    My C70

    little pic of the C70. thinking it needs to be a little lower and a bit noisier on the exhaust. what is too large for a tailpipe? my brother is looking at building me an exhaust and has a nice stainless rolled 4" tailpipe, but is that too large? Name:  IMG_2818_edited-1.jpg

    Never to large. Give it a fat one!
    Agreed a bit lower will make it look cool, also maybe paint the wheels darker?
    C70geoffs is a tidy example if you need styling tips.
    Where is he lately?

    Lower with darker wheels is a good first step. I'd go for a 4" x 3" oval tailpipe for effect without looking like a wannabe ricer.

    I spoke to Geoff a while ago and he's busy changing job, moving house and looking after his health (had a few scares in the last few months) but he's still got the C70, he fitted a tasty head unit recently, with orange lights and orange I-Ponce connection

    Good coz he's sound & I love his saffy long time.
    He never updated us with his lads ford ka.

    Not sure on an oval tailpipe Martin, ricers around here tend to have a slash cut pipe with a rather large box.

    My nephew has one on his 1.1 saxo. I've tried telling him but he's 16 & you know it's all about girth when your that age.

    I love the number plate!

    Ive got a 4.5" outward rolled... a few on here take the piss
    But everyone else says it sounds better than theirs lol
    To be fair the 6x4 fits much better to the bumper
    850 coilovers fit the C

    Hopefully my C shall be a different color by the end of today
