      Just a remap and intake. Put down 188kw at the wheels. Quick but too competent. I like being able to pick a car up by the scruff of the neck and feel what it is doing.

      I'll get some more pics up soon!

          500 BHP = 372.84 kW

              Hi AussieDS3, Im up in the Byron area and have just bought a Sport turbo 1.6 for my wife, 2013/MY 2012. Its finished in white with a black roof and black/white leather trim which looks great. It has about 15K on the clock and I,m still getting familiar with owning a French car again. The car still has about 2 years of warranty and so far it had a small oil leak around a sensor in the engine block which was resealed and Im monitoring any further issues. I have found second gear a little temperamental and can drop out if it is not selected properly. I enjoy the open road cruise in 6th as it has high gearing and its balance and turn in is pretty good, but most of all it,s a great looking car. Let me know if you experience any problems. I would like to get an alloy plate for the left foot rest to protect carpet wear but the backing feels a bit flimsy and Im not sure if screws would secure one. Cheers. I will try to post some photos of my/our car shortly.

                Welcome to the club

                If you get the Citroen alloy footrest, it will just screw into the carpet with the provided self tapping screws.
