Those nuts look nice and shiny Mark. Suit the car well.
Ive never seen mk2 wind deflectors either!
Mega rare!
Also I think this car might hold a new record for number of OEM accessories now?

Your thinking of the other one.
This one doesn't even have 79-83 electric mirrors.

I thought this one had a Louvre, Snowcap, Spoiler, Hella grille, Gauges, Deflectors and stuff?
Or maybe Ive just gotten confused.

Nice one Mark!
I do have a set of those leccy mirrors, but they're for a LHD car I'm afraid ...
Is it that rubber damper thingy? Try a search on that - AFAIK the ones from a Citroen BX are a direct replacement.
Cheers
Tom

I think it's something to do with the angles they move through.
I've got a RHD pair, but they are safe in Glasgow

You go for shiny bling. I go for matt black bling. That's the difference.
