Scirocco is interesting but can't help thinking it would look much nicer if it was all the same condition as the driver's side

Really really strange & a pretty annoying following....how the hell can you call yourself a car enthusiest if you go out your way to make it look crap. Its beyond me!!
tbh id imagine they do it for reactions like that, and im not saying your not wrong cause in some cases you are right.
but as said, there are some nice touchs, BMs door handles is cool [/bandwagon] but some of it just takes the piss i agree.

You could say that about anything that someone calls original though.

Yeah, they like it so they do it which is fair enough. But personally I think the 'rat scene' that we have over here is laughable as most of them don't understand the concept of 'rat' car.

Thing is none of those are 'Rat Look'. They're just a piss take on a proper scene. Seems that the builders of these so called Rat cars think its and easy look to pull off by just making their cars a mess.

i dont really see why itll give motorists a bad name? yes it looks like a heap, but there are plenty of cars out there that look like a heap by accident. motorists are given a bad name for alsorts of reason, not just looks of their cars.. i dont like the look of many cars on the road but i dont think any less of the person driving it. aslong as its not been driven badly i dont care tbh

Because its an eyesore. Motorists gets persecuted enough without some fuckface in camo shorts and hoodie sporting a 'legoman' haircut pissing poeple off in a clearly shockingly bad car 'just to be different'.

But you admit you rarely drive it, so can't have developed the shortened tendons which prevent indicator usage.
It's designed into the steering position.

This thread is perfect evidence that when you ask the question, "Why do you purposefully make your car look shit?" and get the reply "To be different" or "I'm being original" it is total bollocks.

Lol, I've got to agree with you a bit Danny. But some of the touches are genious and dead original so I can appreciate that.
Nothing is original, they've stoen them from various other 'scenes'.
'Nothing'? I'd say the relocated door handle on the 3 series is one of the most original things I've seen, along with the half and half Scirocco. Again, I'm not saying I would drive one or do it to a normal car but I think some of the stuff's quite well done.
There have been several half and half cars done before and door handle re-location and swapping is pretty common.
