Cool little motor, and with those mods I can imagine its quite nippy.

The stickers look awful though.

Oddly i think the stickers are kinda ok though the R sticker on the back is just stupid. Worst bit is the boost guage it just looks st any time anyone puts one in a car.

The R badge makes me think you really wanted a 911 but had to settle for a porsche as you couldnt afford a 911 kinda thing. Looks needy.

Other than that great little car glad to hear you are enjoying it..

I love the look of these, but yours looks crap, one of the most sharp looking hatchbacks ever, it stands head and shoulders above every other small car for design..........only to have its lines ruined by 50 quids worth of stickers to turn it into a McDonalds car park replica.

all in my opinion of course smile

From that comment I can only assume you're living in sheltered accomodation and often contact your local PCSO because of "all them hoodies" hanging around at the nearest bus shelter.
Well it's what anyone would think if you pulled up next to them at the lights with that boost gauge and the stickers. Tbh I find the boost gauge more annoying than the stickers. If you can't take criticism then don't post!

I think I've been more accomodating to the criticism. I was looking for opinions and that's what I've received. I do however resent being called a chav.

I think what the guy was saying was the stickers scream out chav, even on a brand new ds3. It looks like some dealer special to me however...

Nice car, looks quite nice in the original white. Never done Citroens but these & the C4 3 door look pretty nice. Can the remap be removed temporarily for warranty work.

But sorry the stickers are dire!

The remap can be removed easily yes either via an update from a citroen dealer or overwritten by one of the mapping tools.

I do. The stickers would be bearable if you removed the Citroen/DS-R. smile The boostgauge looks completely out of place on such a nice interior. The neons remind me of some old clapped out Astra.

Remove Citroen/DS3-R stickers and neons. Do a more discrete installation of the boost gauge, maybe you could make it fit in the ash tray so it could be hidden away?

Other than that, sounds like it goes well with 190 bhp. smile

Again, terrible stickers and boost guage on an otherwise decent little hot hatch.

I have the 110BHP diesel version of the DSport and it's a cracking little work hack.

The most I'd do is lower it a few mms and a remap though.

OP, I have AD53 XXX on retention that I am planning on putting on the car at some point, but could be persuaded in parting with it if the price is right. PM me if you're interested. smile

It reminds me of a pair of British Knight (or was it Troop?) trainers I had in the late 80s, early 90s - they were very comfortable though.

ETA: Could have been the SPX ones now I think about it some more.



Each to their own and all that though smile
