90's modifying scene, what were we thinking????

[bashracing]

These little 90's throw backs keep coming up on eBay now and then,
I know music was better in the 90's but it seems we had terrible car modifying taste.

 

[c4pob]

I'm sure there is a good car hiding under there...somewhere!

 

[DaveDreads]

I think you're under estimating the amount of drugs we were all taking back then.

 

[LeeRS]

Wish I had a pic of my old redtop Clio. Haha.

I know him very well. We were good mates at one point, but don't see him so much now. Yeah used to go up there a few times tbh as I did my college block release up at burslem college.

I had a white nova gsi and then moved on to a red Astra gsi. Don't know of the ones you've mentioned mate I'm afraid. The lad with the cav turbo also had a nova turbo in black if it's the same one I'm thinking of.

Lol was mint! Sainsburys car park drifting/doughnutting area lol

 

[182Trophy]

There were so many young people into cars back then. Kind of sad that that has died off and the majority of people of the same age these days aspire to be like towie et al. Hang out in coffee shops and stand about drinking champagne.

 

[dangerous dave]

We have Jamie shaw from pimp my ride UK to thank for that body kit...

My Renault 5 ready for a trip to the painters.. Only been nearly 6 years sat in the garage..

The rolling road b4/after graph in the background was a private joke..

Graph looks good! Lol!

 

[peedee]

I would say a lot of this stuff is early 00's rather than the 90's. No thanks to films like F&F and Ali G indahouse. Early 00's was all about big lairy bodykits, under car neons, ridiculous sound systems and big wheels on small cars.

Wtf were we thinking lol!

 

[Mr Plums]

Damn right lol!

Ah another blast from the past, I met him at Donny car show circa 15 years ago, He looked like an ugly Mick Hucknall, but had a tidy missus and a TVR Cerebra, Although it was in Huggy Bear gold,
He's should be brought to trial for crimes like that.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Not 90s but early 00s

Very rarely do I see anything bodykitted now.

Have a drive through Bradford, it's stuck in 1999 which coincidentally is when most peoples cars there were last insured.

I think young people are still into cars, but now they all buy BMW/Audi/Merc with less desirable (small) engines and de-badge them so they can attempt to look baller - it's all about image, but whereas back then it was about being individual, now it's all about being the same.

"Mate, it's a 318d..."

 

[CrippsCorner]

I remember lusting after the Combat Kit when I was in school!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Flycatcher saxo vts was a proper pussy magnet back then.

My mate had a combat kit for his corsa b but it was a 5 door in that hideous blue/purple with a 1.0 12v...

 

[McGherkin]

They looked s**t back then too.

What happened was that you all grew up.

 

[just-that-ek]

This thread brings back memories of me buying all the mags

Remember this was my fav

Wanting this body kit when i was 14 [emoji51]

Remember reading about this

Oh how times have changed

 

[DaveDreads]

That last one looks like a joke birthday cake.

f**k me they look w**k!

 

[bashracing]

google MAX POWER, there's no wonder we all had constant semi's as teenagers

 

[scotty2hotty81]

I dare say in 10/20 years time there will be a thread on the "stance" look what were we thinking?

Or we could do one now?

 

[Jekyll]

There was also a phase of having the biggest and most dustbin style exhausts out of your rear bumper!

That's got to be a joke, even back then that abortion would get laughed at.
