The funny thing is I want Mudflaps too - usually I'd say they look crap but they actually look good on ham's VTS

Yes...take the car back to the dealership! I dont think you should EVER have to live with something you can fix - its Citroen's fault! It may cost you time and is inconveinent to fix, but you'll feel better once it's fixed!

Natty's Blue is amazing - I have a tub in the house..goes on the C4 lovely...a tip though is not to leave it on for too long (I.E split the car into sections and do 1 at a time..) otherwise your arm will kill buffing it off! Hmm smells like bubblegum!

Exactly the same behaviour as my 1.4 engine - I actually stalled mine this morning...I find you need to rev it to get it to move from a standing start, but I'm never keen on reving it as it sound like a screaming banshee, and gives off the impression your a crap driver! :P

Probably! Well good luck in selling the VTS - I'm sure they will be quite a bit of interest. Any chance I could swop you my engine? I'll throw in a paperclip to sweeten the deal? <_<

Agreed - very easy to fit - no longer than 30 minutes.. I'd just been careful when removing the plastic to get at the bolts - the clips are fairly fragile..I managed to break one of then!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say C14VTS ? :( :angry:

Excuse me ? ;) well...ok.... My car looks better than your car !!! :lol: /Runs Away....

lol same here - I work in offices in a former school - I can see my *baby* (ahem) from the 1st floor, and I keep a watchful eye over it ;)

Might be able to get one of these - I believe the Peugeot ones are identical to Citroen ones? Haven't found one of these yet but will keep looking.. How much for these do you reckon? I've seen the thread on here with the pictures of the antenna built into the drivers rear window - I dont have that on my C4, so I'm assuming I have the VAN Bus model...is this going to cause me problems?

Wouldn't take it to the dealer if I was you. My service is due in 3k, and I'm intending to buy geniune Citroen parts, and take it to a garge I know well. Citroen can't touch you if you use geniune parts - you will save a fair chunk on labour costs as well.

The C4 looks alright to me, but I would have thought that they'd have at least put a little more effort in - I.E would have been nice to merge a few of the WRC C4 features into it, for example wider arches.

@ Mike5483 lol yeah - this makes them sooo easy to spot. I actually sit as far back as possible when I drive!

@ Mike Agreed RE: the sidelights - I believe I need '501' sidelight bulbs...will be getting white/blue bulbs for Christmas.. @ Wozza Cheers for the sticky! On a side note, my brother is looking into buying these in bulk and selling them on...please let me know if your interested in a pair and I will see what price I could sort for you!

The waterproof casing was removed, and the bulb holder clip was moved to one side. The old bulb was simply pulled out between finger and thumb, and placed to one side. The new bulb was then placed into the holder, and the holding clip moved back into place. This was quite fidderly, and took several attempts. The clip had a tendency to fall out of place, and needed to be moved past the new thicker wires of the new bulbs. A hole then needed to be cut in the waterproof casing to allow the wires to pass through. A hole slightly bigger than a 10p piece was cut, and the casing was slid over the wires into place. The kit comes with a “seal” on the wires that plugs the hole (allowing the wires through at the same time) and makes for a neat look, along with ensuring no water can enter the light casings. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02793.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02794.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02795.jpg Once both bulbs were installed, it was onto installing the ballasts needed for the initial surge of electricity required to power up the lights. One ballast was provided for each bulb, along with a mounting bracket, and sticky backed foam pads to go between the bracket and ballast to ensure no rattling takes place. The idea location for the ballasts was decided as the front chassis, and the brackets were lined up and holes drilled. I was impressed with the strength and thickness of the metal – it took a bit of muscle and two drill bits to get the holes that were required. The brackets had the foam pads attached, and the ballasts fitted, and then were screwed into position. The brackets come with three attaching points, so they were very securely fitted. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02802.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02801.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02799.jpg Once each ballast was fitted, it was time to plug the lights back in. A small problem encountered here was that the kit provided had red colour plugs for both positive and negative connections, and thus a multimetre was required to figure which was which. The new bulb connections were plugged into the ballasts, which were plugged into the standard connections, and the screws replaced in the lights. The front bumper was then re-installed, although this was slightly fidderly, and definitely a job for two people. The result? http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02829.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02830.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02831.jpg Overall I was extremely impressed with the lights, and no problems have been encountered after installation. The “Guide me Home” function still works perfectly, and the lights power up in milliseconds. They start off with a blue tint, but gradually get whiter as they warm up. Visibility is excellent, and I have noticed people love to stare at the lights now! A short video has been included – see below! http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/th_MOV02827.jpg

