Right under Dean's feet too.

Looks godawful to me though!

Tried posting this earlier but got a database error....

It says in the listing, something along the lines of "Has had full suspension system rebuilt or replaced", I can't remember without reading it all again.

If it includes both Activa rams in that recently then it's worth £300 of anybodys money.

I've asked him the other day if it's had them replaced.

Its not that bad! Not many Xantia kits were available and it looks to have been done to a reasonable standard. I guess some people dont like anything different from the norm.

I don't think that looks too bad, I'm not keen on the wheels but the rest doesn't look too bad.

I couldn't live with the gratuitous colour coding inside even if the skirts and
wheels are considered the restrained side or lairy!

The lower apron's shapes bear no semblance of continuity, style or sympathy
with the clean, rounded yet sharp and angular original body style!

If you look at XM listings on eBay in price order starting at the most expensive then out of the first 300 items 295 are for wheels.

We'd expect a shape like that from british layland or Rover if you wish, but from Citroen, look atthe past larger cars... :lol: :lol:
