Citroen XM Forum

I know that you all thought the day would never come but.........I am now the very proud owner of a XM

Proper pictures to follow but it is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171573893073

Bought for £800.

Now sorting out the insurance and the tax

Lots of bits needed. List to be published shortly.

Yaaaayyy. NICE One Rob.... Look forward to seeing YOU and the XM in the near future...

If theres anything you want, you know who to ask..

I never doubted, lovely looking car, I will look forward to seeing the pictures!

Thank you my good man. In fact you are at the very top of my people to be nice to list!

I need some odds and sods for the interior of the car.

List to follow in the next couple of days.

Overall she is a great, original car. Came back up the M5/M4 at a rock solid 80-90

Needs a bit of cosmetic tidying and the rear O/S window sorting (currently stuck slightly open with no guide pin )

Check out the RP date: 12 April 1990 vs date of registration 2 August 1991!

Needs a nice black leather interior to complement the White AND Later SEi/24v Alloys that are fitted..

The interior is immaculate. All the seat adjusters and switches work as intended.
The parcel shelf is intact but faded to brown! Not sure if it is possible to recolour something so fluffy and plastic?

Currently tucked up under cover on the drive while I sort out the tax and insurance. Not good timing on a Bank Holiday

The alloys will need some tidying but are at least one colour!

Parcel shelf: they did it with normal acrylic paint in a Wheeler Dealers episode... [emoji2]

I painted my parcel shelf and speaker side bits using "Dupli-color Vinyl & Fabric Coating" - flat black.

Was really easy to do - I first removed the sun blind and vents and then sprayed. Spray really light coats so it doesn't get too thick and make the carpet stick together. I also brushed it with an old nail brush in between each coat - it also helps it not stick together. You can't even tell thats its been painted, has the same texture and is pure black like original. Also don't forget the little strip of carpet in the rear window on the boot panel like I did – I realised a week later that it was there & still blue

I was going to say it must have been an early car, it has a red badge in the steering wheel, the same as my 1st August 1991 registered 2.0Si...in white.

That was an early car with red badge and was dealer showroom stock...

Yours looks in very good condition. White XM look fantastic and due to the paint being harder, do last well.

I painted the side trims with Satin Black aerosol. I was going to try fabric dye on the parcelshelf, but my just go back to paint.
