Back on the road again!!!

Just some little things to do.
M&S tyres with mat black paint.
The bonnet (place of the numberplate)
And more little things.

Looks good! I would suggest you drop it a good 5 to 7 cm, such that your rearwing al least goes through the middle of the rearwheel. That would make it look even beter.

Ciao, Bart

New nosejob:

Under the grill there are 4 holes (7,5cm). I'm not sure if black is the best option. Matbe it's better in grey? Rolling Eyes

I think it would be better as grey. You should get or make smaller front
register plate. But now your 2cv's face is very nice. Next you can clean the
rear. Lose trucker style chrome border from reg plate, mud flaps, reserve
light, maybe tow hook and try channel the bumber and get rid of those
blastic ends of it. If you need tow hook, hide electric blug under bumber Very Happy

register plate we can not modify in NL, that is why we prefer pre 1978 2cvm because then we can use blue license plates.

Ofcourse we cant modify regplates in Fin too (its good we have small blacks
for pre -72 cars) But you can be a bit anarchy and made a bit smaller plate
which looks exactly like original... Will you be stopped and get fine all a time?

Thanks for the advice.

Made this in Paint, just to get the idea:

Grey is better. So I get some paint this week. Wink

I really don't like the license plate at all. I better have a old-skool blue one, but I'm not sure i would like fines. Wink

Also the towhook is not the nicest thing, but I use it on a regular basis. But the idea of losing the electronics is good.
Maybe I can make the rearlight integrated in the bumper? Rolling Eyes

I find the car a bit over ornated too, but you decide.

I also think that the refrigeration holes must be visible, it can improve performance and look in one shot.

I like your interior sun visor very much, its a pity that it cant stay when the roof is only half open cause is a great idea.

About the license plate, here in Spain is legal a small plate, and even putting it in a side, think in the alfa romeo 147, im sure in your country this car also feature this small plate.

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