Default What year is your C3?

I'm just curious as to the mix of C3 years represented on this forum. So what year is yours?

Sad but true. :(

But when you have those parts that is what sets it apart I guess from all the other 300K C3's. It's expensive but worth it, to me at least. We all have our favorties. :D

Since I could only vote once (78), I could not add the 71 to your result total.
