I know I know, its pink and french but after building it up on Sunday and having the last few tweeks done this week I've finally been out in it. Give me another week and she'll have a dyno run to see exactly what she's running but it should be a lively 170 bhp 
You'll be able to insult it as much as you want at our next meet so don't be cruel. Here's some pics...

I pulled the sun roof seal out last night..... Poky Paxo couldn't handle 130, it started falling apart lol.... I got £550 for the Nova This I got cheap, its the only reason I have it!
Bonney66, If you've got a polished/ported throttle body or a set of 14" steels with grippy rubber let me know, otherwise I ok thanks. A pair of seats that were secure might be a start too though. How crap is the build quality??? Everythings just tat, I know French cars aren't good but seriously this is hideously bad lol!!

Lets be honest though, we'd all have the Nova Saloon over the Paxo but to your average everyday gimp the S plate Paxo does look a smidge more up market than a J plated Maroon Saloon.

Dash parts???? Could do with trying a new set of dials as my water temp gauge isn't working. Not sure what it is, i've changed the sensor but that hasn't cured it, it might be the wiring but I haven't a clue where to start on that....
Not really interested in much else but thanks anyway Bonney66.

I would say the interior build quality on Citroens is no worse than on Vauxhalls tbh. I've had both!
Mechanically Citroens are a pile of shite!
I'll let you have a good look at mt pug Ryk. Interior is unmarked and poor thing gets used to shift servers about.

I disagree tbh, the interior is much more basic in a citroen over vauxhall.
I'm not saying vauxhall are far better but everyting on a saxo just clips on, clips break trim hangs off
Suppose it all saves money in manufacturing and makes a difference in weight etc .......

Sorry Andrew I agree with Daz, the interior of the Nova was ten times better quality than the Paxo and it was 5 years older!

You're complaining about the build quaility yet still bought the thing Why worry about what people think of you because you're driving a Nova?
Only thing that puts me off Vauxhall is the interior quaility. It scratches far to easy. Apart from that they are really mint cars.
