Dillo, "Citroenzx" has the newer face-lifted model. (posh git! [:o)] lol) and as for "colour coding" they just didn't bother to mask off all the bits, and had the cheek to charge you MORE for it!! heh heh..[:0] [:I]
Black to black is not the best stuff to use, I got some stuff from a car body shop, it works much better,I dont know whats its called as he put some from a large can into a small bottle for me, but its a gel and blue in colour, you only need a tiny bit on a cloth to get really good results.. I will try to find out whats its called next time I pass that bodyshop..

If it doesn't sreak as much in the rain Im sold!!

dillosk.. As most of the black body parts are matt finish, why not hand paint them in black? the surface is a sort of sandpaper texture, so I'm sure it would look no different, and would not bleed in the rain ever..

im told that you can apply heat to faded black plastic bits to get them back to the original colour which seems like it would probably work
As for content, information about the range, the engines available etc would be a good start

I found this, its full of ZX specs and info, but not sure how we stand as far as copying is concerned? though it does give download links? http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs ... 1=&spare2=
.
more "model specific", and less detailed information here. i.e. what changes were made and when.

That parkers stuff looks great, copying shouldnt be a problem as it is just facts on the cars rather than bits people have made up (ie reviews)

Vanny...The member name links all to to Oscar J Lopez's page

<Cough> no it doesn't <Cough>
not sure how that one slipped past (Actually i know exactly why, i was Lazy Coding[:D])
I'm tempted to do some content, but having just got beaten up a lot on Ebay, im not in the mood now

Yeh we all use the old copy and paste.

You can put some pics of my 16V ZX up if you want. I`ve just cleaned it and taken some on the weekend - its completely standard too:

Also, if you want to add the 16V to the 'range' page, this is a pretty good pic:

Here's some info on my car

Model : 16V
Registered : 1992
Wheels : Standard 16V alloys
Interior : Standard
Exterior : Standard
Engine : 1998cc All-iron 16v
Power : 155 bhp
Modifications : None
Suspension : Standard
Colour : Gun-metal grey
Other Info :
I've been on the lookout for a 16V ZX for quite a while. With all the grunt of the 306 GTi-6, (without the 6 speed box), the same chassis and running gear, and being slightly lighter, the 16 valver is one of the most underated 90's hot hatches.
These cars are pretty rare to start with, but to find a gun-metal grey one is near-impossible! Most were either red, white or green.
The drive is excellent. The ZX has been commended for its all round ability on launch, with its pert and composed handling. Citroen have made this even better by lowering and stiffening the suspension to create something I can only describe as a kart for the road!
The engine pulls very well from low revs, but comes alive after 3500 rpm, and the generous torque continues to the red line.
If you can afford the petrol/insurance etc. then go out and find one - you wont be disappointed!
