Opinions on rat look?

[JackJack]

Considering doing it to my car.
The golf 1.6 I have now is only a little run around for a year or two while I save up some cash for a decent car.
Some of the body work isn't particularly great, would probably need a respray to get it looking great again.
So was thinking lowering it on coilovers, some decent steel wheels, maybe rust the bonnet or wing as well as a few small quirks like a wonky vw badge, broken blanks etc etc

rat look for the sake of rat look is not good.

why not do the above but go for a rattle can paint job?

Rat look is

If your body work isn't great then roller it a Matte colour, will look much better than it ratted and will still be something a little different

so basically you want attention to your car but to cheap to do anything decent to it.
wonky badge, broken what ever are pieces of sh!t!
sooooo manypeople "rat" their car thinking yea its rat look when really its just utter sh!t look.
rust? why make your car look worse its not going to stand out as so many people have done it.
same as matt black or chalk paint.. i make the effort to ask the person are they still living in 2009

if you want to really rat the golf then at least do something different.
i did a "nurat" car for 2009 show season but did it to a 2 year old c2... hell me and my friend started the ratting a new car look!
this was mine


mine was different.

What Dom said, get some matte paint such as nato green or brown or even red! Then roller it on with a roller
