Re: Cheap set of XM morettes in france
I agree with Dean, Morettes are infact brilliant.
Wouldn't the world be a boring place if we all had the same thing...
Although I think it's worth saying that they need to be on the "right" car...
They look fab on Dean's XM, but I've seen pics where they don't look quite "right" on others...
I plan for a set to be adorning my Prestige in the future...

Re: Cheap set of XM morettes in france
I dont think they look too good on mk2's, the grill is all wrong and the wing mirrors too small to ballance out the look, when you get your prestige done and me mine we will have to bring them together for a photo or two.

Re: Cheap set of XM morettes in france
Indeed they're both K Reg 2.0i Autos, and I seem to remember the RPs being fairly close-ish so would be good get them together...!
Other things are getting in the way of the Prestige ATM, but will be good to get it done.
Hey ho, I might hate the look of it when the bodykit's on and take it off...! Don't know until I see it though...
With the right choice of wheels combined with morettes it should work well, I hope...
Only one way to find out...

Just had a look...
Your RP is 5678 and mine is 5694 so quite close...! 26 May 1992 and 11 June 1992.

Most probably...!
I'd have to double check but there's a 'Crayford' sticker on the back of it which is Crayford Motors, Dartford...

Re: Cheap set of XM morettes in france
LOL mine was sold the opposite side of London at Broads of Watford so not that far apart, the owner lived in Christchurch with it until i bought it about 10 years ago from a dealer he had part exchanged it with up the road in Ringwood.

Now, if someone could just find a way to tailor-in some BX headlight units, which are optically superb, even with their single H4.
