the strip clips into the mold you can remove the chrome strip and clean it up I cleaned mine and put some aluminium tape over them better than £63 from the dealers as you have to buy the complete moulding <_< greedy dealers

I bought a Xantia new in 1998 and within 18 months the insert around the bumpers were beginning to deteriorate. Don't know whether anything here will work:-

thanks jd, i had a look at the site, but not sure wich one is for the chrome strips on mine. tom

take width measurement and order the thinnest to stick over yours you don't want it sticking out too far

I would be looking to replace rather than stick over. I can't remember the Xantia moulding now but I would have thought something like this one would replace the original. Some trimming might be necessary:-
