Well? Surely I'm not the only one who thinks a lowered matiz on wide 15"s would be the height of coolness?

Had one of these gems on hire in Cyprus over Christmas...95mph with both feet on the loud pedal Not too sure about lowering one, but it could do with another cylinder

Oops.. thought this was the Max Power forum..

If your going to put big wheels on, you might aswell go 16"s not like your going to lose much performance (You can't lose what you ain't got

Thumbs up

Thanks guys. Winner of the best response award goes to CooperS. Like the comment about 16s, too - gearing might as well be f*cked 'cos there's no go to take away.

On balance then it looks like it's a bit of a non-starter: Gary 0, Sceptics 1. Still, every innovator has his knockers.

I guess I might just have to stick with the clio cup for a while longer until I get a better idea than the matiz one.

You need:
1x bottle of vodka
1x cloth rag
1x box of matches.

Instructions:
1. Open vodka bottle and insert rag halfway into the neck.
2. Wait 5 mins for the vodka to soak up through the rag.
3. Light the rag with your matches.
4. Throw the bottle as hard as you can at the car.

Behold - one modded Matiz!
