The day I collected her (2days before French Car Show 06)

She was sitting really high as it was on axle stands for the past 2 months so springs were settling again

- Custom Widearch Kit
- Rubstrips removed
- Tailgate smoothed
- Whole kit blended into bodywork and into each adjoining part
- f1 style carbon mirrors
- Pearl white respray
- 19" chrome BK Racing wheels









Got it back on Friday and the Sunday was French Car Show, cleaned her up etc and amazingly with no interior or sound it won best citroen award





with club

Then was some time to pimp up the engine bay, nothing major as I was 20years old with a 1.6 fully modified and a previous claim valued at ?20k.....my insurance company loved me!

Just painted rocker cover, fuse cover, attached the R from my VTR badge and home-polished my mani-shield. Batter cover also got done but is not in the pics
