Well cheating as this is a pic from when I last owned it (sold in March 2010)

It was a 40k mile minter, I'm assured its still mint cosmetically however the engine is ****ed due to first the waterpump failing, then headgasket failing, then all being repaired and still no compression on 1 cylinder so suspect piston ring or something.

However this is not an issue, as the reason I got rid of the car was lack of power.

Call it sacrilege but I will be fitting a 2005 Citroen C4 engine with a few parts off a saxo vts engine whilst still retaining the very close ratio s1 rallye gearbox.

Should have approx 140bhp, lots of torque but still be nice and revvy.

Going to collect car tomorrow (fingers crossed bodywork and chassis is still mint!)

Recently fitted new bumpers to mine, just got the splitter to sort now...I'll fit the new bonnet next week or something.

And then I went to a multi-story but the photos just were not working for me...car was shiny though :p

I know! When I fitted the bumpers the car was dirty except for them...I had 15 mins. Cleaned the car in that time but didn't have time to do the wheels :p

That splitter? :/

And you could have at least move forward a few yards to avoid that potatoes sign lol

Is annihilated :p

Turns out on the old bumper, when I bottomed out in the field, it didn't just break the splitter, but the mount to the rear bumper too...so even where it was attached in the middle it was hanging about an inche or two too low. So it caught EVERYTHING...hence why it's so knackered.

Next month I'll buy a new splitter and get it sprayed up. Be looking much better when done. :)

What field? When did you go off road in it?

Couple of weeks after I got the car I went down to Bens and we went paintballing. Was 4 up in my car and it bottomed out on a field and the splitter took the brunt....queue many cracking noises and us lot wincing in the car :p
