Styling my bravo

[toxic]

i don't think bravo's are made to put surfing gear in! lol a van would be a lot better for that indeed!!

i've been on vacation in spain for a few weeks (with my bravo) and i took some great pic's over there!!!

this 1st pic is at Gir-acc, a tuning shop/club in Girona, they really have everything you can imagine for your car!!!

a couple of their showcars:

(my bravo in the background )

and there are many more!

and a couple of pic's of my ride

they must have got a special deal on those chrome wing mirrors, they're on every car

is that blue thing with a carbon bonnet really a stilo? big improvement if it is.

lol you're a loser if you have'nt got chrome mirrors in spain!!!!
almost every tuned car has them

is that blue thing with a carbon bonnet really a stilo? big improvement if it is.

yes that really is a stilo!! I met the owner last year and he told me about Gir-acc and their club, so that's why i went to visit the shop this year.
some more pic's of the stilo (i made them last year)

I didn't see the stilo this year because the owner had an accident (not with the stilo btw) and for as far as i could understand he died. (but i'm not shure they didn't really speak english over there) They only use the car for shows now.

hey man , greatings from bulgaria - great ride u have! i`m just wondering , if i`m not mistaking your bravo is 1.4 12v , haven`t you experienced any problems with 17" rims. I have Bravo 1.6 16v with 16" and i can feel the lack of power when i accelerate.

I have Bravo 1.6 16v with 16" and i can feel the lack of power when i accelerate.

many people say similar things, and i've experienced the same problems myself more than once. its harder to turn a bigger wheel so the engine will struggle to accelerate the car as quickly. on a 1.4 or 1.2 bravo you have limited performance to start off with, so sticking big wheels on isnt a good idea imo, unless you dont care about performance.

the less power (torque is more important actually) your engine has the more noticable the loss of acceleration is. i've got a 1.8 but i'd still be unwilling to fit anything larger than 16", and even 16s would have to be fitted with 45 profile tyres or less. i've got 15s with 50 profile tyres, so the overall diameter is smaller than the standard tyres, making it easier for the engine. boyracers may laugh at my tiny wheels, but they soon stop smiling when they get left behind

big wheels look good, but you have to get the right balance between style and performance. some people prefer style, personally i prefer performance, but we're all different.

My 17"s with the low profile tyre have a smaller circumferance than the 15"s had!
Didn't realise till I was putting the 15"s back on and had to jack the car further up to get them on!
