I'm Making a Rat-Look Clio..... Any advice??

[Daniel]

I was thinking of 13 inch steels, 60mm lowered suspension, 25mm spacers, rusted bonnet, roofrack, and the usual stickers/livery/french plates.

Any more ideas? Anyone got any pics of Rat look Clio's??

Here is my starting point (massive thanks to Sym0n, Its mechanicals are like brand new!!)

Any pointers, i'd be very grateful.

That was a bargain that.
Needs to be decked, I would hand paint it nato green, steelies with white wall tyres would look good, needs to be a chrome roof rack really.

 

[Daniel]

I'm liking your style!!

Keep it coming!!

Remove the paint from the bonnet and let it rust!

Please read the 13th/14th words in my post! (flol! :rasp

Coilies and custom springs are the only way dude. Has to be slammmmmmmed.

And a matt colour, nato green is nice too.

Rusted deep dish steeles with streach, maybe open bonnet for shows/rusted bonnet.

Stickers all over the back.

 

[Daniel]

Nato green, like this?

It looks f**king wicked!!!

 

[Pep]

Advice : Don't.

The end.

 

[J03]

make it look similar to jimmys old van and uve got it!

 

[Android]

im with pepsi on this one im afraid.

 

[Daniel]

Advice : Don't.

The end.

Why you say that??

What else am I going to do with it??

 

[Jay Payne]

Just '172' it and leave as is. would be an awsome sleeper

 

[J03]

as with the green... that car now looks like this:

 

[Skinny]

Tbh if it was anyone else i'd say the same, but dan has cars coming out of every hole, so why the f**k not, might as well when you've got loads of other cars.

Yep if your struggling they stock it at Landrover specialists.

 

[Inferno]

I don't get the rat thing, but if you're going for 13" steels - make sure they are banded. They look ace!

 

[Inodaz]

as said nato green matt paint,
smoothed and c/c'd,
matt black banded steelies w/ nato lip possibly - chrome wheel bolts,
matt black roof,
matt black fuel flap,
slam it,
rust bonnet,
wooden and chrome roof rack,
nato green jerry can in roof rack! (or poss hay barrel?!)

 

[Skinny]

 

[Jay Payne]

Thats fooking ace!

 

[alex-avfc]

Set of Ronal Turbo's? Lower it? Fill the roof-rack with luggage lol. Would be well on your way

Like the idea by the way

 

[Inferno]

I wouldn't rust the bonnet, I'd try to get some tallented graffiti artist to give it a going over, then leave it un-laquered for a flat look. Rust things like the wipers and trim if you must.

 

[.GAZ.]

I was gony buy that wee van but was too far away!

 

[Skinny]

You could get someone to tag over it, or graffiti as above, like old cars/vans you find in paris. Looks mentally cool imo.

I was going to get either the roof or drivers door Graf'd.

 

[Skinny]

See above. Roof would look sweet.

I'll try and find some of my pics, i always stop when i see a van/car like that in paris, i've got loads somewhere.

 

[The Boosh!]

Dan..

You are random...

And awesome. A rat look clio in the forum would be amazing!

 

[Mark One]

Glue the diamond on squint

 

[AlexG]

put the plates on at an angle
oildrum, small bike, hay bail on the roof rack
slammed so it always scrubs
dished steelies. paint the dish a wild colour and leave the rest to rust.
chalkboard bonnet
trotters independant traders stickers up the side lol?

someone seen the latest Fastcar Cover car then?

dude, this could be done so well, will have a chat about it.

 

[VeinAST]

Decked on its arse, I'd go for ATS cups, maybe a different coloured wing and then deck the back out in luxurious chipboard?

Try and get it RL Prima spec'd in the front too. My mk1 was the most basic of basics..

 

[Daniel]

I'm not having alloys on it. No way pedro.

My current plan (since starting this thread) is now wide 13/14 inch steels on white wall tyres. Flat green paint, rusted bonnet, as low as it will go, (within reason, I still need to get into work! lol) Many many 'rat' stickers in the rear window, and a 'Ratvan' motif on the rear side windows/panels, french plates, and a stupid upwards exhaust.

I'm getting firm just typing this!!

 

[Skinny]

Your missus must love you letting you spend money on this.

YOu mean a zorst like that one on rages new golf?

Front bumper needs to be changed imo. Not sure what to. As said better roof rack also.

 

[Ali]

It's already done.

 

[powey]

what about some stubby style mirrors?

Chequered stickers incorporated somewhere

 

[Inferno]

someone seen the latest Fastcar Cover car then?

Actually no - will be taking a look now though, because you've made me curious!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

i wanted this as well but you beat me to it wasted now. lol It could have been carrying renault spares around instead

My Mrs?? She has no idea how much money I spunk on cars!! Lets keep it that way!

Zorst? Yes, Rage gave me the idea.

 

[Hutchie]

you git i wanted it for its engine for a customer

 

[Daniel]

You're all too slow.

I'd bought it within 29 minutes of it going up for sale. Simon was/is a top guy too. 300 miles and 6 hours later, she's my daily drive

 

[Winston]

I also had it in mind lol.. So cheap... I bought a Mk2 Golf GTD instead

TBH.. think its a bad idea... no need to force the rat
