not so keen on this one... something isn't quite right about it - rusty was nicer...

I kinda like the look, but it's sort of an 'art' and it takes real creativity to pull it off well...the ones that just jump on the bandwagon and copy just sorta miss the point...

ill just pearoast me RR posts here, cant be bothered to write anything new on this,

.....................................................

meh, its a bronzit beige 4 pot moordoor, no one is going to morn its loss.

its a 4 pot for sure as its only got a single pipe exhaust.

and he needs to find out whats bent on his rear sus as one side appears to be running significantly more camber than the other.

...................................................

I fully get it, I just don't see why I'm supposed to care about it, hes taken arguably the least desirable of a relatively common car, deliberately bashed it up to make it "rat", fitted £1200 wheels, chucked some junk on the roof and sanded the paint off the bonnet.

I'm afraid the rat look theme has been and gone, its "played out", its just another jumping on the band waggon car now, its like painting your car matt black to be individual.
had it appeared 3 years ago or more then maybe it would have been something new, as it is its just another anti-culture scene car.

now if he had taken real time and put the hours in on it he perhaps could have made something interesting and impressive, hes not even been progressive and gone to new extremes like the super camber car in rmads post, hes just built another facsimile rat bmw.

I'm starting to wonder if theres a factory in america that fires one out a month for posting on stance works?


to sum up, is it new? no, is it progressive? no, has it been a real labour of love? no.
