Hi,
I've had more than my share of Citroens over the years (DS, GS 1015 and 1220, GSX2 (look it up!) and various BXs. And a Peugeot or two as well. Currently I have a BX16v Ph2 (in red) and a 308SW. And an M3, but that's a story for a different forum.
Hoping to find a few bits for my 16v, as the old thing is desperately in need of some TLC (and some shinier paint).
Cheers
Mungous

Welcome welcome - BX's rule!! LOL
FYI - I am dismantling a BX (diesel) this weekend so if you need any bits that are not motor specific and if I haven't burgled those bits for my own purpose then let me know ASAP and I'll keep them aside for you. Otherwise its off to the scrappy unfortunately..
PS - whereabouts in NZ are you?
I'm in Auckland, and really need exterior 16v-specific parts more than anything. In particular, front and rear bumpers. The Phase 2 bumpers are fibreglass and, as it turns out, don't like lamp-posts or pumpkins (don't ask).
Although if you've got a good electric door mirror I'd be keen on that...
The ph2 bits are pretty hard to get; especially undamaged. You can buy repro ones new from overseas though.
The repro ones will be a last resort - I fitted a set of them to a mate's car only after much swearing and cursing about the poor fit...
Sorry - only got manual door mirrors
As they is fibreglass- easy fix. Just repair em, i did. Then repaint em
IMHO you have NO chance finding a set of P2 left in the country i think- any in a wreck are generally fooked.
Good luck!
Found a pic of the red racer:

I really want to drag it out and give it a birthday...
Found a pic of my old ID - it had been sitting in a barn for over 20 years when I bought it. Only had 60k miles on it too. Just needed a new gearbox, a bit of TLC (and LHS) and she was off!
Why the hell did I sell it.....?

Haha - I love going through old photos and digitimising the cool ones. Found this classic from way back in the 20th century (I wonder what ever happened to that car?!):

Was still roadworthy late 2010
Really?! It was hardly roadworthy when I sold it back in 2001. 300,000km will do that to a BX. It had about 160,000 miles on it when I swapped the speedo for a km/h one, and then I did at least another 10,000km in it before selling it. It had a cool set of 5-spoke Speedlines on it by then as well. Otherwise it was a proper grandpa's axe of a car. I even made a frankenstein gearbox out of two buggered ones when I was a poor student and it spilled its spider gears on the road outside the Bowler in Dunedin...
<<<edit - I see it is on its third speedo now!!>>>
love the ID!
who has it now? looks like praveen menon's one?
Yep. I sold it to part-finance my first racecar; it had its paint cleaned up and sold to Praveen for about 12000000x more than I sold it for.
Regrets? I've had a few...
oh mate.
I need to go to chchc and see his steeds. every time i'v ebeen in chch in the last few years I've been to busy to hit him up or he's been out of town.

Oh to live in Chch and be able to afford storage for a collection like his!
