You can see the 20mm spacer in the above picture, it's the shiny section between the disc and dark wheel inner hub.

Try any alloy wheel shop for starters, they will know exactly straight away what you are after. I paid £10 a corner in the past, for a spacer and 4 longer bolts.

This is what I mean, 4 holes are Ford/Citroen and 4 are Vauxhall/VAG etc:

And you'd also need to be carefull on the rolling radius / circumfrence of the tyres that are currently fitted, to ensure that they match the 195/60/14 fitted to the Bx.

Otherwise the speedo will under/over read.

If the TSW's are multifitment, ie 8 bolt holes in the wheel, then you should be able to fit them, watching the offset of the wheel of course.

If they are only 4 hole, then the answer to your original question is no. Citroen is Ford hub arrangement (4 x 108pcd) and Vauxhall is different.

Legendary car with twin cam engine :D Last one I know of sold for £28,000, so that one seems a bit pricey or maybe the other one was undervalued. Another rare car is the RS200, a friend transported one this summer at work with just 160 miles on the clock and that was insured at £180,000 :!: Mike P.

The 1st one (green) could be Dan B guessing by the big gold alloys?

2nd one (white) is on steels? Not sure who's?

Tailgate is plastic and easy to repair. I might have access to rear bumper and some doors for you in the correct colour, will let you know. Front door pillar seams and rear arch to sill are common but easy to clean up, treat and spray. By the looks of it, a good clean and T-Cut/polish will make it l...

Terrible use of a bridge type rear spoiler, hope the rest of the car didn't meet such a terrible fate.

And remember that the Phase 1 is the true performance model of the Bx range and with sleeper appearance can surprise the "what's that, a smokey old diesel" brigade at the traffic lights and on the A roads. We don't need pumped up bumpers and bodykit to show our pedegree (goes and hides now...

Adie, Remember that you have a rare car with pedegree and that it is ~18 years old. There is enough experience and knowledge on this site to help you out with every job and plenty of spare parts around. I'll have to post some pictures of my white Phase 1 to give you some inspiration. A few little jo...

Marco,

Hi and welcome to the club :D

If you need a bumper for a Bx 16 Soupapes Phase 2 then there are people with them. Postage will be awkward to Italy but possible.
