Wow, do you have any pictures of the metal case in the wing?

I thought this forum was a FB free zone. Anyone know what's going on.
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

I can't see the issue with posting a video of the carnage to be honest.

Also, that looks like a steel bonnet. I thought only the very early cars and the last of the Heuliez breaks had those?
