    If it's a 1.1 do you not mean "Forte" rather than the "Furio" which is the 1.4 version.

    You sure they dont sat Forte on the rear pannels!

    same stlye as the furio writing!

    And they kit will go on with work and cutting, but if it's a furio then the kit will go straight on as one must have come off!

    Find out what car you have first!

    Thats a 1.5D 5 door. Nothing like a furio...

    Like everyone else has said the furio is a 1.4i (I've got one) and it comes with the VT* kit as standard. Even if it had been in a crash surely there would be holes for the arches to clip into? Otherwise it's a 1.1i Forte/Desire.

    If you put your reg plate in here it will show you what model your car is.

    ...just as classy though

    This is confusing me a little.

    Does you car have flat arches like mine or wider arches that feature on the VTR and VTS (and furio)??

    Maybe Ireland have different model names. Like in some european countries the VTS is a 1.4...iirc

    Is it a mk1? Because I know you get mk1 1.4s that come with the 1.1 body.

    If somebodys sold the original kit and replaced them with a 1.1 kit then you've been done. Other wise your wrong and it can't be a furio.

    Get some pictures, it might help.

    Thats 100% a forte. If you want to put VT* rear arches on you will have to make an arch with an angle grinder becasue you have flat arches under your rubstrip. Then you will need a VT* rear bumper to make it all line up. Ohh and the rear arch is part of the side pannel so you will need the front ones too or it will look daft.

    Unless you mean those horrible stick on bits Citroen sell which just look a mess!!!!

    Yes I think thats all you will have to do to make the rear fit.

    You would be best using the clips and bonding it to make sure it stays put. It will take a long time to mark all the new holes needed but it will be worth it incase it slips whilst drying.
