Cheers but its fine, you cant see it , the plate is more a strengthener for the back box mounting which snapped off and took the area behind it with it by the looks of it. Its sealed up as well and undersealed on the outside.

Alright mate, but the offer's there. Don't forget how G-SEG fared with similar issues :(

True, It does get washed sometimes, but it lives in a very dry lock up, under a fitted car cover.

Read the article last night, it's good. The only thing I could really pick at (other than what you mentioned) them saying the brakes were conventional. Yeah, because fully-powered brakes are completely conventional! Every car has them! :roll: :lol:

Then I fell in love with the Stiletto on p.48 =P~

You wanna get out there Tim, ignore the rain. It's a car, it's meant to be driven and used. It's not like it'll rus............oh, nevermind! :lol:

I had a look at the article today Tim; it looks fabulous! I think we can safely say that the BX has finally arrived. I hope we now see further articles featuring the BX. A late80s/early90s diesels group test would be a good start (which the BX would clearly win :) ).

Can you not buy the magazine as a download?

If not I am sure someone will post you a copy.
