Calling all you Citroen lovers out there...

[Twentymac]

I have a task for you chaps.

Can anyone show me some Citroen C5 slammed action?

If it even exists. I wasnt sure because surely it would be too expensive to take out the hydropneumatic suspenstion out of them.

Long story short a close friend has just inherited a 2006 C5 Estate from his late father and his birthday is coming up. me and a few other lads were thinking of putting together and getting him some euro styled wheels.

He said he's always wantted a euro slammed waggon....


Ive only found this photo so far which makes it slightly sporty

Google:

Citroen C5 styling
Citroen C5 tuning

I suspect dutch and french results will be your best bet.

You have more chance finding a sober Scotsman than Citroen lovers!

Ha yeah i know, its certainly a niche market. You cant include all the saxo loving chavs.

In here maybe, but elsewhere Citroen has a lot of fans.

If I had a need for a diesel saloon for running up and down the motorway I'd be after one of these I think.

'Slamming' your car is all about ruining the way it drives so it looks good stationary. Thankfully with the C5 you can lower the suspension when its parked giving a 'wicked slammed' look whilst retaining the ability to drive normally.

Or you could use 'bags' if your that way inclined.

Why would you do that on a C5? It has standard fit hydraulic suspension!

I meant in general, as a compromise to the ride and the lows, though clearly won't drive as nice and costs a small fortune for such a stupid 'mod'.

Rather like how a C5 works.

Edit: according to RR, the hydro suspension is the LEAST of your worries with these cars.

C5's are 'retro' these days?
