Citroen XM Forum

I've changed seat covers to leather/alcantara, also door cards, have fitted pale gray headlining and almost all the roof fittings to gray.
Really happy with the way the interior has lightened up.
There are just 6 niggles that I'd like to get right before I publish photos in all their splendour, they are:-
The front grab handles in light gray (4 pcs) The nearside front door fittings in Hurricane Can anyone help please?

Note to anyone with grab handles.
These apper to be the post 1992, lighter grey, not very early ones.

Seraphi, is it just the front grab handles and shells you are looking for, or front and rear. I'm slightly confused by your request for 4 pieces.

front only = 2x handles, 2 x Shells = 4 pieces?
1 x door handle surround + 1 x Speaker cover = 2 pcs , total 6.
You are quite right about age and colour!
Thanks

I have the handles but they are in a dirty state .. dont know if they will clean up. I was changing my project car to black any grey I had I didn't respect. If dieselman is correct the grey in my 1994 (if its still fitted) should be the correct shade.
I can check Monday as I'll be with the car .. I have loads of the handle surrounds and speaker grills but they are all black. Didnt realise there was a grey sort too

The grab handles only come in two shades of grey, darker shade pre-'92, lighter shade post-'92.
The speaker grilles and interior door handle surrounds are all hurrricane grey, apart from pre-'92, which are black.
It's difficult to see the difference between black and huricane grey, one can only see it with two pieces side by side.

Hi .. I've recovered the front grab handles and backing trim from this 1994 car which is light grey.


The handles will need a clean before fitting ...

I may have the grey grille and surround.

Right.. I've unearthed a collection of handles. And here is difference in attached pics. There is a shame difference but also one has a dint down it while the other is all smooth..

So which do you want the smooth or the one with the lines to match the ones you have?
Strangely, I've also come across a smooth finish handle surround, with the groove in it but only one at the moment, so that means theres 3x designs

I also have a handfull of speaker grills to compare. But I've run out of energy for today..
