Car good enough to get in french car mag ?



  M135i
A mate suggested contacting french car mag or any magazine for that matter and asking them if they wanted to do an article on my car as he did it a couple of years ago with his clio.

Now i thought it was a rather silly idea as i know its only a 1.2 and isnt the best/most modified car in this country but imo and my mates opinion my clio is better than his old 1 and yet he still got a 1 or 2 page article.

The car is looking nearly exactly how i want it without going down the rep route so after all the effort, money and time gone into the car it would be nice to have a little reward by being in a magazine or even just some professional photos.

I would get it proffesionally detailed by some1 just be4 i went along as its swirl heaven atm

Heres a few piccs of what she looks like.

isnt driving around with wrong size tyres on the car surely "illegal" ?

You have nothing to lose so get in touch and see if you can get it in. IIRC some of the readers rides I've seen in there are not worthy i.e. standard apart from an induction kit etc.

No, quite a few cars come from the factory with bigger wheels (diameter) on the back than they do the front.

Headlights are just angel's, again not to every1's taste on here but i like them and like the fact i can have hids and not kill people with a stupid illegal glare as they drive past

Try it why not?

My old 1.2 was in a magazine too and Meguiars powered me with it;)

you can not loose anything:)
 
Go ahead, why not give it a shot. I'd be surprised if those mags didn't get people sending in a lot worse than yours.

EDIT: Oh and what coilies and spacers are you running?
 
You got a mate who's handy with a camera? Get some high quality shots of it and then the hard part is done for them.

But lose the stickers!!
