Re: Wow...how low can you go!
Good luck on getting anywhere near that for it, a decent 2.2 with lowish mileage your talking 4kish private lol. The problem with modifying cars is you will never get what you've shelled out on it.

Fabulous photographs!
Being a 'driver' I'm normally not keen on show cars, but I have to say this is a Mean Machine.

Might cost a few quid to get that rear axle repaired....

Re: Wow...how low can you go!
I'm too old to appreciate these modern modifications:-
. Illegally structured number plate S66 POO modified to make the 6s look like "E"
.Interesting tyre and rim combinations
.Suspension so low, the car's tummy is nearly dragging along the ground and rear wheels tiptoeing on the inside inch of tread.
. I reckon you'd need a "flexible" MOT inspector
None of the above is of course an issue if the intention is to trailer the car to shows. GLWTS

Re: Wow...how low can you go!
It's riding on hydraulic suspension, so you wouldn't have to drive it at that height.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

I thought hydraulic suspension is a really old idea that came standard on really old Citreons?
Re: Wow...how low can you go!
And some really modern "Citroens" as well.

I think it's more likely running or airbags that true hydraulic but could be wrong.Dino D wrote:I thought hydraulic suspension is a really old idea that came standard on really old Citreons?
Re: Wow...how low can you go!
well each to their own and all that but, this looks like an exercise in how daft can you get. The tragedy is that the seller is probably trying to recoup what it cost him to do it. How many people would want a car like that?

Re: Wow...how low can you go!
I have a set of 30mm lowering springs stored in my garage - I once fitted them to my previous 2.8. (the pic below of my 2.8 is with the lowered springs fitted) The cornering and handling was exciting and a pleasure - but speed bumps and the front spoiler were a constant issue which after a few months led me to revert to the OEM springs. I think the example in the link is great from a "caricature" point of view, but sadly impractical too.

It's a "generational thing". If you wear low slung jeans that expose your Calvin Kleins, you would probably like the appearance. If like me, you prefer a comfortable waistband and find pension planning interesting, then you probably won't.

Interesting to see what floats the boat for some, but not for me tho

Re: Wow...how low can you go!
As I said, each to their own and maybe I am just getting old but, comfortable trousers are definitely in
