  • DS3 at last!!!

    Yes I have finally got my hands on a 2012 DS3 THP 155 Dsport+ in Polar White/Black Roof. I'm loving the drive. Unfortunately for the dealership, they have damaged my car already. They decided to put on "cheap" mudflaps. (why?) on closer inspection today, I noticed they have used self tapper screws directly into the bodywork on the lip of the two front wings and the rear bumper.

    So looks like I will be phoning them tomorrow :mad: I didn't ask for the mudflaps in the first place nor did i give permission to compromise the bodywork or paintwork.

    Apart from that I'm loving the DS3, such a pity to spoil what would have been a nice weekend.

        If it is a used car, this will have done before hand....?

        IMO The mud flaps you are talking about look good.

          Did you take any pictures when you first saw it - ie before they went on ?

          I wouldn't be happy either if a dealer did something I didn't ask for !

            Dealer put them on after I had seen the car. Even if I had (though I didn't) agree to the mud flaps I do not expect some so called technician to drill holes in the body work

            They have comprised the paint and bodywork. Full stop.

                        I really doubt Citroen would put so many screws in to a car, considering the Citroen ones only require 2 self tappers in to actual body work and the rest are plugs.

                            as i said at the start, these were "cheap" mudflaps. I did not say Citroen official ones.
