the stuff that looks very syntheticy. I don't like the seat covering in my fathers C5,
same goes for my sisters C4 coupe thing.
This type of stuff, not luxurious at all in my mind.
With you on that one Robert - it seems like the stuff is half made of plastic?
Bit like the seats in naff fast food restaurants...
Can't agree with you on the veal but that's another discussion again.

Looking very much forward to hearing more about this
Harry's experiences importing this car to Malaysia and exporting again to the UK - must be quite a story.
I have imported a few Citroens to Japan from Europe - and a few two-wheelers - so I am interested.
I am sure similar XMs are available in Japan, but only to people like David who know how to appreciate their value.

Back to the original post, I do actually like the exterior treatment of the white XM, nice bodykit.

I thought it was Harry's car on your site.
The Toyota Prius on the left and the red stripes on the coachwork were the giveaway.
Can't wait until this one arrives. I'm like a kid at Christmas lol.

Back to the white modded XM: is there something different about the inner surfaces of the headlights? there appear to be black parts within the reflector areas. I think the lights look cooler than standard.

Its as if the plastic beam deflector has been tinted as well. I can only imagine what effect they have on the already shit lights XMs have.
