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

[Mr Burns]

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?

Stance cars are just as tacky/tasteless, and we'll definitely be looking back in disgust... Many of them are pretty hideous in 2015.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

"Stance" spend thousands to make your car look broken.

 

[dangerous dave]

The worst Saxo kit was due to a max power competition where people sent in their designs.. The winner would get the first kit for his car and then they would sell the kit design..

The devil'io or somesh1t kit was born..

 

[Cookie]

I was in love with this thing

 

[DaveDreads]

Was that because it's Jewish racing gold?

 

[dangerous dave]

I was in love with this thing

He chased that up with the Porsche, I'm sure there are pics somewhere on Google..

 

[dangerous dave]

I just read that he was raided and arrested for drugs and stuff.. Hahaha

 

[AdDaMan]

That was Jamies creation wasnt it. Oh those days... @JonnyK

Yes

 

[Jekyll]

I used to love anything by Veilside when I was at school.

The Max Power and Fast Car days - when they would feature a 1.2 Nova with an air filter and a Peco exhaust!

Tried topping himself as well did he not?

The days of southend cruises, followed up by basildon strip. Clio and metros.

 

[AdDaMan]

Good days.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

I love these style threads! Lol.

Is this what you mean by stance, make your car look broken? Local polo=

Epic fail. Its 5 door too.

As mentioned. Early 00s are equally bad! Got to love a v6 rep fail. I've found mainly clio examples because were on CS.
00s

Winner for most money wasted on creating an insanely ugly dash =

90s.

Lol at the hulk. Exhaust nice though[emoji14]

This is what defined 90s tat for me =

Not a fan of stance etc. But I know for a fact in 15 years I'll never think stance is worse than the 90s style above! Lol.

Not a lot has changed, now all you need is a golf on air with some different wheels or an astra vxr with a map and exhaust and it will get a feature lol.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

When I think bodykits from 90s I always remember the name Delta. Just search "Delta body kit modified" etc. Its horrific, and luckily even back then I thought the same. They look like they've been in an accident! A slash cut bumper thing.... wtf?

Then stumbled upon this amazing creation.

I Realise some of those are 80s cars.... Buts it's 90s mods

 

[Lal B3N]

This was at Modified nationals still back in 2010 or so, pretty sure it won too. Pile of shite.

 

[just-that-ek]

There was a few body kitted dumps at FCS this year, mainly the yellow v6 rep what a piece of sh1t

That would be the one with the Chandelier in the boot?

These abortions are mostly from the 00's, when I used to read Max Power as a kid in the mid 90's the cars very rarely had bodykits and 17" wheels were seen as insanely huge. It was mostly about engine swaps and ICE, the only bodykits were the insanely wide Reiger & Dimma kits.

The bodykits cost too much for most people to afford so they were only really on show cars and the Max Power project cars that you could enter to win.

tbh that Astra with the Dimma Kit looks sweet! lol

I was thinking the same.

Christ.

My eyes hurt.

Think it has group B writen all over it.

 

[_Tom]

All I wanted when I was 15 was a corsa with a combat kit..haha! Hell even my first valver got 17's fitted to it.

Roller skate look.

The reason they cost so much was someone made the effort with the design and they weren't fibre glass, the were rock hard plastic abs (is it what it's called)

In a world of body kits they were the least best, but the owners could still use decent quality parts make you vomit..

 

[Stay Puft]

I remember there being a corsa B around my area with I think 12 exhaust pipes, in a triangle formation.

I can't believe it took all this time for Lusty's car to be posted.

 

[dablk]

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

Last time i was on leeds road near pudsey there was a mk2 astra with a whale tail.

 

[cat171]

I saw a five door Escort Cossie the other day :coldsweat: Lol!! it was maroon, with one alloy on the back & a steel on the front. The dude had some stupidly loud exhaust on it & tinted up back lights.
I laughed.

(I know there is no such thing as a five door Escort Cos lol!)

They were still in business a short while ago, they'd moved on to kitting out luxury people carriers / Merc vans now.

Oh God..... Minus the bonnet I love the Astra. Lol.
Providing it had the engine to equal the dramatic bodywork.

Like the bmw too, minus the graphics. Has a touring car look to it.

 

[Jack!]

I really like that? Change the headlights and that'd look great, even today.

 

[cat171]

I quite like that Astra too, minus the cossie rear spoiler though!

 

[thedjse]

That Astra is Mattig and is worth 0000's if you can find one.

I remember most of this car from the scene when i went to the various car shows as a kid. Growing up i wants a Punto with Lambo doors and a massive body kit lol.

 

[Inequality Street]

Kind of glad I'm too young to have been around for this.

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Loved my RT back in the day! Fox Racing Wheels and 90s spoiler, yO!

 

[dablk]

My Rt was my mums, didnt get to add to it... however would love to spray a 182 in the same green for a trip to memory lane.
