I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

Looking bloody gorgeous. I saw this car in person yesterday and 'in the metal' it looks bloody awesome. Alasdair, she's a credit to you

Those are all late lenses except for the top left, which is an early one. I am not sure whether the early reflectors are different, I have fitted a late lens to an early reflector and the pattern seemed OK.

Well that's a Job for tomorrow then.....thanks you for spotting it. I will look at the reflectors when I do it.

Do you know if the lens can be removed without removing the shell ?

Thanks for the comments Jim

Probably not a good idea. It is important that the seal sits properly for waterproofing.

[Stickyfinger]

easy, it sits in a channel. Will try tomorrow as it is in the garage ready for a good waxing tomorrow.

Why bother with all that bonnet lifting and putting in props to keep it up.....no? .....ask a Range Rover for help

[CitroJim]

Excellent A lovely result... Just the job for Chavfest... Sorry, FCS...

[Stickyfinger]

Sod the FCS Jim, no more bumping my head with the almost vertical lift

Yes, that’s true

I'm keen to do this mod on my own Activa now too.. Will be keen to look at yours in a couple of weeks and see exactly how you've done it...

not telling....nanana na na naa

Very useful mod! I never understood why the Xm had it and the Xsara too but not the Xantia.

As both Xm and Xsara were owned by us at the same time I did not think about it when I bought my Xantia V6 Exclusive. It scared me every time I opened the bonnet and got surprised by gravity....

The difficulty is the clearance when laid down between the strut spheres and the wing edge....with a spacer the bonnet brackets from the RR fitted to the Xantia wing (under) allow the ram to lay flat with about 4mm of clearance and still be above the supply pipe. ....it is a tight fit.
I also wanted a near vertical lift on the bonnet and did not want the rams getting in the way of side access hence the rear (of the wing) fitting.

Another Angle that shows it better

Rams on both sides, or just the right hand side? I don't need it myself (as the C5 has the rams), just asking for others thinking of making that mod.

[Stickyfinger]

Both sides

Alasdair, where and how much the bump stops.
