Totally badgetastic boys'n gals

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

In case you weren't sure what it is, a few additional badges are there to tell you it's an Xm...

well, another s2 with a chunky price on ebay:

and it isn't WHM!! To be fair it looks very nice as I love these dark Xm colours although it
desperately needs decluttering on the eyes somewhat! :roll: Is this another leaky LHM car
that's deliberately parked on the grass too?

What sort of mind could be behind such a thing? It makes me feel a bit sick...

An idle mind or certainly someone with too much spare time on their hands. I'd suggest the ONE top pinstripe coachline too
as the lower one loses the plot towards the front and lacks commitment! :lol:

In fact on a few of mine there's been one single coachline on the car when I bought it and I rather like the way it sets the car
off and emphasises the waist swage line on a darker colour.

A happy 10 minutes could restore order to the otherwise smart svelte appearance although I'd worry about paint fading and
differences in the appearance after these stick ons are removed. If the badges are removed before the sale would that
allow a bit of a discount... :lol:

Yes, very easy to resolve a few extra badges and pinstriping :)

I thought that looked like a very tidy Xm, although its not really low mileage and that price tag is hefty.

Looks like a dealer though so i doubt they will see a sale from that.

I actually dont like black Xms, i dont think they suit black at all, so that does very little for me. Actually i dont like many black cars.

I really like the red TCT WHM currently has for sale, dont see many in that colour and with the wheels it looks really very nice. But a steep price tag for a 110K plus TCT Auto.

Good luck to them though :)

:oops: Do you know, I didn't read it was black! I thought it was the dark navy or charcoal like several of mine.
I agree black really isn't the best colour BUT saying that I think a dark colour does sit on an Xm well!

My main gripe with black cars, well there is a few things i dont like about them. However, black tends to hide some style and some of the lines on a car, which is great for a really ugly car, many spring to mind, but the Xm is not one of them cars which needs to or should have its style or lines coverd up. I think it looks great in most colours other than black though.

My absolute favourite colour for an Xm is the lightish blue on S2 cars, i think its called Admiral blue or something? It was available on Xantias too, but you dont often see it on either cars.
