Off topic chat about anything you like. Doesn't have to be about XMs (though they will inevitibly come up!). You can even discuss non-Citroens in here!
They are side skirts from a body kit, possibly oe. They were usually bonded to the car and screwed, its likely the bond is too strong to break without risk of damage or they were laid out like that for the photographs.
Can't be many about now, I like them for the fact they tidy up the fill sillohet but they are too bulky IMO and you don't get to see the structural sills flare out to the wheel arches which is rather attractive.
