Here"s a perfect way to climb the career ladder! This space-age staircase is built from the rear ends of several C4 Coupés, and is one of eight finalists from Citroen’s C-Design contest to have been made into a fully functioning prototype.

Motorists have been warned not to fit headlight adaptors for driving on the Continent themselves. The advice comes from the AA, and follows an investigation by Auto Express, which revealed more than half of drivers heading for Europe canò€™t mount them properly!
Adaptors have to be fitted to prevent foreign motorists from being dazzled by UK lights, which are designed to ò€˜kick upò€™ to the left to make signs easier to read on British roads. However, when driving on the right, these shine into oncoming driversò€™ eyes.
If you are stopped by European police, you could be fined up to Ò£710 if you donò€™t have the kit, or itò€™s fitted incorrectly. And insurers will only provide third party cover if you donò€™t have them and are involved in an accident. The AAò€™s technical specialist Vanessa Guyll said: ò€œItò€™s too difficult for people to fit adaptors to modern lights. Lamp lenses frequently have no guides, and the bulbs themselves are often not set directly in line with the glass. So if you align the adaptor with the bulb as on the diagram, they will not be in the right place.ò€
She advised holidaymakers to have them fitted at a garage instead: ò€œAn MoT beam tester has to be used to ensure light kick-up is eliminated."
