i saw a banged up white mark 1 clio with a rusted bonnet, f**k it was awful, and you know that they actually put effort into that sh*t

Id be tempted to find out where the car was kept and go clean the bonnet.

Quote from: MarkI think it might be shat look.

Basically, morons in the UK with the likes of VWs (old golfs and jettas etc) who rust the bonnet, and strap sh*t on to the roof and think its rat look, and cool.

In reality, they look like f**kwits with stuff stuck to the roof of their car.

rat look - american 1930s coupes.

Precisely why I avoided commenting on the bonnet.

Im sorry but this is a great looking E28



I think Soopah might have seen this one before

its awful
its got a rusted bonnet and shiny wheels and other bodywork

if it was ALL rust and sunbleached paintwork then yea, at least thatd be consistant

Ive seen a similar one but with the rust effect painted on and then coated with a varnish, it also had the headlight intact

Its all very reminiscent of the Vinyl roof coverings that were put on some cars. :shudders:

My favourite is still a dark blue BMW M3 with a golden stars effect on the paintwork.

There is a lot of history behind that car, it has gone through many different phases including a heavy scrape/ impact crash and rebuilt again.

Check the finished revision pictures at the bottom, im sure ive posted one picture of it like that on here before, somewhere

Ah yes, "that" E28.

People seem to think that "rat" takes talent.

WRONG.  Rat is find in barn, MOT, lower, drive.

This is rat - "sorry Mark for the VW Content"



Lived in a desert all its life, the paints scorched off.

Not rat  



Stick on tat, does not maketh a rat.

Oh yeah, and the fake ones use Hydrogen Peroxide to get that uniform orange rust look.

now me and soopah dont agree often, but im fully on his side with this one

I dont agree with either of you often, but I do on this

I think that desert car with scorched paint is about the only pic of one of these cars which I think doesnt look plain awful.

If its the one Im thinking of then underneath its a VW Beetle in a different bodyshell. TBH, they are very nice, although relatively rare.

i think its a karmann ghia, i may be mistaken tho

I think you are right.

Ive seen that car before and it isnt as natural rat as soopa makes out, it has had ALOT of hard work to look like that.
