It looks really in good condition!

I like charleston, but maybe it's not the easiest 2CV to customize...

First thing to do is to throw away all these crappy accessories, and lower it!

I'll try to find a good pic of a Charleston and make a photoshop of it.

It looks like a Charleston fake, but that's no prob if you want to modify anyway.

My suggestion: lower, bumpers black, wheels black, away with foglights and blinkers, narrow headlight frame (painted black), old grille. Use scotchbrite pads to give the paint a matte finish.

Take it a step further with closing 3rd side window and losing bootlid and stretching the roof to the rear bumper.

Charleston is a 80's car, I think it would be a mistake to make it look older. Old grille looks weird.. Remove front indicators would be to look smoother, but I would keep grille, 3d window, square rear light...

I think head lights are awfull.. As I said before: even 2cv is "ugly" car,
its well designed - all proportions are maching well. For 2cv original
front lights looks best. Those are too hitek too.

Bumber looks like it is over scaled from tamiya model kit.

first works: removing the foglights,replace it for an older light , paint the headlightframe and narrow it a little bit, I will try some other rims on mat black ones and with white walls, remove or try some other colors on the bumper.
Can anybody tell me where I can find good white wall paint?

I have bought a supply of cans. I used it to paint tyres on the Tiki Wagon and Tatra. I still have some cans left. They are 30 euro's plus postage costs.

One can is enough for five tyres, three coats (you need that). It's easy to use.

I can send a can if you want.

Hello!
I bought two cans white wall paint here:
http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/other/tirepaint.htm
It cost me 35€ + 10€ shipping to Finland. I haven´t paint any tyres jet, but looks good at the pictures.