Report: Xenon Conversion Kit Fitting Time: 2 Hours Tools: Couple of Screwdrivers and a Drill, nothing more. Difficulty: Relatively painless, although having small hands & fingers is a bonus Overview: The kits arrived Wednesday morning, and my brother wasted no time in fitting his conversion kit to his Seat Ibiza, with impressive results – unfortunately due to the winter darkness my conversion was left to the Thursday morning. Arrived at the parent’s house Thursday morning, and after a quick cup of tea my brother got underway. I have got to give him credit here – I had 3 or 4 layers on and was still freezing, while he worked away with just a jumper and no gloves! The car port gave us a little bit of protection against the rain, but I recommend not doing this job in bad weather! Below is a picture of my lights as standard: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02777.jpg First thing was to inspect the kit – I was impressed with the quality – everything that was required to fit the kit was included, and all parts were solid and well built. All connections had waterproofing as well, although we were aiming to fit the kit in an area where water could not reach it. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02778.jpg It was decided the front bumper needed to be removed, along with the lights, in order to fit the ballasts and install the bulbs easily. This turned out to be a good decision – this would not have been an easy job if the lights had not been removed. The front bumper is “held” onto the car by literally a few popclips and one or two screws. A quick look under the bumper was all that was needed to find the popclips – these came away easily with a little force. The screws were slightly more difficult, as they are hidden away behind the front of each wheel arch. With some force the arch will bend, allowing access to each screw. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02771.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02772.jpg The bumper was then removed, and the lights could be inspected. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02773.jpg There are 2 or 3 screws holding each light cluster onto the car – each screw is easily visible, and once removed, the lights were removed. No problems here, although it’s a good idea to have somebody hold the lights while the screws are being removed, as they could fall out of their holes and break/scratch. The wires into the lights are simply unclipped – a flat head screwdriver comes in handy here. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02774.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02802.jpg Once the front bumper and lights were removed, it was onto the bulbs… http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02791.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02789.jpg The light clusters were inspected, and an annoying feature found. The bulb holders are recessed quite a bit into the cluster, and the “access” point is a round hole that is slightly offset to the holders – this makes it quite fidderly to remove and replace the bulb correctly, particularly if you’ve got large fingers! http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/streettech/DSC02792.jpg

Im at my parents house at the moment - pictures back at my house - will take them into work monday and upload them with a report :( Very very impressed - so much so I pray for darkness when driving ! <_<

I dont neglect mine....I regularly top mine up with Oil from the local chip shop <_<

Yes they do! They are ******* awesome !!!

They are fitted...report coming Monday lunchtime... <_< :(

I know somebody who was "released" from bosch recently - they were given pens to mark various car parts they were producing - it was a procedure to remind yourself that you'd installed various parts to the overall part you were producing. Volvo went happy when they received their shipment of parts and found smilie faces, spider webs etc drawn over them !!! ;)

Possible, but think $$$ Tell the kids to look out of the windows you've already got ! ;)

Why make an exhaust for a hatchback over a coupe first ? Makes no comercial sense! Nice though..I'm planning on getting an exhaust done at ProSpeed in Cardiff...the guy who runs it is a legend. He's seriously talented :P

Oi...nothing wrong with Cardiff :P Mind you...renewed my insurance yesterday and wondered why it was relatively high...checked my postcode and it's rated one of the worse at risk

What....like a 2.0 litre engine? :P
