blhaacc after seeing this, couldn't avoid spitting in the soup! [xx(]
What have they done to the perfect car?! They must have confounded the Xantia with a Honda Civic or a series 3 BMW... [V]
Then again, it's a miserable job - can't see any painted flames neither a naked women with a serpent... [}:)]

So i wont post pictures of my xantia buffalow when i've finished it then (i'm retrimming my intereior to that of one of the citroen prototypes). Considering other cars that boy racers reck thats not that bad the bodykit has at least been fitted well and the re-rtim looks like its been done very well (dont get me started on the colours (yuck)).
oh god i just spotted the spoiler! why not just transfer the phase 1 activa front bumper and spoiler its still sporty (and detracts from the bloated look of the phase 2) and really suits the car!

Why?
Its much cheaper to buy a HondMazdaSubaruEscortCorsa - and they look so godaweful to start with that there is at least some excuse for butchering the (rusting) bodywork.

About two hundred quid:
some old blue curtains
4 tins of P38
a can of old english white (for the dash)
a litre of paint and a toothbrush to flick it on with.
probably an afternoons work as well, with the help of some opiates.

If I didn’t recognise the body shape I’d of sworn someone hand spend a lot of time and money making a Ford Sierra look like a Xant. [:D]
Nice railing behind though !! [;)][:o)]

Each to his own.........its had the desired effect, anyway, its attracted attention, and the interior does look nicely retrimmed.

The irony about all those wings and splitters is that they are likely to produce more lift than downforce and increase drag by massive amounts. Not that they do these things for aero reasons but that is why proper race cars have them.
