Guessing game - please join in!
got a mint set of the green ones in the garage (swapped for some smoked ones to someone), will be bringing them to the Startford meet if your coming?
It DOES have an exhaust gasket, that one you have is a spare. All the nuts and bolts down the back are the correct ones and all fully in (some are even locktited (more fool you ), the only ones that where actively left off are the ones for the intake manifold, and only the big ones! There are two smallish bolts sat on the front subframe (well there where) dropped these so replaced like for like!
If you've found wheel bolts, does that mean you dont need the rest of them back ? Billy kindly lent 6 of them to me to get to france on (only had 10 in total the day before i left )!

I've borrowed the bolts off Ian until he fits tyres to his alloys and them on he car... I'll get some off the scrappy. shouldnt be hard to find.
Gaskets fitted and most of the bolts. 1 bolt and washer missing, 2 nuts and washers missing but can get some from the local shops. need to go to my dads after the scrap yard after work then get my torque wrench and a small plug socket as the one i have is massive, then its fitting of last few bits and sort the fan then running by the wknd i hope! MOT next week with any luck all being well and strut top leak fixing!
I will be ok with the lights thankyou, i'll empty my tool box then pay for a switch or something... lol!
Cheers Vanny

lights
The smoked lights were added to the 16v at the time smoked lights were introduced to the BX range. It was just an across therange facelift sort of thing.
I did write an article about the BX MK2 history for the website but never used it and now don't know where I stored it but I did send Vanny a copy some time ago so he may still have it.

history
Thanks to Vanny I now have recovered my BX history and the smoked rear lights were brought in at the same time the P2 was introduced but this was due to a cosmetic revamping of the BX range which also lead to the introduction of the P2.
