DS3 changes clothes

Hi...

Seems I'm on a 5 year replacement cycle. Having had the z4 for 5 years it left and was replaced, to the surprise by many on here, by a Citroen DS3. It for me was a step change and actually rather brisk keeping a few on here honest on the few meets I've been on.

5 years further on the DS3 has departed... and been replaced with something a bit quicker and back to 230ish bhp. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Nice, very nice

Have either of you two thought about the Bluetooth exhaust, it is pricey but sounds outrageously good

Exhaust sounds pretty darn good as standard to me

plenty of pops and crackles... not heard the BT one though...

(This site is dangerous

) - How much is pricey

See you bought another car with a dodgy handbrake

Guy at work has one of these, and has the BT exhaust I think.

just a precaution given past experience

I've got the BT exhaust on mine, and it is worth every penny, stealth when needed and all out childish fun when open - so many smiles from it

BTW, you found an easy way to clean the calipers without moving the car? Cannot full clean them without it & drives me up the wall
