I have a C5 estate, the Citroen sign on the back door is spelled CITREON.
Now this suggests that its had the back door stoved in sometime & been
replaced by a dixlexic fitter, BUT, if the new door was pre-drilled to
accept the letters, how come it's spelt wrong ? Any Ideas ? Ray

Are you SURE the door is drilled? I thought the letters were only stuck on

You can heat the letters with a hairdryer and move them about. I've seen
some funny words before.

Dunno about the C5, but that's certainly normal.

Holes = Exposed edges for paint to chip and rust to start.

Why is dyslexic such a hard word to spell ?

Cheers guys,.. Pre-drilled doors ? Does that say something about my age
bracket ? He He. I may just keep it that way. Now what sort of anagram comes
out of Citroen ?  Any ideas ? Cheers. Ray

There is a firm on ebay auctions that are selling a range of Citroen badges
including the one you are after.
