I too have seen the mysterious silver estate a couple of times.

Yes, I pass that way nearly every day at about 17.45.
I'm even easier to spot at night, as I have yellow headlights... just like the good doc does.

Haven't had the pleasure of flashing at you lot yet though - I've got those yellow lights too, although not in the image below, and I'm in a grey TZD estate... often around Bedminster / St. Pauls...

Hmmmm, I'd forgotten what my car looks like clean, time I gave it a wash!

Yellow headlights are easy to do, but only if your car uses H4 type bulbs.... I think your car uses H1 bulbs, which rather puts a spanner in the works....

That silver estate, do you ever get to the St George area? I've seen that car there a couple of times.

red tzd estate on the m5 last night i think it was a women driving.

ebay.de is your friend - MUCH cheaper than ebay uk.

I bought some of these - they're really good.

I draw your attention to my earlier comments about these covers only being suitable for cars which have H4 type bulbs, which include BX's.

XM cars use H1 type bulbs, and so it isn't possible to use these covers.

Sometimes if you are lucky, there are occaisionally yellow xennon H1 bulbs, but the beam doesn't look that yellow to me....

I bought some yellow H4's for my BX - and very nice (and yellow) they look too.
