Not me - my car came with a full set. Mind you, they seem to hold a lot of moisture! I took them off and put them somewhere safe.

I did wonder about how much they would hold the water, i was thinking of plastering lots of grease on before fitting them, then wiping off the excess, if i got them.
I have never seen an XM with a full set! but then yours has been very well looked after most of its life.
Has anybody else got a full set?

In my ignorance in my early Xm'ing days I split a pair of front one's before realising
my stupidity when I jacked the car up with my trolley jack. I agree they tend to trap
a load of moisture on the sill in an already dodgy area so don't actively fit them.
Some have even fallen off along the way so I was watching the auction you mention
and was wondering if I would bid but decided there's better things I can spend the
dosh on!!

Your right there Andrew, there is better things to spend the hard earned on but i have to confess to being a little sad, when it comes to pointless XM goodies i just cant resist

I did have two covers kicking about but i cant find them anywhere now, ive got too much rubbish!!

Just think of the fuel savings you could enjoy if you were to go Carrera Sport spec
and go with LESS though!?

No XM I've ever owned has come with jacking point covers, including the newly acquired SX with very clean body, and perfectly straight jacking points.
Not that they're anything to be sorry you don't have, a bit like the diesel undertray cover...

Hi Norman
I did need the whole set as a just cannot find the other two i had, oh well, i thought it had to be someone on here
We've both bid now anyway, im not going to go any higher so good luck, just a shame we pushed the price up for whoever gets them but thats the way it works i guess
Regards
