in my opinion rat look should be left to the aircooled lot. and i think if more modern cars are made to 'look' rat look, they often look like they are trying to be rat look. its a hard thing to pull of and get right. at the end of the day if you want to spend effort getting your car looking a certain way i can't see the point in wasting all that time to make it look crap.
i also think alot of people go rat look as its an easy way to give you car a 'style' when all you have to do is a bit of bothced painting and throw a load of crap at it....

I think some of those rat look MKII's look pretty damn cool, some of the others just look like old MKII's I see on my way to work everyday!

I think you have to put this subject into context! there are cars out there that are completely beyond restoring, what many of them do have though is an MOT.. and thats its lifeline to be on the road for a couple more years, VWs, and thats all VWs seem to get away with this look, and its not as easy as you might think to get the desired effect.. and I believe that there is space in ALL of the VW scene for people to go in that direction, and make no mistake, some of the biggest, and most photographed crowd pullers at Stanford last weekend were ratted dubs! not everyone has 50-60k to throw a 23 window split  :cool:
