putting "race" cooling holes on a somewhat "Grandad" 2cv might not be the best of choices ?

Looks pretty good, but please remove that blue tape of your headlights. Are you gonna lower it or leave it like this?

The blue tape is something I did today. I think it's no good either. Maybe black is better.

I don't want to lower it. It's my wintercar so I need it for off-road meetings. Lowering it looks better, but is no good for the useability. Wink

You could lower it just 3-4 cm, it would make it look slicker without hindering drivability ;^)

i'm driving in this level without any broblems. Could be even 2-3cm more low.
You could also make it look better by loosing all lousy stickers and "funny" texts on tires. Less is more.

Here is some working "racing tapes" on lamps:

PIC1 PIC2 PIC3

But maybe then it would need some other racing styling too.

-lower
-a bit wider steel wheels +low tires
-loose bumbers
-race mirrors
-roll cage
so on....

But we came on question how much racing car ami estate is?

That's more the idea indeed.

I bought the car for the chassis and the engine and stuff. Maybe in the future I make a kitcar out of it. But when the body is good enough for a APK (MOT) it's gonna be a Ami. Wink

I Do agree with you Olli... (and I'm fond of your 8 ) but maybe does he need to find something softer and maybe not free... >>> his 8 looks like a milshake of rock'nroll and racing.

But I also understand he could want to have fun with his car...

Rebuild the engine from scrap and al the brake parts in the front are new or made as new.


Doors with a "retro" print.


New tures and mirror.

I know it is not a real snail, but I like the car more with the day. Laughing


The big boot is very handy at meetings.
