That makes those trims almost identical to those that appeared on one of the other XM development models.
I rather like that improvement to the looks of the production ones.
Yes John I guess that was my thinking and many thanks!! Regards, Matthew T.

The plain ones remind me of the Cx Pallas trims but without a centre detail. It looks quite good. Maybe a simple ring in the middle might work too.
I quite like the simple line through the centre as well...

I still like the originals though. :)

Or a simple ring not quite in the middle might give a whole new meaning to Wobbly Wheels.
Maybe not such a good idea, on second thoughts. :?

Do like those plain disk ideas, though. Very futuristic.

How about a hybrid of the V6 alloys and the simple disc idea with a groove.

Yes I quite like your idea Russ and I think you might have done something clever with Photoshop! My efforts were a simple cut and paste exercise - literally! Regards, Matthew T.

Yup. Photoshop.

I love the brown. It could be this actual car, but there is one this colour in the Conservatoire.
