[J03]

erm i dont get it?

 

[Mark One]

it's a rat look clio, pretty badly done imho. Don't see why it's ironic?

 

[2thumbs]

*yawn*

It's a 24hr petrol station.....that's closed.

Yes it's a sh!t looking 'rat' clio, but who cares? Take it with a large pinch of salt and laugh at it.

 

[MazzaR26]

Yea but you can pay at the pump on those ones, so they still work??

 

[Revels]

lol, I dont care about the dodgy Clio but H(ow)TF are we supposed to tell its closed?

Just admit you wanted another 84 pages on how youve ruined your car

[Englebert]

Get some turbines and a roof rack on it...

 

[J03]

why dont u do it properly and rust the whole bonnet and slam it on some quality dishes?! u can make any car look good if you do it properly, if thats what your after it might acutally look good, infact i might do a photoshop lol

 

[Reyes]

and then you get the odd fool that says "I like it."

 

[Leeshez]

Oh dear me. The rust need treating LOL.

Pay-at-Pump was closed as well.

 

[2thumbs]

heres a quickie but you get the idea..

That looks FDM tyte y0!

I really hope it passes the MOT now.

 

[Keano]

i dont think its ironic either.

inconveniant perhaps. false advertising at a push. ironic no.

 

[J03]

u can go along way with that, u dont have to spend much as its rat your after.. some good rims, slammage and ya sorted.

A dam nice photo I must admit

 

[Bubbles]

*edit* just saw your post about the Pay at pump being out of order...

 

[LFCJosh]

how the hell was anyone sposed to tell its shut.

you need a roof rack too

 

[guysy]

Does look quite s**t.

2nd photoshop with it on new alloys and full rusted bonnet looks better.

 

[Tucker]

why dont you actually make it rat look. that would look cool.

rather than just having a rusty bonnet.

side strips off, wipers off, slam it and put it on rat wheels, not just s**t wheels

get yourself some cool burgundy leather seats without headrests and a f**k off CB radio antenna and your starting to look modified, that just looks like an oldish clio with a rusty bonnet

 

[gsums]

i dont thinnk i will EVER understand why anyone wants to rust their bonnet. no matter how low or how smart the wheels it is still gonna look S**T.





pointless imo.

 

[Cookie]

Looks like someones poured brake fluid over the bonnet.. why would you do that

I'll bet they drank some of it too, to give their insides the rat look

 

[DrR]

What a f**king shed, oh.......

 

[Marky_]

Should have got the closed sign in the picture tbh. Looks open to us.

 

[J03]

cmon now lads its only an mk1 clio, its not an elise or whatever is it. its just another style on the streets.. think it as n art lol... i think it was mainly that ratted astravan esate and jimmys corsavan with chequered steelies that really kicked of this rat buisness

 

[Jamie]

I guessed it was closed - wasn't much else it could be really.

 

[J03]

OH i can also say... i reckon vinyle wrapped/patterned/colourful dished wheels will be the highlight of 09... dub boys are already experimenting with the idea and it could kick off with other various themes too..

Where did all this rat styling business start from? What is suppose to represent?

Still rather be see in that than the Lustymobile though.

Kinda get it now, outside like its about to die, inside like new?

sort off.. if u have a look at most of them its a rust bucket on the outside apart from the wheels are very distinctive and unique, the nakerd look is done purposely and not weathered to look like that, rat look is very individual, say for example, that rusty astravan, rusty bonnet with a bonnet bra, thats the ironic thing behind it.. no so much sleepers i wouldnt say... just distinctive things on the car ud spot and think' ohyeah' if done right, but if you look at a poor example ud think, wtf is that peice of heap..

 

[Jaws]

Chris,

I LOVE it. I think I might do it to my 182 tbh.
