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

It looks mean enough!
But if you want to know I think flames look mean

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

Wow mesch covers! I havnt got this catoluge, how much are they?
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!
The Dolly looks pretty mean as is but I'm wondering what else can be done...

debumper it ,slam the suspenion to the floor ,take off the handles and fit solonoids to open door and chop 12 inches off the roof.
