I thought it was a nice deep forest green, so imagine my suprise when we rounded the corner of the sellers road and I said "Right, keep an eye out for a green B-OHGODMYEYESIMBLIND!!!" as the traffic-lights-on-lsd-green beast appeared. :D
Is that what I told you Rich....? :oops:

I was only passing on info from PTS - but it certainly stands out eh! :D

Rich

Think it's Bora Bora Green like my old Xsara VTS was, and certain late french hot hatches. Just looks really bright on a much larger body shell!

Yes, it's Bora Bora Green, a proper PSA colour. I've seen it on Xsara Picasso's and the odd Saxo, but the amount of flat metal on the BX really makes it stand out. People were literally stopping and staring when I drove by for the first couple of weeks :)
The shuts are sprayed in, but the engine bay isnt. I hope PTS didnt use his reglar bodyshop for this job because the quality if bloody awful - even to my untrained eye there are pinholes, dust specs and flat patches, and a lot of the plastic is peeling. Early in its life I gave it a jetwash, and blasted some of the paint off the wheelarch :shock:

I've got a pic or two on my website, but I cant remember the exact address and being at work, I can't ftp in and find where I stored them.
