TüV just means your car is street legal in Germany. If there was a TüV for coolness I can guarantee your car wouldn't have it _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

But guys I had a quick look at this and one may argue about the looks, but the tractor comparison doesn't really make sence. Tractors have high bonnets like Olli's hotrod picture and the position of the front wheels varies between the two positions shown. Feel free to have a look at some examples here: http://images.google.de/images?ndsp=18&hl=de&um=1&q=traktor&revid=784846383&ei=yTjvSurkIMrV-QaQxd3wCw&sa=X&oi=revisions_inline&resnum=0&ct=broad-revision&cd=1&start=0 Padde's 2cv hasn't got the bonnet and yes the front wheels are in tractor position as on many hotrods... _________________ I like to play Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:08 am    Post subject: 2cv looks ****** without fenders, because bonnet comes too front. Thats why I call them as Tractor rods. This is not visually best option. If I would not be able to move front axle I would keep fenders in the car. Its true that 30's cars has high bonnet as tractors, but it still does not change the fact that 2cv's nose is too long. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:23 am    Post subject: -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 12:41 am    Post subject: Here is some previous visual discussions: chop by Etienne. same with fenders: Some other from our forum: -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top Wonderi Snailer Joined: 20 Aug 2009 Posts: 38 Location: Pirkkala, Finland Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:59 pm    Post subject: I'm not sure yet if it looks ugly or just different, but does anybody know if "tractor fenders" that move with steering and suspension are legal in Finland?

But you dont have to do something just because its bossible or legal. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top dago Dropped Joined: 26 Mar 2008 Posts: 241 Location: Suomi Posted: Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:29 pm    Post subject: But can. _________________ Pete Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         SNAIL Forum Index -> General chat All times are GMT + 2 Hours Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum SNAIL forum----------------General chatMeetingTechnicYour ride Sell/Buy----------------For SaleWanted  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
