doesnt have anti roll bars! [:I]

It does have an Anti Roll Bar (ARB) but no Drop Links. ARB goes straight into the wishbone via a bush about midway along it. Only the GTi, TD, Rallye and XS has Drop Links connecting the ARB direct to the strut..
I hate to think what driving a car with no ARB would be like. Hairy I would imagine...

Well colour me surprised... you certainly know yuor 205's matey.! so the fact it has an ARB doesnt make any difference to the parts i need? whether it be bushes or arms?

The cynical answer is to make you buy replacements!
I think the real answer is for convenience of design - the ARB should be firmly mounted to the body and probably fitting it eslewhere so that it could be bolted directly to the track control arm or similar would be difficult.

My mate who bought the BX from AdamSki drove hsi BX for four months without the ARB connected on one end. Oh my god its was unbelievable, it actually pitched and yawed it was scary to follow though hardly noticeable once inside!
It's fixed now though!
