Losing the plot....
Not being hugely fond of the Xantia's appearance...
but, liking the reliablity,
economy,
general comfort level,
and load-lugging ability,
I don't want to part with it (at least for now).
So,
after toasting it slightly with the BBQ at Gaydon,
I thought i'd go for the "Rat" look... you know, something a little different...

But then I thought: Nah, let's go with some thing A LOT different....
Too much? Too little? Nervous breakdown?
Some feedback perhaps?

It IS a half decent job... i've only done the offside of the centre line.
From the passengers side it looks completely normal

So, if Claire always gets in the passenger side, will she ever notice? I wish you'd come up with the idea on Saturday night, we could have had a lot of fun...

Re: Losing the plot....
Ummmm, stop taking them pills and start taking medication! WTF have you done?! Like what Matt said, I sooooooooo wish we'd had the idea on the weekend.
What ever you do to the near side, it's needs to be in the 'best' possible tastes for Stratford - just to wind up the more serious of the Citro-philes!

I am infused with WTF-edness.
However I do like whats going on with the bonnet and wing.
That said, should the Voices start telling you to burn things please come and see me for a top up depot.

I actually think that you should get the other side as pristine as possible, for total shock effect

Re: Losing the plot....
I saw a Xantia covered in artificial grass once on ebay - looked really funny. I really do think you should leave the nearside until Stratford Jay...............if yer know what I mean?!

And, I wasn't having a nervous breakdown back then
The only down side to that is if I let you bloody lot anywhere near it I won't be able to see out the windows! You'll probably paint me a porthole on the side windowBx Bandit wrote: I really do think you should leave the nearside until Stratford Jay...............if yer know what I mean?!

Well, it might be a bit fuzzy round the edges like but you'll get home.
