I bought this recently, I love BX Turbo Diesels and this one doesn't disappoint.
1992 BX 4x4 Gti aircon Silver
1991 BX 19 TGD Red(the Red Baron)
1993 BX 17 TZD Red the new Daily
1986 BX 16 RS Leader (The only 1 left I believe)
2003 Landrover Defender 110 CSW TD5
1985 Landrover Defender 90 4SC County
some other newer Nissans
Hi Tim , it does have C5 alloys for now, it will be going onto speedlines, the bonnet is a correct period accessory but the original bonnet was supplied also, I quite like the it's different factor , a sunroof wind deflector was supplied to but I need to make the clips. On the whole it's a very useable car. I find it quite sad now that I'm meeting people that haven't seen a BX in action I have to park it at work with the suspension down or I get people coming to tell me the back springs broken when it sinks!

Same as me, if I ever go anywhere in one of mine (the GT especially in early 80s beige) people come and talk to you.
Nice one. Yes with the bonnet it's a bit of a marmite thing. I think if you could work out a way of getting the chevrons onto it, it'd be better. Looks like it'll come up a treat (new indicators will spruce it up lol) - and (IMO) you really do need to lose those number plates. :-/
Now should I really kill the styling and add the Morettes resting in the garage, I agree on the number plates, I've got rid of the yellow headlights it also needs the oroginal pram handle spoiler refitting in place of the small black one , there no rush I might have it all done for the ICCCR

The plates are pressed metal French style and were on the car when I bought it, It would be better with some period British plates

Maybe, but if those are full metal plates then they will last longer than plastic ones in a supermarket car park especially when someone "taps" it with a tow-ball.
The main consideration is , I guess, whether they conform to the UK regulations and are legal?
