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!
Great to see you back on the Forum lately Dave and making progress with your car and the wheels do indeed look brill!! I hope you do not mind me asking but what sort of cost was involved? With regards, Matthew T.

I have been away a while but am trying to spend some time on the cars again!
It was 240 big ones and that includes refitting tyres. I had two put back on and the other two left off as they were past it.
They look great! Price seems very reasonable too. Unfortunately the Draper wallet has other pressures at the moment
Mine will be a DIY job, hopefully in time for the X Rally. If my efforts look half as good it will have been well worth it.
You have set the standard for me now as mine are the identical alloys (still haven't worked out what they are doing on a 1990 build Si but hey)

If the original style alloys were originally fitted on your car Rob, which were an option, they probably got changed as the 24v wheels are easier to keep looking well. With regards, Matthew T.

I considered doing it myself but the time it would have taken me would have m made it not worth it.
Still got the cx, it's currently sat in the garage awaiting attention. Im hoping that of i get the rear of the xm done soon I can then focus on the cx. Planning to take the shelll off and have someone else spray it whilst i sort the chassis out. .
