I suppose I am going to get hate for what I did for giggles to a spare knackered bonnet a couple of years ago.



Bonnet bra for Ironic statement purposes.  Even dared to take it to UD10 like that:



Its long gone now though:  http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=217619.0

Its easy to be negative about "Modern Rat", seems a lot of folks will just cover something in rust/hazard tape/kick in a few panels and feel it acceptable to call rat.  But there are a few modern rat cars that are more like art forms/extensions of the owners personality that I love.

My friend Amy's Polo for example.  For those of us who know her, know that "Patzi" the polo is almost an extension of Amy's personality and certainly a form of self expression....







And this is from the girl who has also built this:



Which started off in her hands as a rusty purple shell...

It is always going to be a highly contentious subject to broach, I find it best to adopt a "to each their own" attitude.

Ahh, Ratta's Two face. Another one of the Rat car's I like, although I am sure folks will be queueing up to scream "sacrilege"!
