Part swap and Xantia spot!

Post by MTXM » Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:29 am

I arranged to meet Neil last night in Hull to pass over the headlining brought from France and bizarrely at the carpark was a matching Xantia, identical in everything but colour!! Anyway Neil thinks the replacement part will be useful for his gold XM so that is good news. Regards, Matthew T.

Yeah kept me out way after my bedtime. :lol:

The Xantia was exactly the same as mine bar the colour. It did have a dent on the nsf wing and the chrome trim was tired but generally in good nick.

The headlining will be spot on. Needs a hole cutting for the sunroof and the holes for the drivers and passenger grab handles swapping over, but after it's had a damn good clean that should be it.

Thanks a lot Matthew (oh and that other bloke - the navigator :lol: )

Cheers Neil.... :roll: :twisted: Got wet taking that out for you!. :lol:

Really glad it is what you're after. I was a little concerned it might not be. That's great news it is.
Keep us posted on proceedings. :)

I did try my best to reassure Russ as the headlining was non sunroof and blue!! A little bit of soot clearly has not phased you Neil thankfully! It was too good an opportunity to miss! Regards, Matthew T.
