I agree, very nice. I'm looking for an SE Lux too.

Keep the running boards. If nothing else they help prevent people opening their doors into yours!

Very nice Gary!
I'll take the running boards of your hands if you don't want them...

Looking good Gary -

You'll definitely appreciate the running boards when you try and wash the roof,
or if you get rails and a top box, although they can be a bit awkward for those
"shorter in the leg" to negotiate when getting in and out.

They can also be enhanced with the stick on rubber foot pads,
which look good on darker paint jobs like yours ( and mine :-)

Sent you a PM, but now read this post...& see it's a 57 reg SE lux (& not the 07 SE I saw there a few weeks ago), so even better...makes me wonder if I got as good a deal as I thought. What kind of mileage is it showing?

Cracking colour & looking the business with the boards etc. Enjoy !

Looks great Gary! Like the running boards a lot!
Almost identical to mine......except mine is the 3.2 petrol engine.
Happy driving!

Looks good, as a recent XC90 owner I must agree with the others , keep the running boards - I took mine off to sell them before I got the XC60 - it just didn't look the same car.
