Dacia Logan Tuning

Shrill look for under 200 Euro: reporter Daniela Pemöller and has a Dacia Logan aufgebrezelt.

At the Essen Motor Show 2010 they tested the effect of cheap car decoration. The grin on the bald head behind me on the highway is as wide as the front spoiler of his rally Corsa. The blonde next to him shaking with laughter as she shows her painted fingernail on my tail. I'm on my way to the Essen Motor Show,MX5 Adjustable Coilovers the largest tuning fair in Europe. And then the ride is a special audit. But I will not be deterred, for I have a mission: to enrich the tuning scene. With a Dacia Logan Saloon. Tuned to the Aldi price: less than 200 EUR has cost all that stuff.

 In Car supermarket. But what do the Pimp professionals in food? I park right outside the entrance. The perfect stage for the big show. "But hurry a good jeweler's hand," smirks Jürgen Wiegel man (48) from Brilon, pointing to the rhinestones on the door handle. Since 1984, the Sauerland comes to the Motor Show. But something like my Logan he has never seen - he does not want to actually. "Look, Dad, how beautiful it shines. Can we have?" Asks the little Erik (6) and refers to the grooved mats in aluminum look, the shine through the blue footwell lighting like a disco dance floor. Suddenly a cry. "Nah, I can not believe it! You have a heated steering wheel in zebra look! And the green skull pommel with Brilli eye, ey, cool," said Ferrari fan Wiegel man would. Glad the now really? Or ripped of me now? Exhibition Tour at the Essen Motor Show 2010 No time to think about it. Because at my Carpathian Firecracker missing something essential: a wing!

Without the Logan looks naked. I just decided. For over an hour I'm wrong by the 110,000-square-meter exhibition halls. Instead of big spoilers I see a lot of nachgeschärfter cars - and as brave tuned girls. Besides those I work I despite Leo look and red stilettos as a bigot. Was clear, I'm also the first time here. But I will find them at BMS Racing: A white universal spoiler for 200 Euro. Now I can loose my Logan park with the 24-inch wheels next to the Hummer. This looks like the owner, a guy with a thin ponytail, different. But I must not go away. Finally, his dazzling monster is in camera flashes. My Lidl Logan arouses more sympathy. Avarice has never been cool here. The Luxembourg Laurent Rieff (27) shakes his head pityingly: "performance car parts " And points to the Hummer: "This is awesome tuning!" Sure - probably costs a giant aluminum wheel as much as a used Logan. The best advice gives me truck mechanic Erik Linde (51) from Norway, who are a BMW M3 in his garage: "girl, just do from the frippery is just silly here.." Okay, okay, was only a test ... Note: Logan, stick to your last. And I do. During my ballerinas
