This is my 2cv, some of you might have seen it at Spa, Ive got some new front wings coming for it and generally its being tidied up a bit at the moment, its a little bit low and its got a natty spoiler and wheeltrims, thats about it though. anybody got any fun ideas how to make it a bit cooler?
Im not blessed with a huge pile of cash, so mainly i want to know what ideas you creative folks have on how to make it a bit sweeter...

Like Neil said, just get rid of the tow bar. It's a real cool car the way it is now! Those headlights, little spoiler and hubcaps make it look very smooth ... simple but efficient. Wink

Tow bars destined for My Ami6 once its back on the road, so no worries there, glad you like it Sam, Im just thinking its still a bit plain, a bit of a blank canvas.

Oh Neil, the gimp passengers were there to assist the suspension lowering.

Hi, I wouldn't change much if I were you it is a nice ride. I'd keep the typical 80s 2cv look, with that color, square headlights. Apart from things already said, I'd get rid of some of those shine bits. First of all that crome rainrail thingy. And I don't like those big crome hubcaps, I would go for standard color rims with holes, ami super or just round holes (not too big). I have seen round holes at Burton the other day and it is just different.

Cheers, Bart

I have to agree with Bartje, stock gris rose rims & hub caps would look slicker dude...

I also like square lights on a 2CV, depends of the style of the car of course.

Some small cleaning. Removed rear door handles. Old grille.
If spoiler is staying I think also square lights can stay.
