Lazy owners, who want a fast car but dont want to keep it looking great. Thats my theory. Looks crap though

it doesnt offend me any more than a lot of councilled up bodykitted e30s do.

it's a cheap old car, why not have a bit of fun.

not something i would personally do, i'm not really a fan of the engineered false ratlook, but love the proper evolutionary type
cheers,

I like it too. :D

I reckon a sleeper in this guise would be awesome. Real crappy shell looking as bad as that with a monster under the bonnet ready to whoop anything in the traffic light grand prix. That would have to be a giggle. :snigger:

Proper rats can carry it off, I'm with harry_p on this one- an engineered one looks cr@p where as a proper time fuct one put on the road unrestored and done right can look real kool 8)

love it! ditch the rubbish on the roof rack and the pickaxe and snowchains and it'd be a pretty awesome look....rust makes nice stripes!

I'm getting ideas already!.......it only works on lighter colours though really...

i like the rat look. not to keen on strate lines of rust but a naturaly neglated looking car. driping with rust is kind of cool.
