Oooh, my Mi16 is crying out for the same treatment as the 306 wagon. Sad that anything that low is completely verboten here. Is it me, or is it also an "all or nothing" sort of look? You couldn't do those wheels on a higher car or a car that low without that much dish. Of course, that's also what makes it great!  |

Sad that anything that low is completely verboten here. No way!!! Airbags? Sure, but then you have to raise it up to drive around and it looks like  . The general rule (in Oz) is 100mm clearance from the lowest point on the vehicle unless it came lower from the factory. Of course, it's only illegal if you get nicked. And you're drastically more likely to get nicked in something new and chavved up than something old and tasteful. Besides, airbags on a Peugeot which is famed for having perfectly matched springs and dampers? Nah. (Sorry, that's the Peugeot purist in me coming out) |

Just the kind of thing I'd love to do to our Focus Wagon. - click the 'view next' button until you reach the last picture...then click it.  |

Yup, faux-wood is already applied to our one in my head! ;D And because it is this colour:  A light metallic green, I think that faux wood would look even better. Not keen on those bling rims on that red one either, I think something more subtle (15 or 16 in), with some dish and more sidewall would be betterer. Like I said, in my head it's all done. But I have been categorically ordered NOT to fiddle with this one, on pain of being separated from my 'nads. |

I don't like all of these. I don;t like that white saloon what ever it is.
The Pug wagon is tasteful looking.
I keep looking at the Mazda and thinking - lower, wheels, debadge... but MrsK is not keen on it being "chavved up".
