And at last, the last modification done this weekend - car was lowered

There is one man sitting in the back, and it looks amazingly for me

When the car is empty back is about one inch higher and it doesn't look so great

Thanks for attention and i am very sorry for my weak English i am learning it only
I'll try to update information about jobs around the car

i really like the 406s lowered but cant bring myself to do it to mine. speed bumps etc etc

I had to stop before i go through the speed bump, because sometimes exhaust takes a little crash into speed bump.
But i've heard, that speed bumps in Ireland are little bit higher

Nah, we don't have speed bumps here. This sort of ride height is largely accepted and practised

Looks, that what I know is wrong
My girlfriend's parents live here and said, that speed bums are high ant long..I don't know where is the truth

p.s. Lovely dropped 306. How about technical inspection? Is it all right if u come with such a low car like this?

You will see lots of cars like this over here but they are nothing but trouble!! There are lots of speed bumps which are generally quite high worse however, are potholes. After our coldest Winter ever a lot of our roads are in a bad state. Your 406 is nice the way it is, I wouldn't suggest lowering it any further. Nice pics btw

Looks very nice mate!
Welcome to the club!

Thank you

You must see our roads after winter - they are horrible! Trust me, roads in Ireland are much more better than here
Of course, this winter you had about -17 oC as I know.. It makes me smile a bit, because we had temperature about -20 and more few weeks in a row, and there are -5 at the moment.. There were -28..-30 oC last winter and tones of snow...
So just try imagine how much and what size holes on the road we have here

You have to be very careful when driving lowered car with low profile tires
So I am searching r15 original alloy wheels with 195/65(60) tires in order not to broke teeth

Teamster1975: I just want to learn something how to make my 406 better and share what i have and know

p.s. As I said, I am quite weak in English and want to improve it So, mate = friend, fellow? (I have seen, that this is quite often word in forum, but i have heard it as a name of condoms only )

And stop posting so fast, I am not as fast as you are

I am just joking, express your opinion. I will try to fit something new on d8 and share it to you as soon as possible

Yes, mate = friend
Do not apologise for your english speaking, you're doing very well!

Small upgrade i didn't mentioned - removed black stickers from doors. (There are some left on the driver's door)
The doors are all grey like whole car

Mr. perfect..

More I look at it, more I love it

There was installed material which stops vibrations... And it does. I feel huge difference when i have replaced driver's doors after a little accident and it hasn't anti-vibro material..
Now more sounds come from driver's side than from passenger's (where material still is)

photo made before accident in driver's side

is that door like that now behind your door card ?

the big gaps into inside of the door ?

or was a seal put back on ?
