Dont be stupid, this is the funniest thing i have seen all day!

A new way of doing rat! yerr right, what a sack!

its not rat.

anything post 1970 that 'tries' to be rat look is a poor and lazy attempt at modifying. in my opinion of course.

if i'm honest you would have been sooooo much better off spending whatever money you've spent so far on a set of matching wheels and -60mm lowering springs and then given the car a wash and polish. you'd be surprised the impact the right set of wheels can have on any car when fitted correctly with a ride height to match.

if you ask me, and this is a public forum so you must be looking for some kind of feedback, being crazy and different to get noticed never works when it comes to cars. getting whatever mods you do to match and work with each other is the key. you dont need money, just patience and a vision.

I hope not

He prefers the correct ride height as he can go over all the bumps in the road, up kerbs and drive without having to worry about removing his front splitter like my golf now on my 3rd splitter on the golf. he like the 16"s on the back and 15" on the front dont ask why he loves them so much.

And explain to me why on a rat look forum there a lot of after 1970's cars done in rat and it might be cheaper but isnt lazy, it a different way of modding with only a few limited rules i.e keeping it road worthy etc

If you havent seen the news lately then you would understand!

had to keep the bonnet still on the fire so used the wheels to hold it in place

Could you not have just laid the bonnet on the fire..? Pretty sure it wouldnt have moved then?

Can't believe I asked that..

we wanted to rotate upside down to burn as much as possible before taking for a some bonnet surfing

are you f*****g dead in the brain? since when has 'ratlook' been expensive?

THIS CAR IS NOT EFFING RATLOOK YOU EFFING IDIOT.

you have painted it, which is COMPLETELY the opposite to ratlook, and you have put the bonnet on a fire. thats not 'ratlook' its more 'itriedtobedifferentbutimacompleteidiotandhavenoideawhatiamdoinlook'

wow if the new rat look is painting a sack of sh*t orange i think my van would win hands down i just havnt washed it for 3 mounths even cheaper than paying for paint
instead of burning the bonnet you should of just set fire to the whole thing would of looked better

I think Billy needs to post a pic of his old Mk2 for Ben and his mates to get the right idea about what is more "rat style"

stickers can be expensive, so can alloy wheels and roof racks.

and i think you ll find that rat mean you can do anything to make it look ratty and there no guide lines

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

stickers ratlook? roofrack ratlook, and alloys WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT you have NO clue what rat look is at all, this is why ratlook suck major dick now, every thinks as soon as you put a roofrack on and stickers its a ratlook car, do some f*****g research mate.

and tbh ian my mk2 wasnt a real rat, but at least it looked ratty.

by the very fact you've quoted a forum called rat-look.com highlights the problem with todays interpretation of rat. a corsa with a rusty bonnet is not rat. a beetle decked with a roof rack isnt rat. billy's rusty mk2 on steels with zero ground clearance wasnt rat, it looked awesome but wasnt rat.

i've only used pre 1970 as an example because to me (remember this is all my opinion and open to individual interpretation and errors. i'm not wikipedia) a true rat car is someone taking an old beater or barn find and using what they've got lying around to get it back on the road and stand out. they dont need to bare metal it because its already rusty. its function over form, its running and on the road. just.

there are no rules to modifying your car no matter what look or style your after. its your car, you call the shots. you dont have to justify it either, when people ask me why i've built my car so i can't use 68% of the queens highway or any multistorey carpark i reply - "because i like it and it makes me smile" end of.

i dont have a problem with the orange golf, fair play for getting stuck in. the problem i have is all the excuses and labels being used.

there are no written rules to rat, there are no guidelines to modifying (apart from how close to the law you wanna get)

i have to agree with billy on every level.

the funniest thing about this whole thread and the one thing that makes me bow down and salute you (with no sarcasm what-so-ever) is the amount of replies and views its had. which lets be honest is the whole reason we start build threads.

whatever you wanna class it as its got peoples attention. so well done.

hahahahahah WTF? and whats with the trainers in the front? cant believe no one has said anything about them yet!

i wish to facepalm this thread.

i agree, it was pretty much spare of the moment thing, i wanted to paint it my bro said raw it, i laughed next day we started . tbh i wish i never rawed it, i think it would have looked awesome still mint and that low.

to me a rat car is anything that has naturally weathered. any make any year as long as its naturally faded/rusted etc.

i wasnt dogging on your mk2 dude, you know i have much love for the pics i've seen of it, was just using it as an example.

naturally weathered. i like that definition.

yea i know you werent

yea naturally weathered is good, but Patina is way better

this thread is sooooooooooo funny. what makes it funny is that you dont see why people are taking the pissssss. i dare you to take the orange wagon on stage at edition38 this year

im not going to get started on the what is rat etc. im with billy, and once i get ranting the bar will be raised, mine n billys rod pics will be out and your thread will officialy be hijacked
