She look's nice! a bet you just washed her before taking that shot?

I had a black 216GSI for over ten years. Didn't realise what a good car I had until I got rid! :sad

Still looking sharp Carl! The body on this was amazing underneath, probably the best I've ever seen for the age. Hope you keep it this time :clapping

The discs have cleaned up already stopping power is so much better now

also Citroen Xsara Washer jets added but hose split so had to order new some new hose so don't have any washer jets atm :rolleyes

old K&N was abit past it and was bolted straight to the TB so not good due to heat stroke

so ordered a new air pipe and filter not really happy about the blue but will sort that out in time engine bad needs a full over haul
