They're very low profile tyres, and it looks like the car has not been lowered. I ber it runs lock stops, no inner wing sheilds, and the arches have been rolled. Pug ugly spoilers (cheap and nasty mesh, too, it looks like). but vented bonnet would be effective if it has anything worthwhile under the bonnet.
:yuck: AH! MY EYES! THEY'RE BLEEDING! 
Not as bad as a Saxo I saw once, which seemed to have been raised to accommodate the ridiculous wheels (easily noticeable positive camber on the back wheels).

oh i'm familiar with the site.. And yes i try to avoid it. And i consider this worse than any saxo merely because saxo's are supposed to be rubbish and chavved up

urgh!:bang: if ever there was a lesson in how not to make your sei look! (IMO) dont get me wrong, in a 15 or 16, the rims wouldnt look too bad, but its the body kit that ruins it for me. some cars suit a body kit, a seicento isn't one of them!
Fiat just got the seicento spot on in the first place, never seen any after-market bodywork that looks as good as oem.
true, its like the mk1 impreza and the dc5 integra type r. The only thing I'd do to the standard spi bumper is fill and smooth the side vents, or just make them look a bit smarter as , imo, they look a bit of an after thought.
or just stick a decent splitter on, that works even on a sei...
don't think you can get them anymore or i'd have one on my sei..

There is some Romanian and Italian stuff that looks good, but it is pretty extreme.

Yes as it is basically a mickey taking website - FF isnt and want no association with it so dont want to see it linked on here
At end of the day it is still someones pride and joy, peoples cars from this site have been featured on there so its filtered so people who arent aware of it who are members here arent encouraged to join in their ridiculous diatrabes
that does look pretty good but its only adding a splitter onto it and some light brow's. again it seems subtle mods are best! :slayer:
The splitter works (don't know if it works in practice, though!) but the eyebrows are pretty damn silly.
agreed! i hate eyebrows of any description or bad boy bonnets. Is just a stock photo from cadamuro's website - they made eyebrows too.
Like i said though, i don't think they exist anymore. That splitter is clearly trying to look motorsport but it doesn't extend under the car at all so it will have little to no effect looks cool though
coming back to the car posted at beginning, can you imagine how slow a sei would be on 17s!

ha, that's very true! probably about the equivalent of, what, 40BHP ?! not only the size, but the added weight of that body kit, and it prob has a hench sub and amp in the back too!! either way, i think its safe to say its been ruined. . . .
Well the cinq i sold to andy is on 15s. Its a 1242 and its defo slower than a normal 1108 sporting on them wheels. That sei, unless it has some poke to go with the show will be very slow indeed.

They certainly feel slower on bigger wheels. But I've never been convinced that this is actually the case (at least, in terms of top end), although you could make a good case for the gearing being buggered up!
My Sei on the 185/55/14s doesn't seem as frantic as a car on 13s (or even one of 195/45/14s) but isn't any slower (as judged by the other traffic) than one of 13s, although the speedo is far more realistic.

well i suppose out and out speed would prob not be an issue. But i know from experience that a 1108 sporting completely stock can out drag that 1242 cinq on 15s.
This could all be due to actual weight of wheels rather than size i suppose. Anyway, i can say it feels slow anyway, alot slower. And requires dropping a gear on the motorway more than a normal one. Reasons are arguable though.

think the moral of this is, if you must put bigger wheels on it, you should look at adding some power . . . . OR at least loose the rear seats and carpet to offset the extra weight of the wheels
