Good morning fellow DS3ers
Well it has finally arrived, my sport red DS3 which i got the keys for on Wednesday afternoon.
Very, very impressed with it, scrap that, I LOVE IT.
Couple of gripes when it arrived though.
Loads of swirls on paintwork esp on the roof and about half a dozen bird dropping stains that proved difficult to shift. Looked they had been there for at least a few weeks.
Interior lighting is virtually non existent and no place (hook/handle) to hang my suit jacket in the back. Now going to have to buy a car seat hanger.
I asked the fleet company that my company use to fit a bluetooth hands-free kit for me as standard kit didn't come with one. (No cost to me) When it arrived a Motorola TK30 had been fitted which connects both my work and personal phones simultaneously and I can also connect my Ipod to a connecting wire in the glovebox which charges it and titles/artists can be viewed and controlled on the display. Great piece of kit and anyone in the market for something similar, I cannot recommend this highly enough.
I swapped over the front and rear indicator bulbs to give it a cleaner look at the front end, added the Citroën dust valves, put in 8 led bulbs in sidelights, number plate, interior foot mood lighting and interior bulb.
Suppose you want to see some pictures so before I add them, a brief summary of the BIG first detail.
