WANTED - a bit of plastic from under the car

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

WANTED - a bit of plastic from under the car

Post by messerschmitt owner » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:01 am

There's a panel which covers the hydraulic pipes down the passenger side of the XM estate and it's cracked. When I went through a deep puddle it pulled it down at the front and split it. So, I'd like to replace the entire panel which goes from the passenger footwell to half way down the car on the nearside.

Does anyone have one - or is in a position to remove it from a car?

Hi

Items (3 in all I think) were no longer available when I tried to buy a new set about 5 years ago.
Do not refit any parts you gets unless the front section is fitted and in good order.
Otherwise it will act as a water scoop and tear back off.
Being just ABS the front section is prone to breakage if hit by ground projections or big stones.
Seems to happen to quite a few.
Been meaning to make up a protective cover in Al or thin steel, just not got round to it.

the front section is already snapped and it was a puddle near Broadclyst that did it in. I may go with the suggestion of an ali cover plate.
