Love the colour! Nice miles too - mine's 200k miles now!

Mine doesn't have that lower front apron spoiler - what's that all about as I've
not seen one on an Xm and I've seen a few!?

Yet another appears out the woodwork!

And my god shes IS nice too!!

I think Id like to make a V6 24v S1 Register, and see how many we have exactly!

Im looking forward to getting mine back on the road end of Febuary! Butit will take me a bit to get mine as clean as that! Its stunning!

Mines a Grey one thank god, Im not a fan of green, my 12v auto S1 is green.. but Im pleased my 24v is grey. It was that or maroon.. and Im not set on maroon either!

Regards
Paul

Paul, you're so fickle with your colours. With a 24v v6 you'll have to have in in any colour you can find!
Someday you'll have to see my dark "RAF" blue/slate to decide - never seen another Xm the same colour
apart from another V6 12v (which I also bought!! :roll: )

Thanks for liking my beast. Its a 91 plate RP number 5063. I was reunited with it for just one week as I have been back to a snowy UK, so thats as far out of the garage that I took her. She hasn't been on the road since mid 2007 when I went out to Tenerife, so I'm afraid its another SORN XM. If I go back to the UK which may happen this year, I am going to get her on the road. I have had the car since late 2002. andmcit - I bought the car off a very good friend of mine and the spoiler you see is a custom made one off. Its made out of rubber, my mate put it on because he didn't like the look of the lower bit of the front bumper. It would have been good in the snow for ploughing (Mr Plough) here's a photo of the front showing the spoiler in all its splendor. I personally like it, what does everyone else think?

Hi andy, thanks for putting that straight for me, I didn't think my eyes were playing tricks!
I think it's in character for the car and not as bling as some things I've seen done to Xm's so
quite like it; would need to make final call by looking at it on the car in the metal (and rubber)
as I do quite like the standard lip - does it affect any aerodynamics or noise etc!?

I hadn't thought about the RP number as everyone seems to have an aversion to it these days
preferring the reg number or chassis number!

You must be mad or having very bad withdrawal symptoms from 24v driving. If I were you, I'd
get the car out to Tenerife rather than come to this miserable country just to drive it! Won't
be long before fuel for it is £20 a litre and anything over 1400cc is outlawed over here. :(

I don't like the spolier thing. I'm a sucker and stickler for originality.

Hi Robert

Then you must go for the Citroen XM Accessoirie Body styling Kit as depicted in booklet K3100.
Lots of goodies there. Trailblazer, plastic boot liner etc.
I particularly like the breeze block size mobile phone.
You can take original equipment too far!!!
