Down to only two ACTIVA now, the red one was trucked away today.

Glad it will live again and has such a good new home.....a true Citroen enthusiast who has the necessary welding skills to make an easy job of it.

That is the easy bit and mostly all the welding that will be needed. C posts at the rear sills/doors and the rear subframe mounts ect ect are all very good and sold.

Out of curiosity where did you get the total sticker for the window? I need take the peeling dealer one off and stick something more appropriate in!

Russ (russ92xmsed) over on club-xm.co.uk does a range of reproduction stickers Stu..

This is his website for the commercial side of his business... Get in touch with him.

He's also at most Citroen rallys.

He also does car posters and here's a few of his standard ones.

Look at the Citroen ones and if you ask him he will do a custom version of the poster featuring your car. He's done posters of all my cars, past and present...

Those are the original badges btw.....I have a set waiting to apply from the source Jim linked to.....he does LHM ones for the engine bay tank as well as TOTAL ones for the bonnet slam panel

He has a photo of the door pillar tyre pressure ones as well.....Waiting for him to produce that.

Highly recommend them as they are the correct size, abrasive resistant and the engine bay ones are LHM/Oil/petrol safe so do not rub off or lift.

I thought I had best give the C5 a little attention (other than hitting it and attacking it with spanners!)

So a wash and polish before sunset

A little bit done this weekend, my back-up set of wheels needed refurbishing anyway so I thought I would do them ready for the new Michelin Pilot HX tyres to be fitted.

I again used black inside and will Silver the out sides (primer for 24hrs).....

The insides can hardly be seen anyway and this way it makes cleaning a lot easier as well as letting the calliper stand out a bit from the shadows

I keep meaning to clean the insides of my wheels too.
Probably never going to happen.

These had 20 years worth on them, it flaked off in large chunks ! :)

Took a fair time filling the kerb rash on the edges with Chemical Metal filler and sanding back......
