Citroen XM Forum

Hi all, Here are some fresh pics of my xm. i've now decided to call her Rene as i have Ernie the Volvo too! lol
I took this for a blast up the motorway to blow some cobwebs out in the early hours of this morning after my night shift and have to say very impressed so stable and smooth over the legal limit!!

Just to note that my wheel trim valve covers are sticking out due to the previous owner having tyres fitted with the long tyre valves.

Enjoy.

Once again very nice clean looking car Simon! Just a couple of small thing I noticed, which are that the wing badges are missing and respraying the metal spars on the doors always makes a big difference (satin black). Hope to see you and the car at a CCC rally sometime, like the National near Peterborough next weekend!! With regards, Matthew T.

thanks matt, ah yes good spot!, there is one missing as that wing got replaced as with the bumper back in 2001 due to a bump the last owner had of which i have all the bills relating to this in the service history. i also have a what looks like a Russian Citroen dealer invoice for some work it had too.

And your right the chrome strips in satin black look very good I've seen them on that white xm that's floating around the internet!

I want the clear side repeater from eBay from Germany which are the same as my amber ones, you may of noticed i've de-locked my front doors but still can gain access via the boot if my blip fails!

I'd love to make the CCC national, as I've been a few times with the bxclub.co.uk and enjoyed it, as always though funds are permitting at the moment due to the light at the end of my debt tunnel is in sight so I'm abit skint for a few months. although I'm hoping to make the cxm gsa rally in little horwood in September?

cheers.

Sorry Simon, I meant the diagonal metal struts between the fixed and opening sections of glass in the doors, from which the paint always wears off. I also plan to be at the CXM/G in September, so hopefully see you there! With regards, Matthew T.
