How do you make a Dolomite look meaner?

How do I go about making my Dolomite look meaner? (the wing mirrors are staying!) I plan to lower it but what else could I do that doesn't make it look tacky but a bit more sporting :)

Until you remove those awful wing mirrors then you have more chance of making Frank Spencer look mean. :lol:

Remove the bumpers!

I got the rimmers catalogue through today...new in are mesh covers for the headlights.

Aside from Lewis' suggestion (although I would go with Blue) putting the rear suspension back to normal will make it look a bit meaner. Failing that, drop the front to match.

Look at what Mr Speedy has done to his Spitfire! You'd find it hard to belive tht beneath it all it's a girly Spitfire! :P The Dolly looks pretty mean as is but I'm wondering what else can be done...
