Those wheels suit the Xsara, aren't they from a C4? Did you have them coated?

Nice cars

Yes, they're from a VTR+ by the looks of it. Or possibly a Loeb, which came with white wheels initially.

Yea they are from a C4 loeb,local dealer ordered a set for a customer but should have ordered silver,so they were a bit of a bargain.They fit with 20mm spacers on a stud conversion but had to fiddle around with the type of wheelnut to get the centre caps to fit.

Love the Xsara VTS, but not diggin' that number plate! Needs a ph2.5 front bumper too, that'd set it off nicely.

Since the pics the number plate has been relocated to a lower position,a 2.5 bumper i agree but its down to money.

Forget the Venturi, get the 110 to the front of the pic. They`re just gorgeous.

One of the beauties has now gone,replaced by a more frugal and utilatarean frenchie.With the C2 having over 125000 miles and not doing as many miles now,also a need to carry more and more messy horsey stuff I have opted for a slightly beaten but low mileage 1.4 Xsara.With only 71000 on it and long t&t it was too cheap to turn down at £775.

Here is my French beauty. Still needs the wheels sorting and a bit of finishing off.

But she has: restored chassis, rebuilt engine and gearbox, new brakes, new shocks, all important new coolant pipes from front to rear, etc etc
