Hello from a (sort of) new member...

Post by Matt H »

Some of you will already know me from BXClub... but I thought it was time to start posting on here, seeing as it won't be too long before I buy a 16v of my own.

Currently own a slightly modified BX 14TGE... and an AX 1.5d, but am now on the lookout for a nice 16v.

Here's a pic of my BX for anyone who's interested:

As you can see, not a run of the mill BX 14 :lol:

I've also got the rest of the Phase 2 stuff to stick on when I get chance.

Regards,
Matt

Welcome Matt, you sure thats a BX14 looks like a 16V.

The car looks great , why don't just plonk in the engine
from a 16V instead of selling it.

Make sure you keep the 16v replica for parts-that interior is mint!
Would rather be driving ONE 16v,than fixng TWO.

Thanks for the comments, and warm welcome.

Mike - That is a nice 16v, and an interesting one with the 6-speed box on offer... but it is probably too nice for me. I'd feel guilty thrashing such a nice example :lol:

I like the standard 16v alloys, but yes, they have to be tidy... scruffy ones can let good cars down.

the 16v alloys in anthracite with a silver rim in good condition look great like you said but when the laquer goes they start to look bad very quuickly!

the other wheels that look Very good on the bx wiht the 16v bodykit are the 205gti speedlines!
