Rat Look or Standard
« on: 05 May 2006, 12:20 »
This car is my daily driver alongside my 16v. Fancy turning it into a rat look golf. The car looks better in this picture but the paint is flaky, dull and the odd rust spot here and there. What ya reckon?

Slammed, smoothed, wide wheels, usually small bumpers, etc.

Up to you matey. I apreciate the coolness of the rat look but everyday people are just gonna think your scruffy. That puts me off.

A couple of years ago, I saw a slammed Mk1 that had ALL the paint removed.. everything gone! and allowed to go rusty... one of the coolest cars I have ever seen.. anyone out there know of it?
