   well i like the euro look but also ave the speed. I've had sunroof removed, de badged boot lock smoothed front bumper widemouth, back tow eye removed and fogs smoothed looking for some unique ideas to do to my car.
   
   All crazy ideas welcome.....

   euro look, low, smooth, small rims 13 14 15 clear glass no spoilers .. interior remove head rests gives a clean look throughout car colour or performance not inportant my view

    deep dish alloys (spend around 1k i think on them...without tyres!) and get the tyres stretched...
    
    Only thing stopping me going euro look is the practicality of it...speed bumps etc dont want to scrape underside of the car and all. Love the euro look though...

    that would be ben chandlers old car the lol
    
    jonnys is nice but imo needs to be lower
    
    it's hard to fully get euro n tbh going for the euro look you will be compramising other areas like handeling being so low
    but it's doable lee_vtr1 has euro styling in the works and I rekon we can get his car going quite well
    
    and awrights 106
    that was fucking low and I drove the nuts off it n it just kept gripping
    
    so yea if you put the work in you can be a fast euro car

    Euro, ummmmm
    
    Take off everything possible on the outside. Smooth is the key.
    
    Then get the stance right. Its all about the stance.
    
    Low and Wide wheels!!
    
    Then leather inside! Yum yum!
    
    Euro is very hard to pull off as me and lee are finding out!

    i know those just dont float my boat,
    If the brown saxo had those mirrors i think it would spoil it,
    It looks better with standard mirrors

    candy purple spray job or a rust colored spray job - that would defiantly get you looks

    I couldn't agree more tbh dude everything you've said is spot on.

    no dtms are a fair bit different (bigger and the baseplates dont wrap round the mirror like on the matigs)

    well in my opinion i think the euro/cleaned look is the best
    
    make it classy!
    make look like a million dollors
    no loud and lairy colours!
    nice a simple
    
    as lee has said its very hard to pull off but its all about people needing to take a second or maybe the third look to notice the mods you have done
    
    my car come of the road this friday and its all hands on deck to get it ready for the first show next year
    
    my car is getting the works done to it.
    
    . engine rebuild but every part u can see will be painted
    . engine bay getting smoothed
    . body work going to be arrow straight
    . and so on..... think you get what i mean lol
    
    plus as always as the dub scene like unique touches and i have a few up my jumper
    
    watch my project thread from sat and you will see the start of it being made

    The 2 most important things with the euro look is wide wheels, slammed to the ground.
