I spent alot of time getting it how it is today! im pleased with it! Bumble wanted to see this motor to! so here it is:


Many people have different views! I dont get offended so any views welcome!

Its been lowered 40mm
got 15" speedline alloys (sprayed white) with 195/45/15 tires (tried to getting it lower)
Has smoked rear lights (didnt like standards on dark blue)
Tinted windows all round
M3 mirrors (The ones on it were red painted with a black marker pen and i got these cheap)
Uprated door speakers sound system the norm. (nothing stupid that takes all the room up in the boot)
A tiny ariel thing on the roof (Radios never worked think the wires been cut)


Havent really got any plans but its my 406 i love it :)

Looks pretty good, although the tiny wheels/tyres combo looks like space savers to me :supafrisk:

Yeh they do look diddy in the picture's lol not to bad if you see the car!

The police where i live aren't to bothered about tinted windows! And the fronts are a light smoke and the rears are limo'd!

Nice, though I think I'd pass on the white wheels. The black tail lights do look good with that body colour. I was sceptical when I saw them advertised online but they do sit nicely with your car.

BTW, does yours sound like a tractor from 1950's Kyrgyzstan?

Thanks mate! I just needed something to be different so i went for white wheels to stand out :)

No it doesnt sound like a tractor at all to be honest! that made me laugh lol.

The tyre profile is too small. It makes your wheels look like castors on a couch.
I suggest returning the normal profile for the 15 inch steel wheels or getting much bigger alloys.

With a larger profile tyre, the ride will be much more pleasant too.

Looks good! I do agree with the others though; the wheels look far too small.
