Do you want a car that shouts "I'm a boy racer"?

Not Thinking boy raceer but the car is just missing that something to make it stand out
Maybe just a nice spoiler and a set of 17" alloys as the 15" ones look like go-kart wheels

As long as its tasteful and subtle, the Citroen one probably is both. Aftermarket kits are rarely tasteful or subtle, they're mostly aimed at boy racers (young lads) with more money than sense.
Does Citroen do any 17" alloys? I know they do some 16"s which look subtle.

I'd like to know where these boy racers get all this money from to do up their cars, as its obvious they have little intelligence and therefore cant be earning much [:(!]

The new alloys from the C4 are very beautifull, especially with the center saying citroën in a circular fashion and the chevron logo[;)]

The Xsara Picasso has some quite nice lattice alloys too but I think they might not be big enough for a C5.

Hey I don't yet buy insurance, have a good job & could be classed as a 'boy-racer', but I'm always skint

Can't see a bodykit or expensive wheels while you're driving it - so why pay to entertain others?

Yes - I suppose it is - I always used to laugh at people who bought MG Midgets and MGB GT's - I could see some point in a MGB Roadster as you could enjoy open air motoring if you weren't in a hurry. The other wonderful machine was the 1300 Capri. I've been told on many occasions how some bloke's got this super job and gets a Capri with it - only to have to supress laughter when it turns out to be a 1300.

Thats what is called a "hairdressers car"...

True - now applied to BMW sports in its lesser forms!
