   Imo start with the wheels and build up. The wheels are often the most expensive part of a euro look car and everything else can be based on them (tyre stretch how low, colours, smoothing, ect, ect)

    best thing to do is not label your car as someone will always pick a fault with the supposed "route" your going down

    Bodywork has to be 'clean' on a saxo you can get away with smoothing fogs over, widemouthing, smoothing number plate recess. Rear smooth the bumper exhaust recess, and tow eye. The boot get the badge holes smoothed over, or look at fishervts's boot, his is perfection
    
    Interior you need a full retrim in leather and lots of it!
    
    Chassis you would need to go low, coilovers on the front all the way down and the rear to match.
    
    Wheels and tyres! The big one! You need something rare, with a dished lip and strech tyres on. You need the arch to sit litteraly on the edge of the rim for a slick stance.
    
    
    As said, 1st step go to your bank for the loan then proceed

    And for me choosing the right wheels will make or break it looks wise,just my opinion.

    Or the way the European Commission is going with its directive on modifications, leave it bog standard or youll get a slap. This is causing chaos with chopper builders in the bike world and it wont be long before it hits car modifiers as well. Bastards!

    Track look only suits when the car is actually used on a track reguarly.
    People who put cages and bucket seats, tow straps and all that nonsense and use it as a daily drive just stupid
    Otherwise if euro is not your look, OEM+ FTW!

    You never heard of "tuck" or "poke", what your discribing is called "hella flush" a american based movement. Its just currently the uk trend in the same way "poke" was afew years ago and jdm influences are starting to come through. I could show you some amazing cars that have a tucked stance but this isnt as fashionable as the others so often over looked.
    Not true at all, just do your car how u like it and let others pigeon (sp) hole it!
    
    What you said about the bodywork is the standard fomular these days and rather boring. Tryin be creative, look at alot of the belgium scene etc & u'll see bodykits, bold paint jobs, pinstripping all sorts which alot of people over here wouldnt attribute to the "euro" scene.
    
    But yes you do need deep pockets and be quite creative and ahead of the trends rather than follow if your going "euro" as the scene moves so fast its hard to make an impact.
    
    Decied (sp) on wheels 1st then take it from then perfect the stance on the choosen wheels. I could show you alot of fairly standard cars with sick rims and spot on stance which look amazing. Its hard to find a car the other way with killer bodywork, interior etc and average wheels and stance.
