Michelin Pilot Exalto 205/55 16. Jantes: BBS RC 7 x 16

30 000 km in the Prestige during the last four summers. I have a C4 VTR as well.

Looking forward to see your CX. A CX is never ugly - only more or less interesting. But I hope yours doesn't look like this one: http://cx.zapto.org/albums/album180/Garder001.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/album180/Garder002.sized.jpg I changed the alternator last year as well. Bought a used one from the Norwegian CX Club. I guess it was allready worn out... :( This time i put in a brand new one. In my country - the CT is called EU-kontroll. And my Prestige passed it's test in May this year.

I've been building a shed this summer - which I just discovered creates a nice shade from the sun. http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Kastellet002.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Kastellet004.sized.jpg On a trip to the west coast last weekend (1500 km) I had to change the alternator. Total is now 317 000 km. "barely run in"

Thanx, but I'm shure you'll find something that's not perfect - if you look closely enough. Anyway - I guess it's good enough for me. I will continue to take photos - you bet! In fact I'll die with the camera in hand - and still continue to haunt you with photos of my CX...

I totally agree - but TRX's are impossible to find with Norwegian Michelin dealers (I even spoke to the official Michelin import office...) And if I could find - it would be far too expensice for yesterday's technology. Since you're such a purist... I bet you have TRX on your 604 as well?

Interior materials: Tabac blond velours. Still in good condition despite 315 000 kilometers... http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Velours.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Sieges.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Sieges_Avant.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Sieges_Arriere2.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Sieges_Arriere.sized.jpg

I think that the Alfa wheels you show us looks great! The design - although very caracteristic Alfa Romeo - suits the CX well. Let me see the final result - when the tyres are fitted!

My CX is a 1982 CX Prestige Automatic. It has covered no less than 315 000 km. There has been 2 previous owners. Chassis and bodywork was renovated to my cost last year - which turned out to be quite expensive. Engine and gearbox is completely original and in very good condition. The wheels are Michelin Pilot Exalto 205/55 16 on light wight 7 x 16 BBS RC's - and really has transformed the car into the driving machine it was meant to be from the start. After all: 30 years of research & development has been done since the TRX design was launched... The wheel fit perfectly under the rear wheel arch covers: http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Klaring.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/BBS_RC_004.sized.jpg And I do take pictures with the suspension in normal position as well... http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Prestige_Floe011.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Vestland_juni2006_008.sized.jpg

I'm driving it a lot these days. Several longer runs as well... Bought a set of 16" wheels for serious driving - and to spare the TRX's for special occasions.. http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Prestige_Floe002.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/BBS_RC_001.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/BBS_RC_002.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Vestland_juni2006_000.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Vestland_juni2006_002.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Vestland_juni2006_003.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/Vestland_juni2006_004.sized.jpg

Great pics - as always!

No scratching.

True! It is clearly an afterthought, provided by HELLA (supplier). Tha plastics gets a little "crispy" during cold periods - but else, it's a great "arctic" car! True... '70s Citroëns rusted badly - but so did a lot of the competitors from other countries... Mechanically a '70s CX is superior to a BX - my opinion.. OK I will visit the forum at some point. I surfed by yesterday and checked out the pics of your cars... WOW! Fabaulous!!! Especially the BX GTI... A BX is perfect in the snow.. 1992 115 000 (but the engine has been changed at some point - due to the first owner running it without checking the oil level.) 1.6 petrol - monopoint injection Thanx. The location is at Flö - at the Norwegian west coast (on an island just west of the city of Aalesund) Anyone visiting western Norway should go there.. and take photos of their car of course...

Yes, I totally agree with you. The headlamp washers are not pretty - but they work well on dirty & snowy/salty Norwegian roads during winter time. I don't have to stop to wipe clean the headlamps all the time. These were standard equipment on all BX's sold in Norway - even on the base model BX 14.

"Les laves-phares sont vraiment…." Please explain in english - since altavista's babelfish function doesen't tranlate this really well...

Crazy frog! ...must be Kermit! Basic shape not unlike M35. Clever.

Stunning car! Where did you find it? What did you pay?!

No - I didn't, but now I do! Thanx! See you there.

Especially for you, Houston: http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Felger/Familiale3.jpg

Thanx, Eric! My problem is that my Prestige is having its buty sleep 150 km away from where I live. The snow never seems to melt away this year, I still have 50 cms of snow in my garden i Oslo. So instead of playing around with my Prestige in the real world, I spend my spare time playing around with cars in Photoshop. I have some work to do on the mid part of the frame of my Prestige - since it was damaged during wax-oil treatment last year. A mechanic lifted it completely wrong. Luckily I had my camera with me so I could document the damage and get my compensation: http://cx.zapto.org/albums/album94/IMG_4406.sized.jpg http://cx.zapto.org/albums/album94/IMG_4405.sized.jpg After a couple of days with intense searching I got hold of the last two mid frame parts for Prestige in stock - one from the Norwegian CX Club (http://www.citroencx.no) and one from Citroën Norway. So... First thing to do when I'm back from easter holiday late April... Can't wait to have my Prestige back on the road! Planning to drive to France this summer, so watch out! http://cx.zapto.org/albums/Prestige_lakkering/IMG_4023.sized.jpg (and that was no Photoshop... hehehe)
