Citroen XM Forum

Guess I'll start a photo thread

It's mardi gras time here in New Orleans and the empty lots in my neighborhood are filled with floats.

Well I thought this thread would get more attention! Usually people love posting pics of their cars. Anyways here's my XM next to an iconic restaurant.

Perhaps it's because pictures of cars do tend to look better when it's neither raining, or hailing. Wait until August 5th and 12th, I've heard the sun might actually come out...

Just as a recommendation, paint the upright glazing bars in primer then satin black for the full "band of glass" look.

What are all the stickers on the window?

Which red is your car @bump_drft ?

That is Mandarin Nacre pearlescent. Code EJV.
Doom Maroon on dull days, but a lovely, iridescent red on sunny ones.

Thanks Will, I couldn't see any sparkle in the pics, and phone screens can't be relied upon for colour accuracy - it looks almost like Delage Rouge on my phone

The stickers are all just places I've been--that car has been clear across the country, and well up the west coast and back! Buc-Ees in Texas, Radwood stickers from Austin, LA and San Jose, one from Flagstaff, AZ, a few from New Orleans (there's a Citroen-themed coffee shop here). It's getting a little crowded there so I might thin the herd a bit...

Not often you see two Xm together unless an organised gathering.

Ha! I've been looking for one of those new XMs to park next to for a while now
