Doesn't look so crazy when you see this. If a few cheap mods can save many £'s throughout the year on a daily car that looks crap anyway (no offence!) then why not. Just don't do it to 300 which has as we all know, perfect aerodynamics already

Actually 300 has better aerodynamics than ZX, which is quite surprising, but that it is how it is by cdA, ZX has more frontal area and cd is about the same, bit ridiculous when you look at them.

I would think that when you have car which kind there are 13 in a dozen, then it really does not matter, but when car is bit more rare, like low mileage 300 (or 300 in any form these days), then modding should not be done.

Looking to to some Autocross soon, so instead of getting a comp licence and some grass tyres, I instead fon a wheel and boss. And a sticker.

Driving positions much improved.

looking good mate!

nice wheel

I actually reckon this must be a fun little car... it looks like a late spec diesel or something so I bet you can surprise a few people

It's the most fun I've had with a car dude (so far). Exploding off the line it leaves some very surprised and confused faces.
They always catch up by 70-80 though. And there's always a smile.

An XS would make an awesome autocross car

If you want a cheaper way in bud, autotesting/autosolos dont require the helmets, nat b, overalls etc. It'll get you hooked, but they only cost about £15 per event so you can play before buying everything else!

that wheel looks great!, colour coded interior!
never seen those headlamp protector's before on a 205, looks great.
the 205 kinda looks like a wee van or something could easily be a diesel at first look,, stickerz are good laff too!
jtbo's citroen

Cool idea mate. Best get that V5 sent off if you wanna compete though! Does it need to be MSA log booked too? Much better steering wheel FTW.

Nah, the local club (as far as I gather) do a standard 1400< class as an entry level job. Run with bigger boys but it's timed runs rather than a race. Unless I'm reading it wrong you just need a lid, grass tyres and a licence. Really must get to the club and enquire further. The Autocrossing seems to be the thing you need the least to compete in.

Regs here clicky

You are.

I suck at skim reading.
Guess Chris is fully right then.

Talk to them mate, we can all speculate but those are the guys who scruit the cars.

Ask them about auto solos in the area whilst you talk to them and autotests too (I just have a feeling solo's will be more your thing!)

Wise words duly noted dude.
Cheers.
