look that some felt to be a bit "clunky" precisely because it's only the rear wings, roof and boot floor that differentiate it in bodywork terms, from a BX hatch.

Definitely. The rear doors on an estate are the same as on a hatch.
I've a feeling I'm going to be changing some doors soon...
I've located a pair of Olympic Blue driver's side doors in dirty but seemingly straight condition at Edwards. He wants £70 the pair, which seems OK to me.

That sounds like the ideal fix, although £70 for a couple of doors seems rather expensive to me.
