I was surprised by how much I liked that movie. :) You could get a 2CV looking quite a lot like a late 2nd generation Camaro by using the right parts. Like older chrome bumpers with fat black rubber etc...Could be a great idea! :) Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:55 am    Post subject: Hi Max, For me it's not good idea... Big wheels on the back and black stripes look maybe good (I say maybe) on an 80's camaro but on a 2CV van it will look just... stupid.... maybe fun... With big wheels, the car will be even higher. And the AK400 is already very high roof. Actually, it will look really 80's style so... I think for 2cv van, there is not so much possibilities but Olli's example is good. Your car is a van, use it as a van and paint some fake old advertisement on it. For example : "SNAIL 2CV speedshop", or something in french to fit well with the 2CV : and then lower the van, use maybe other hubcaps (try to adapt something non-citroën), another bumper than this "elefant killer safari one" and you should have something really cool... So that's my idea... _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:57 am    Post subject: if you have a good pic of the front corner of your car, I could make a "photoshop" to test some ideas. _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top björn Lowered Joined: 19 Jun 2007 Posts: 1695 Location: hillywood(hilversum)/holland Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:07 pm    Post subject: oooh! snail speedshop sounds nice I not soure yet to am I going to do RUDOR on the side or somthing els Back to top björn Lowered Joined: 19 Jun 2007 Posts: 1695 Location: hillywood(hilversum)/holland Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:09 pm    Post subject: whe could do max and mine in speedshop englise chepter and a dutch just like the hells angels Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:29 pm    Post subject: björn wrote: whe could do max and mine in speedshop englise chepter and a dutch just like the hells angels Lets make clear that Snail is not any kind of club. It just is ideology of good style customized 2cv's. We create this Snail thing to raise up very sleeping 2cv custom culture. All Snail things out there are really good adds to make people regognize what is going on, its good way to make this ideology known. Snail is "all together" type of thing so we will not have any chapters whit "you/us" thinking. For me is really ok if there is "Snail Speed Shop" logo's on side of some ones car.. (exept I would like to make that desing.. its not same what picture snail gives out there :) ) Keep on Customizing your 2cv's whit good taste! -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top björn Lowered Joined: 19 Jun 2007 Posts: 1695 Location: hillywood(hilversum)/holland Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:36 pm    Post subject: ok it whase just a funny mind spin oli it would be cool a speedshop logo do you have somthing in your mind?
