what is euro thread

[Laura]

ok so its been annoying me for a while,
ive noticed as the euro trend has grown in the uk lots of people seem to be getting it very wrong about euro tuning and somewhat distorting the look

now i understand that each country takes thier own twist of each look and tuning is what ever you want it to be.

However i have experience euro 1st hand traveling across europe to go to a number of shows.

id just like to clear up a few things, im sure winston n the like will help me along the way.

wheels:

anything bigger than say ermm 16" is not strickly euro, they are usually smaller than standard

if its got a polished lip it doesnt make it euro

lets see if this thread takes off before i go any further, i just dont want the euro look to become comercialised.

as a belgium dude said to me " its not about adding to the car its about taking it away"

Thought the belgians were partial to airbrushing bloody filler flaps, dashboards, engine covers etc :dead:

mk1 golfs are the best for euro. i decked mine on coilovers it was on 15s tho but i took off the bumpers and arches, added euro rear arch gards single pod head lights sorted, euro looker. its now riding round on 13inch ats classics, and looks propper euro

Euro is:

As low as possible
No clearance between arches and tyres
Smoothed everything
Deep Dish Wheels
Stretched Tyres
DTM or tiny wingmirrors
Centre or Side Exit exhaust

IMHO

Anyone got any pics of these?

 

[Bluebeard]

VW's and Audi's are the only cars that can carry off Euro look properly imo

Must admit I agree with Ollie CUP, I'm not keen on the 'Euro' look either, too many smooth surfaces and DTM mirrors for my liking.

The 'Euro Look' seems to pull it off better on the old skool VW's, mercs and anything else german, but for some reason that I can't quite place, even though the mk2 ph1 and newer are designed curvy, the clio doesn't suit it imo.

Just my opinion btw.

As said before, euro is meant for old school vw's. Nowaday anyone with a lowered car can claim their car is 'euro'
