Speedline wanted!
Thanks to a charming Land Rover driver forcing us off the road to avoid hitting him head-on, we are left with two wrecked Speedlines. We had one spare, so we have three in total. Does anyone know of one for sale, please?
Re: Speedline wanted!
I had similar a few years back with a Qashqai - which I now call Squashkies...
Dinged the o/s sill.
Good luck finding a wheel.

Re: Speedline wanted!
Thanks for the good luck wishes. I know Speedlines are scarce. Hopefully just wanting one makes it a little easier. Tyres were of course wrecked as well, one of which was a Mich less than 1000 miles old. Needless to say, Landie didn't bother to stop.

Re: Speedline wanted!
6J 16v ones seem more common than 5.5J width at the moment.
How badly dented are they? I found it easier to have two of mine repaired recently than replaced when I hit a mega pothole.

Re: Speedline wanted!
Only the GTi 4x4 and hurricane came with the 5.5j as standard.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....

The ONLY other SILVER finished Speed-lines where Phase one 16 Valver's (As O/E equipment with 6J's) !
ALL other BX's with O/E Graphite Speed-line's were 6'J's !

Re: Speedline wanted!
You could order GTi/TZDs (although I imagine any BX you ordered) with 5.5J Speedlines in silver if you wanted as an optional extra.

Re: Speedline wanted!
They are quite badly damaged, so the possibility of repair is quite remote. The three that we have are a mixture of 5.5J and 6J, two of which are graphite and one silver. So either size or colour will suit, as beggars can't be choosers. I was just hoping that there would be one somewhere out there, but no luck so far.

Try Mark at Edwards & Sons, Citroen breakers. http://www.edwardsandson.co.uk - you might be lucky finding one (or more).

Re: Speedline wanted!
Thanks very much for that suggestion. I used them regularly many years ago, and had forgotten all about them. I've just rung them, to find that regrettably they are closed and reopen on 20 Jan; I shall try them then. Meanwhile if anyone else has any, I'd be very keen to hear from them.
Re: Speedline wanted!
I have 4 on my TXD which i will breal soon but ime reluctant to split them up bud.

Re: Speedline wanted!
I could buy all four from you and offer my spare ones for sale to others, if you'd be willing to sell all four. Otherwise at the moment I can't see a way forward and can't use the car.
