I quite like the Golf but it just doesn't look right on an otherwise new car, makes no sense!

 

[cat171]

^agreed.

It's looks hideously crap. A complete waste of time, plus within half an hour it could be put back to standard too.

 

[anthrogan]

People and their opinions lol... I quite like the rat style tbh. I 'appreciate' other types of modding but im not really a fan, were as this i really am!

 

[Ian_182]

Christophers car was a rat for a few days until he saw sense

couldn't be furthur from the truth. There's as much work in doing a rat-look resto build as there is in a concourse build. I've spent hours helping get shutlines on rare buses perfect. One in particular had the both chassis legs snapped when the floorpan resto was started. Making sure you have the right original parts for the year in the right colour, artificially ageing painted repairs to blend new and old and finding rare accessories is not as easy as just stripping some paint off and waiting for the rust to come. It's an artform doing it right and most of the vehicles are exceptionally well built and cared for.
