Ive been thinking about doing this ever since i bought the touring , now i have mot'ed it and im seriously looking into doing it as my car is solid all round and bit of serface rust wont hurt for a couple of years! I know enthusiasts (cant spell sorry) on here wont think much to idea but fook em lol I just have to convince the mrs!
Do not take anything i say seriously as i am a bit of a cnut!

Rat look looks quite cool on an old '50s Yank or early VW Beetle/Bus or similar, but doesn't really suit the 80's Yuppie image of a BMW E30 imho.
