Thnx Auto is een maandje geleden verkocht, rijdt voortaan in de regio Wijk aan Zee. Eigenaar wilde de auto volgens mij niet zo laag leggen. Jammer, want op z'n laagst zag de auto er wel het mooiste uit De Charade is vervangen door een Seat Cordoba Cupra 1.8 20VT. Die zal niet verlaagd worden ofzo.

Very nice! Crazy how much lower the subframe is than the bumper, you should put a Renault Laguna splitter on it to make the bumper sit a bit lower?! Looks good anyway, nice car!

Thnx Chris I've thought about a front splitter. Main reason not to do, was that at this way I could still take speedbumps quite easy. Lowest point (subframe) was between the front wheels.
As I said above in Dutch, the car was sold last november, after I've had it for about 7 years.. Lack of time, bought a house and no friends left that love to go to meetings. In 2011 I visited 2 meetings. Since last meeting (april 2011) I only drove 45 km's with the car..
I now have a Seat Cordoba Cupra (with the 1.8 20VT). I promised myself not to lower the Seat..
