Hi, looking for set of S1 Italia alloys with the flat pancake hubcaps, to refurbish so as long as straight and no chunks missing! Also looking for N/S rear door rubbing strip, interior door lock knobs (need 3). Thanks.

I'll have a door mould but the alloy strip will need refurbing.

I'm keeping what few S1 door buttons I have.. They are unique to S1 cars. S2 ones are different.

Can't help with the alloys sadly.

Gerry's car is a S2 estate, so black exterior mouldings, S2 interior knobs.
S2 knobs are available new, search for Citroen Beverly. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002037706514.html

Gerry,

You will find the S1, Itallia wheels don't suit the S2 car and in particular the estate, as the centre section is too small and the detail makes the wheel appear too light weight for an estate.

For an S2 I would go for either Monte-carlo's, or Etoile's (wobbly webs), which are the correct alloy for an estate. Etoile's were newly introduced when the estate was launched and were the only alloy wheel available for estates.
They were then fitted to saloons as well, but imho, appear too heavy.

This is just my opinion made from many observations, feel free to disagree.
In my experience when one installs S1 parts onto an S2 car the result isn't harmonious due to the design brief being different. S1 are space-age, S2 are svelt.
You have a nice S2 estate, just make it a very nice S2 estate.

Xm estate on Monte-carlo's.


Xm estate on Etoile's.





Xm saloon on Etoile's.

And here's an S2 with some fitted to it..

Thank you for getting back to me and the offer of the rubbing strip; I was actually asking about that and the lock knobs for my friend Paul who recently joined with his S1 2.1 TD K47 BAN- I’m sure he will be in contact with you shortly! I’ll be helping him refurbish his car as soon as he can pick it up. It does look like a lovely car in a luscious colour. Exciting times ahead!

Oh my k47 ban... Fantastic.

I thought she still had all 4.of them fitted.

There's a few. Post on K Ban on here in the members sections. Including mine when I first rescued her from Seascale.
