Update that I forgot to post before i went to ModNats ( Modified Nationals ) for the weekend. Finally had my wheels sorted-ish.
Disassembled, Centres powder coated in Citroen Carmen Red, Outer dishes polished, Inner barrels painted black and 3-piece build up using new gold bolts and new silver nuts.
Shame the wider Schmidt Radinox dishes that I had for the fronts had to get nicked as the front should be poking like the rear
Were the fronts nicked when the car was stolen Zack ? Guess the thieving bastards had already off loaded those ?
The wheels themselves were locked away safe (Thank god) but the weekend it had got nicked I was in the process of moving into my own flat so had alot of items still in the car. Including 2 new outer Radinox dishes forthe 2 front wheels - would have made them wider with a deeper dish. Even though they were £250 / dish They were probably either binned or weighed in for scrap to fund the thieves drugs habit...

Currently at a crossroads with the DS. Tried selling a few months back, had plenty of offers but they were all car plus cash offers - of which I didn't fancy any of the cars a great deal...
Not sure whether to plough more money into it, try and re-kindle my love aswell as enjoying the cheap running costs etc or get rid for cheap and go for the Merc V8 beast I've been fancying for a while.
I keep looking at cheap V8 Mercs but I don't know anything about mechanics for when they inevitably go wrong...

ZACK, just read through this whole thread and it's a shame you're getting rid of your ds3 having spent so much time and money on it! Noticed throughout that a few people asked about the performance gains from the hybrid turbo you had fitted, but couldn't find an answer. I've got a 110hdi, and am seriously considering a hybrid turbo. What were the performance gains, were any other modifications required, and (if you don't mind me asking) what sort of cost are we looking at? Cheers
