My polished Xm
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 5:52 pm
Hi all.
As this is my 1st Xm, Purchased from Phil, who rescued it from Geneva back in March, i have to say i am over the moon with the car.
Prior to me collecting it from him , i had never even sat in one let alone driven one !
, so i didn't know what to expect from the Xm,
Having collected it from him and driven it back to Eastbourne, i must say , what a superb example it is, ( well i think so anyway )!...
It crused on the motorway home, effortlessly,
It only had a short Mot, and after fitting a new track rod end , and steering rack gaitor, it sailed through on Tuesday with no adviseries..
So i thought i would add a few pics of the car now, as it is to date, but do have future plans for it, no many cause i want to keep it as close to origanal as possible, with the exeption of the cd player..
As you can see from the pics, i have resprayed the roof embelishments, what a balls up that was
, Halfords paint didn't quite match 
, so iv'e now got the paint code from the inner wing KKBRSB, phone a few paint matching outlets and am now getting the right colour, so they will be spayed agian
I want to get the front bumper cleaned off and also resprayed , to get rid of those usual scrap marks.
Anyway enough gabbling on.
Just like to thank Phil for saving it from an uncertain future in Geneva, and i'm glad to be the proud owner of it !!
Yes and iv'e got the replacement Turbo ct badges coming, as one fell off, so i decided to remove the other one and see to repairing a small amount of lacquer, that had flaked off around them.
