Looks like it need lowering with those wheels and tyres. Are you sure they are the right tyres? the profile looks extremely low to me.
And a Jap style tail pipe
What's with the twin air filters? and why have you got the old air pick up behind the filters?
Nice clean 406 though, bodywork looks very good.

Ooooh shiny! Can I have your bonnet please?

because putting those alloys on with their low profile tyres you've reduced the overall size of the wheels. This means for every turn of the wheels you're traveling less distance thus the speedo will me mis-reading by a fair amount.
You want either bigger profile tyres on your alloys, or bigger alloys for the same profile rubber.

agreed mjb
Nice rims.. put the normal profiles of the steels back on or get bigger loys and keep the profile you have.
Saying that though... that must be a hard ride!
A friend of mine got himself a V6 406 saloon and put big loys on it with low profile tyres. He started dissing the 406s suspension saying it was hard as rock and uncomfortable. I told him to shut up and put the steels back on with the regular tyres to show it was his "They're cool and slick" low profilers. He did so and saw the error of his ways.
