That's another model. This one has braun stripes. It was the 2 CV week-end only sold in Switzerland.
The one on my own picture is a similar model I shot in Alsace and the car was bought from Switzerland. And it was definitely braun. _________________ www.super2cv.com |

Interesting... these stripes are completely the same except the colors.
I've never expected that there was such a story of these stripes on my car!
I thought that I just bought a deuche with ugly handpainted stripes with a lot of rust. |

Yes you should make your 2 CV like original : stripes, color, grille, bumpers... And just give it some cool stance. Would be awesome. _________________ www.super2cv.com |

I agree with Etienne, it would be cool to see those stripes back.
But if you don't want the car to be 100% original, maybe you can use these stripes as a sort of 'theme' for your customisations. |

Yeah, Kadaver I agree with you.
The old stripes (no complete respray, I've no money to restore the car completey), lowered, black or red/white wheels, Azam bumpers and lowered. And some 60's details, like the grill.
I really like the 60's look. And then with these stripes and some custom things. Everything can be build back to original then.
Hmmzzz, photoshoptime! |

Make it completely original looking white wheels, standard bumper, narrow rear bumper and drop it to the floor. |

it looks like a darker version of the white one
brown, dark blue on a creme 2cv
weird
was it an special edition or like in holland for company use?
and what year is it from??
and I agree with the rest
get the striping back
low stance

I've sold my Sahara bumpers and I founded some AZAM bumpers.... But the seller don't respond anymore and my 2CV has no bumpers now.......
So I'm still looking for a AZAM bumper set for my deuche..
I' drove almost 1000km's in the last few weeks and yesterday I made a long trip over the highway and it drives better and better. On the highway 110kmph is relaxed to drive. When I drive 100kmph my steer starts shaking. My car needs to be lined out and the wheels needs to be balanced. This needs to be done after I painted all my wheels.
Some small things are changed, I've made myself new (brown) interior lining... (more difficult then I thought.... so it looks a bit......... )
I've mounted my stereo and made some speakers for in the dashboard. Finally some good music in my car! (still need a sub)
At the moment I'm painting the wheels red and white, that will look so much better!
Here a photo of my car at the moment.

Almost sure your wheels shake because they have been balanced once. Remove all the small weights and go try.
I drove more than 300 000 km in different 2 CV with different tires. Never got a wheel shaking without weights added. Believe me. _________________ www.super2cv.com |

Thanks for the tip Etienne, I'll try that!
My wheels at the front are balanced indeed, I'll remove those things and see what's going to happen
Oh and I replaced my shock absorbers by Monroe ones, what a difference, my old ones were totally leak, crap and old. This is much better! |

Are your old ones Lips? Than you could try to refill them. |

This is for Monroe with gaz only, I think. Or are they all with gaz ? Don't they exist with oil in it for some of them ? _________________ www.super2cv.com |
