Ahh, in that case. not available as a separate part then unless one of the polybush companies have made something suitable or are prepared to..

Last time I spoke to one of the well-known suppliers of such items they were totally uninterested...

Might have to end up making one out of a suitable material as I have with ram bushes in the past...

Unless a 1.9TD one will fit and they are/were available as I have one...

Can you get the dimensions and I can then check...

Good bodge on the door trim :evil:

I have a few hog rings (that I got from Citroen to fix a door trim in place) that were for an S2 Xantia (stock code 8565 35, IIRC), if a few of those would help. However, they are also readily available on e-bay.

I agree, I think glossy contrasting side strips look absolutely gorgeous 8-)

If you have the mount off by Friday I could bring a 1.9TD bush down with me and then we can properly compare the two and see if it'll fit the V6...

Well I now have a solution for adding additional cold air cooling for my brakes...............

A set of "micro" fog lamps will be added in the corners of the lower grill

After a mix up with a set (size) of Brembo grooved disks I have been looking at the advantages of solid vented disks but with additional cold air cooling. I have concluded there is a larger advantage with a good flow of additional air over no air but groves/drilled. I will thus try this method before adding grooved disks and see how it goes.

Yeah .. they look like a set for early S1s to me. Both my S1s already have foglamps so i didnt really need this pair, Sticky obviously did cos he bid right up to the auction end time [emoji14]

2 second snipe mate.............:)

As said, it is a solution to cooling.

I also had never seen these before, they will make the modification look very standard when painted to match the bumper hence me being keen.
