If anyone who has replaced the oem rims could post some photos that would be great! width and size would also be awesome and anything to look out for when changing sizes<img src="styles/copenworld/xenforo/smilies/emoticon-0100-smile.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" /> Thanks!!]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Has anybody changed the seats in their copen? I&#039;ve found a set of bride seat rails but I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;d look good with different seats. Ideally I&#039;d be going for either red or black seats to keep the interior colours the same and is it possible to mount harnesses as my seat belts barely retract anymore. <br />

I have been looking to get a bit more shove from my little 660 Copen. I have read that I can&#039;t get it remapped without removing the ecu and sending it off to Germany. So I have been searching the Internet and came across this D Sport ecu:<br />

I ve got a 2008 1.3 Copen. I have developed a neurological problem with my leg so I have to drive an automatic from now on. I really do love the Copen, so Im looking if there is a way to convert it to automatic. I&#039;m pretty sure there weren&#039;t any automatic cars imported where I live (Greece) so i am checking to see whether it is possible to use an automatic gearbox from a Sirion or Cuore, which I suspect would be using similar parts.<br />
Any ideas if this is even possible?]]></content:encoded>

We have A LOT of speed bumps in my country, and I would love a softer ride.<br />
A thought I had was softer suspension with longer travel, i.e. lifting the car.<br />
I like how the Porsche 911 Dakar looks, and wouldn&#039;t mind a similar look on my Copen if it meant I could get a softer ride.<br />
Any thoughts?<br />
Has it already been done?`<br />
<br />
Also, I removed some foam from the seat but I would still like more headroom.<br />
Has anyone replaced the seat rails with just a fixed mount?<br />

it took me almost two month but finally finished. <br />

Now the copen has a healty 107HP. <b>Getting moving and accelerating faster!</b><br />

This modification is not an easy swap. New engine block has an almost identical cast iron base, but it&#039;s height is + 2.5cm.  Valve ports are bigger also, so better performance.<br />
