Citroen C2

[C2james]

Hey, this is my 2006 citroen C2, it's my first car as I'm only 18, a lot of you guys have probably never seen it as I've only been to two Sunday services, I have got a longlife catback, GSR induction kit and koni springs on the car.


























Sorry about the quality of some of the photos as all of them were done on my iPhone.

Like the C2's well I would say that as I have one myself (not sure about the rear spoiler though)

nice car, i think ditch the spoiler too

yeah the previous owner put that on but drilled through the bootlid to fit it so i dont want to take it off yet because i will have two holes in my car and than water will come in, but i might get it off for december/january time.

Saw you on the Convoy to Silverstone I was in the Hideously Gold Astra Bertone coupe

what power did it make on the rollers ?

Great little car

oh yeah i remeber seeing you at beaconsfield, at the rolling road it made 67hp but i have a different induction kit on from then (still same make) so could be producing about 68/69hp at the moment which isnt a very big gain but i will take all the power i can get in a 1.1.

It's perfectly fine for the first car. Looks decent too.

st when other peeps tart it up with undeeded clutter though.

yeah, when i first got the car i didnt mind the spoiler but have grown to dislike it a bit now.

Nice set of alloys ( stock ones off a higher spec C2) would finish it off perfectly.

I agree a set of VTS wheels would look great on it (another biased quote)

yeah, im either going to go for a set of vts/loeb alloys or some after market wheels for a similar price.

What is it like on fuel? mine is awesome

its quite good, going down the motorway at just over 70 it does about 40mpg but you have to be careful as on the motorway you have to put your foot down a lot so it can drop a decent amunt, normal daily driving it does a bit less as you have to put your foot down every now and then because its not that powerful but is quite good.

I get about 30 around town but on a run have got over 50 before

yeah the trouble is with a 1.1 you have to put your foot down for a little while to actually overtake anything, so i could probably get around 50 but would have to cruise in the slow lane for a bit.

Looking at other peoples cars I thought I'd put a little update on, had my car at the Surrey rolling road recently and I'm pleased with the results.

A couple more pictures of my car, I've removed the standard dampers and bought a pair of C2 vts dampers which have made it better handling, and were very cheap.

Right a small update seeing as I haven't been very good with this. I've done several thousand more miles in the car including lots to goodwood which I treat as my second home now (I'm sure lord march doesn't mind)

I've got a few more pictures of the car:



After a nice wash




And this is one of my favourite pictures of my car on a Hindhead tunnel run which was very cool except when the TVRs nearly destroyed my ear drums! this photo is thanks to mr Waugh.



And as some of you guys may of noticed, if you didn't see the bad parking thread, is that the spoiler is now gone forever. I have a new vts one to put on but I have been waiting since march just for a pair of screws for the bloody thing! If I don't see them soon, some frenchys (probably the right term) will die.

Wasn't that after a recent Sunday Service? Then Tom took a picture of your perfect parking.

Isn't that Johnny5 MX-5 next to Tom's Pug?

Your C2 looks great!

yes, that was after the BMW sunday service, and yes that is jonnys mx5 next to toms 207. this was actually before we left and tom caught my bad parking.

Nice isn't it.



James, what are you doing about wheels/trims? I'm 100% sure there are some other type of trim that looks cooler..

im not sure yet, im not sure how long im keeping the car for but i am looking at a nice set of team dynamics 1.2 or standard loeb wheels, but they are very hard to get.

[C2james]

Here's a couple of photos from when I went to watch a bit of revival testing, I'll upload some tomorrow of what it looks like with the proper spoiler, its done nearly 26,000 miles and is still going fine after I had to replace a wheel bearing and a new truss rod end.





It didn't look too bad for a 35 mile blast down to goodwood.

JonnyFive said:

Truss rod end?

Not sure, I'm pretty sure that's what they said. Hopefully I'm not confusing it with a guitars truss rod.

JonnyFive said:

Track Rod End

Get that spoiler on there, and some nice wheels.. Even VTR/S wheels.

I was just about to say track rod end. I would like to find some nice alloys. The spoiler is already on but these are from late last year.

[C2james]

Just a crappy iPhone image of the rear spoiler and a nice little present someone left me along the whole length of the car.

Sorry to see about the keying, absolute scumbags.

I like a nice c2, was debating them for my second car but got the Vauxhall bug.

What's the story with the plate (may have been mentioned - only skimmed over the replies at work) - it must be worth a decent amount?

Well the plate was my parents that they gave to me, it stands for David and Denise Dixon (my parents) and their birthdays were on the 7th and 10th hence 17, coincidentally I was born on the 17th.

I'm not 100% sure on the price but DDD14 is for sale at £700, DDD18 was up for £7000 and a few different people have told me it wouldn't surprise them if my plate sold for £10,000-£20,000 so I'm not really sure of its value.

I've just bought some new pagid discs and ebc greenstuff pads, will post pictures when I get them. Next thing on order will be some toyo tyres.

wackojacko said:

Does it feel under braked ? I'd just buy an upgrade car mate.

Green stuffs I found arn't very good, However yellow stuff are a good pad for the money.

Well they need to be changed anyway as they are a bit worn out and my mum said she would pay so I thought I'd chuck on some slightly better pads. I'm not doing anything else to the car until its gone next year.

[C2james]

wackojacko said:

O right, not upgrading until next year then ?

Yes mate, sadly I'm not in a position to upgrade right now but will be next year so will get a Clio 182 trophy/197 R27.
