That sounds interesting. Have you any pics, and a price in mind?

I'll post pics, but for now, it's one that has a single full sized bulb in a c.5" wide brake light unit with a plastic 'tunnel' that you cut to suit the angle of the rear screen. Then you put a rubber seal around the edge to tidy it up. It mounts like a rear view mirror on a pedestal onto the glass - or can be screwed onto the rear parcel shelf although you would need to add a connector / plug if you wanted to do that, to allow removal of the shelf.

All the instructions and pieces are there including a rear screen angle measuring device... And as I said it's a proper period Hella item.

Given its age the adhesive might be a little dried out on the pad, but who knows - you can always use the fixing adhesive kit you can get for the aforesaid mirrors.

I'd sell for £12.

Ive got a similar thing fitted to my TZi which was on it, works very well.

Has anyone got any mark 1 bits?

Im especially interested in side rubbers and badges (Citroen and BX 16TRS etc) for after the resoray/bodywork to be done over the winter.

Ive got a metal "Citroen" one with the double chevrons you can have gratis, came of a 84 BX GT.

Good news is that brother and I should be camping

I'll make sure I have the light with me then, Ray. I'm camping too. So ....

These guys are all driving dangerously close I'd say!

This is sounding like an excellent weekend - Adrian Chapman's talked me into camping and a few

. Apparently there'll be Citroen's there too...

Looking at that bend, if they're doing any more than 5MPH they're all going to end up in a heap at the side of the road anyway

Just remember to put up your tent before you start the evening's drinking - I forgot last year

(in my defence I did arrive rather late).

Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure brother gets the tent up before I'll let him loose on the beer

Just an idea but so we Bxclub can all park together,would a graphic that we can print off and stick in the car window be a good idea? just dont ask me to do it as i cant even put pictures on the gallery im totally u/s with these computer thingys.

I imagine as this is under the CCC banner, promoting the BXC forum like that might raise a few eyebrows, but many of us have BX Club stickers. Is it time to get some more printed I wonder...

Vanny · Post by **Vanny** » Wed Jun 30, 2010 5:37 pm

reprint the stickers of death, surely not

You'll be able to spot me, just look for the collection of abandoned non Citroens and i'll be around them some where.

I dont think the CCC will mind really, my conversations with the powers that be is that they make everyone welcome and they know that the BX is fast approaching classic status, the place is big enough for us all to be able to park together, those getting there on the Saturday could maybe start it off, would be nice if we could get them all in a line/or together!
