These are the best XM wheel trims, they look superb.

Re: Wanted: Series 1 alloy 'hubcap'
As wheeltrims go, I very much like them too; ONLY Citroen would design such a thing!
They're great for cleaning but do scuff quite easily. On balance they're every bit as
good to look at as the wobbly web and 24v flatter alloy designs. Still prefer the genuine
Citroen accessory 5 spoke alloys of the wheel options! And the bobbly Minilites are just
naff being far too fussy and a bitch to get/keep clean!

Another thing, why did Citroen use nicely polished/chromed bolts for the series 2 steel wheels & trims, and crappy steel bolts that rust for the alloys!

Hi Paul,
I could be doing with two Mk 2 hub caps and four long chrome bolts if you have any spare, One garage man swapped me four long bolts for shorties and I don't like them, I damaged the hubs myself!
Tell me the full costs if they are available.

Re: Wanted: Series 1 alloy 'hubcap'
Hub caps no problem, by long bolts do you mean the Bolts HEAD were the brace goes on, or the threaded part?
Im sure you probably mean the bolt head..
Ill get it together tonight for you!

Yes Paul. I meant long bolt heads, some times have bother catching them with the Cit brace, okay with the socket though.
Thanks.
Bob

Hi Dean, if you have any kicking about - and of course the same goes for anyone else - I'll pay good money for any half decent condition ones! All mine are scuffed to buggery, alas, as most of these poor things are!Dean wrote:i did have a set and im not laughing they are great trims, i think they are b etter than any alloy but i may have (like a prat) binned them..............i will have a look, do they need to be A1 TE??
