I need a little help... Can anyone with a Xantia take a pic and measure the Total boot window sticker the cars came with for me.
I have had an inquirey today for some and as I haven't done any yet, this is a great opportunity to do some. I have been meaning to do these for ages.

Many thanks :)

Depends which one you want:-
On the NSR - 1150mm x 480mm

OSR - 1000mm x 450mm

It's possible that they are both the same size as they are both original stickers (obviously from the state of them) and look as though they are inverted.

Interesting. They are slightly different, the upper one has more rounded chevrons.
I wonder if the sharper one is the original design, for early cars, the more rounded one a later design for later cars.

The normal mounting place is OSR.

Neil you star. :D many thanks.

They really are quite different. The lower sticker is closer to the Xm one, but the top version is quite different.
I think the sharper one is the early versions and the rounder version for mk2 cars. The C5 one is quite similar.

I will be making mine internal rather than external window stickers. They just won't last being exterior stickers.

There is a S1 I know of. I'll see if I can get a pic.

I have been trying to remember which sticker(s) were on my 1997 Xantia exclusive. My feeling is that it had both "positive" and "negative" Total stickers, and the " Xantia air conditioned luxury" sticker across the top of the window.

I will look at Xantia around here and see what they have, I saw a mk2 today with the "negative" sticker on the right side, but could not see what was on the left.

Thanks Mike. The Xantia I keep seeing about, including one today infact, don't have anything at all. So it seems it's quite a find to see a Xantia with boot stickers still.

I saw 3 this morning: an early car with chevrons on the bonnet, a slightly later car (pre airbag), and a mk2. All had the "positive" sticker on the rhs. The "negative" sticker might be uk -only, perhaps getting double sponsorship from Total?

I took photos of a couple if you want them.

That would be great Mike if you don't mind. :)


I will do some more research at the national. You might be right about UK and French cars being different.

My Activa still has the stickers on it. I'll get you a picture tomorrow, Russ.
