WHAT????

That sounds like completly ruining the car and reducing the 2nd hand value 10 fold!!!!

Your choice though

Why not will be a first!...(probably for a very good reason):grinning:

 

[squarepants]

lol ^ true...somthing ive always wanted to try tho.

 

[GuyH08]

How about you get summin s*** like Arnolds Corsa and experiment on that

 

[squarepants]

actually tbh i dont think it will work...altough i dunno what look to go for at all!

It'll look crap. Just stick it in the sea for a week and you can get the same effect.

jus buff off the paint and itl rust up itself in a few hours, no salt water needed

rat look is crap. id go euro on a pre facelift 11

 

[ronin_kid]

i love rat cars/bikes, but only when their built ratty, not conforming to a 'style'....

would look better on a k10 too imo, all squat and boxy

 

[micra oli]

nah, i think it'll look rubbish. it suits early vw's and the such like. but not a micra imo.

instead of the "junker" rat look you could go for the matt black / grey or other dark colour paint on the outside of the car, complete with things like tinted windows and lights, matt colured rims, you could even try black camo net over the back windows lol, maybe even yellow bulbs if you have super s driving lamps,
Interoir wise, mexican style blankets and canvas are used often as well as removing the carpet.

the rusty bonnet thing looks gd, seen it a few times

have you seen my car? lol its already matte black, has no carpet, tinted rear lights.

 

[jdmk11mike]

im going for a harlequin k11 lol, just like that special edition golf that vw did

im thinking red wings, blue doors and a rusty bonnet

Think it would look crap too, unless you had like a mint turbo'd engine or something like that under the bonnet.

well i'm replacing my front wing with new ones but leaving them with black primer then the bonnet getting it with the nitromers.
Trying to find a super s bumper so that i will paint that in black primer aswell

I have 13in bbs rims but the have a 2 half inch dish on them and getting small arch extentions from japan when i get the money together.

Then maybe a roof rack but need to find the right type really
