Hate to say it, but it looks like you took those photos with the lens macro mode accidentally enabled on the camera....(yep, been there, done that...

)

Regards,
Simon

Not too bad, panels are in very good nick for an R plate

I have a V plate 99 reg version that has just got 3 exclusive alloys fitted and waiting for a 4th now once i sort it with Bernie(thanks again bernie

) and then i will maybe look at sorting the panels out but its in a very dark grey that i dont really like so may keep my eyes out for an SX or VSX 1.9td v plate or a smidge earlier if i can to have a superb nick car

Looks all good now and the trims are good, they come from a picasso or C4 right??

And in case anyone forgot what the dash looks like on a Xantia, here's mine, now with 4030 Radio and Activa wood trim which has perked it up better than i imagined.

Just waiting to see what other Citroen wheels are compatible, fancy some multi-spoke but not too complex, bland wheels dont really suit it and i've never liked wheel trims.

The above picture reminds me; I much prefer my old Xantia steering electrics to the C5 stalks for all the audio. If they changed it because of H&S considerations then all I can say is, "I never got my arm caught thru the gaps in the wheel whilst turning". Will never understand why they changed it.

Why is one of the switches on the right upside down?

Now corrected about 30 mins after that pic was taken, i had just installed the wood trim and the switch blank had been put in wrong by a previous owner.
