Exactly..."You" just don't see the point as others might not too. Does'nt mean it is'nt good or does'nt belong somewhere.

im not closed minded i just dont see the point of putting all that hard work into making a car show standered under the skin but to make it look tatty on the outside.

as already said yeah they get alot of looks but i bet the drivers of the rat rides miss read the looks as people thinking its cool rather than what they are actually thinking.

i remember when i first started seeing the rusty bonnet look. it was on some really nice car but a rusty bonnet and i never understood why they felt the need to do it.

its like going out and buying a really nice armani suit then flicking sh!t on it and walking around thinking it looks good.

You either get it or you don't ..........

I still think the mk3 is too new to be 'rat', the mk2 just about gets in there but ideally should be older stuff and thats just my opinion.

No Golf suits rat look, should be left to the air cooled stuff.

i can see some mixed bag opinions on here about the rat look just to clarify im not going mental with the rat look maybe more subtle touches bonnet bit of a roof rack and suchi will be going for some mental stance and camber could do with some info on maximum offsets and such its not a daily driver but would like it to be drivable if u catch my drift

but either way thanks for ur opnions guys defo more friendlu than the my mk4 is better than urs lot
aum no spec as no matter what i do il never be happy

I think the mk2 can carry it off better than the mk1.

Maybe but to do it to a mk1 is criminal to me.
