It was back on topic lol!

Lots of stickers, toy train on the roof! (Working of course)

YES! Give that man a coconut

Wow, theres some absolute bitches around isnt there?

Pinstriping looks quality dude

Few too many stickers for me though

Looks pretty good. Deff symetrical which is important lol.

Looks a bit wide open though. I prefer closer tighter designs, but thats just my preferance.

Very nice though.

What did you use to do it? Standard striper brush and some one shot?

How much do you charge? :p

was only a quick one,needs a bit more in the middle,the chalkboard paint is peeling so reckon it will come off soon anyways then i'yll re do it!

yeah use one shot and a mack 00

i'd do that for summat like 25-30 quid depending on what the customer was after,how many colours etc.

WOW that's done well! Great attention to detail :-)

Those black cloudy patches on the tailgate, numberplate and below the Polo badge, how did you do that?

thats old moss and i attacked the badges with a blow torch!

Word

Would also like to know where you bought your "Rust is lighter than carbon fibre" sticker

thats from that vw stickers place

Mint job on the pinstriping looks top!! Not a huge fan of rat but it kind of works

its your car do what you want with it least you are not like the majority of "rat" mk4 owners and just have a tacky rusty bonnet and a roofrack and the rest of the paint is fine, you have gone the whole way fair play to you

cheers mate,you either go full blown or theres no point is there!

dude.

I vote you come to the poloshow with all your kit to do the pinstriping.

I'll be up for having a bit done on the car, even if its just something small on the filler cap.

I bet I wouldn't be the only one wanting something done either. You could make a fair bit of cash

Found a use for the marquee there as well.

if you ave bits you want doin stick em in post,done a few scooter parts now where they post me the bits then i send em back once done.

did the petrol flap on me brothers Golf last night,will put a pic up later.

when is the show and where?

I like it. This is a well executed rat imo. The attention to detail is awesome. get those wheels banded to 7s and get it on its minge and its there!

cheers to everyone with positive comments!!!

and i especially enjoyed the negative comments!

this is the thread i meant to bump up

treated the little koffin to a new paint job,well half of one at the minute,going for hot rod look,still loads to be done

interior is getting treated aswell,cut and pasted with pva,old hot rod film posters,album covers,gig flyers etc

more pics to follow including one of the extended gear stick!

NOOOOO!!!

It look sooooo good before as well :(

Or, is there another trick up your sleeve for the body work?

Liking the door cards though!

gettin some bright green scallops and lots of striping,even the door shuts

interior is getting treated aswell,cut and pasted with pva,old hot rod film posters,album covers,gig flyers etc

This is what I want to do!

Paper mache sorta thing?

yeah,be careful tho as colour has run in places,best to cut out of magazines

Thanks.

Did you just remove the original material, and then put it straight onto the plastic?

just on top of wots there

Cheers. Hopefully see you about anyways, seen you once before.

were you the guy in arlington?

Yup, that was me.

On my scooter that time, now am in a White MK3 Polo - pinstriped down the side.

Black teardrops.

I drive through Harlington to get to college.

i didnt like rat at first becuase i didnt see the point of it. but i think its becuase the majority of rat owners on here seem to be 6N drivers lol with a rust bonnet. i think it kinda has to be pre 94's polos tbh . I'm actually thinkin about doing a rat car now. but more of a sleeper rat. maybe a mk2f coupe. the only thing i dont like about this lads care is maybe the wheels, i think it would look awsome with some bands or minilites nicely polished!

oh yeh and keep that interior , its sick.
