Hi and welcome on SNAIL forum!

Your car has cool color and I like the patina of the steering wheel!

With this huge front bumper and additionnal front lights, it looks more "offroad" for moment...

One great idea to do with a orange 2cv6 could be something like that :



No handle doors, no turn signal in front fenders, simple bumper, old style mirror, moon hub caps...

Everythings seems simple to realize, and maybe it doesn't need to be low like that (and btw it's impossible to be so low without channelling)...

Wink

Hey ramon, start by taking of front and rear bumpers. If you are a god driver, you won't need them anyway. Take away the extra lights, paint your wheels black, chrome rims around the edges and paint whitewalls on your tires. Lower the car and you are on your way to having a custom car.

Maybe later add some special paint or pinstriping.

I agree with Bart, Im warming to adventure bumpers but only cos my car had them when i got it and i kinda like it, on a custom 2cv they will look silly, i disagree with bart about the extra lights, its not a custom car look but they would be great frenched in to your front wings where the indicators go. (just my opinion.) black rims as said and really low would be a good start.

About stripes, if you really want, best thing is to contact an artist in NL. Maybe Bart knows a good one or maybe he's interrested to make them him self... But first customize your car!

And don't forget, customize could also meens simplify Wink

My car has 4 Gabriel shock absorber. It's better (a lot) than the Lip ones! But best thing to do to ride really low, should be change also spring for stronger ones.

Well if you want to hang on to your big bumper, go all the way for the Camel Trophy look.

Get some advertisement stickers from total or whatever and a race number, put a roofrack with a petrol can, spare wheel and toolbox on top. And a shovel on the back. And a snorkel airfilter. And some mudflaps. Paint the wheels and all chrome and alu trim black. Then you can also add all the extra lights that you want. (I like extra lights too, but it has to fit the car.)

It will not be a Custom style but can be nice as well!

Bart is right... Good result needs all part fit together!

On the Olli's drawing, we can see regular bumper could looks really good btw.
