but I'm not so sure about the two tone wheels... especially heavy contrast black and white... |
Maybe painting white the grey parts of the bumper would fit... before you change it for another bumper.

Same as the rest about the indicators... There are many ideas possible to put them more discreet... but you can do that later.
To me the wheels look like you wanted whitewall tyres but didn't find any... 
Very nice car otherwise

you're right I must admit that  shame on me besause I agree with "better original than badly modified"
but finally I like them like that I find it different fom whitewalls and it makes the wheels look a bit wider. anyway I think I'll repaint it one day.
And about my indicators I totally share your opinion I'll change it as soon as I can

that's right but I think I'll rather move it up in the front  it breaks my heart but I have no suspension anymore! Or more preciselly I'm so close from the stops that I hit it on each bump
Is it possible to make the suspension harder to prevent from this?
I've dealt with the rear
But I can't go lower because the "tirant de suspension" broke when I unscrewed it so it's shorter than before

When the car was in pieces did you not fill the tie rod ends with grease ? that would have avoided snapping now...
If the tie rod is now shorter, you can fit Rear Acadiane Tie rod ends... that will make up for the shorter rod...
do you have shock absorbers on front or friction ???

Ach... shame you didn't make the most of it and open them up then...
What you could do now, is drive the car, and while you're doing that, save up for some harder springs and shock absorbers.
When you've got them, it won't take long to take the spring cans off the car, swap the springs for harder ones, and fit a new rod...
Then you can adapt shock absorbers on the front, and get it much lower...
but it's OK for the time being...

In all case, when you drive low, you have to cut (or reduce) these rubber stop...
