Phil, I think you're right about the colour. It's unusual to see a BX in Meteor Grey... and correct me if I'm wrong, but they never made the Phase 2 available in Meteor. It is actually quite striking...
Now, it just needs the new tailgate and Black interior fitting...
Tourist - I'm sure that if you wanted to, your TXD could look as good, if not better than the 14, but bare in mind I've been working at it (On and off) since November 2007. You just have to have a vision, and stick with it... I lost my focus when I bought a bloody 16v, but I'm going to see it through to the end now.
