its called originality. has your car got any?

if being originally means sticking some womens underwears on your car.... then i dont want it.

x2 you mean original in the way that he has copied what people have done to other cars and then done it to his?

nat is not about having the bill from the body shop. its built not brought. its about actually working on your car. if you go on the forum and take the time to look at some of the cars instead of just hating and bitching you might realise alot of time and effort has gone into the cars!! so dont hate, appreciate

i love real rat. i.e VW camper in Original 30 year old paint slammed etc etc.

I just dont see the point in forced rat.

And about the built not bought comment, i know loads of people including myself that have done pretty much everything to there car with no one else who gets paid really touching it.

This is where rat is at =

that is well nice!

guys lets not argue! (that sounded so gay!) rat looks like marmite, u either love it or hate it, and everyone's entitled to there opinion, and maximize naa not feeling new rat tbh i think the matte black bonnet and lights will get the same effect, plus nath clearly is not a fan of rat look, so i doubt u can convert him! just accept he likes his cars with lots of polish and gleeaaam and u like yours with rust and stickers all down to personal choice!

haha, if you'd seen my car you'd know i wasn't into polish

i get the whole rat thing, you want to be different, original, attach ladies undergarments to you filler cap. what i dont get is people crying when they're told their car is shit. surely you built the car that way to make it look shit?? you dont have to make it look shit to be original.

ahaha I've just checked your thread man! some serious modding there! i like it! I've had my rat phase and didn't like it but u dont ever know until u try right?

Rat look can look quite cool ...

Anyways, sorry to jack your thread. On with your 6n! :-)

theres no doubt about that mate! but if i had a mk1! i centanly wouldnt do that to it!

Facking hell. Four pages of arguing and about five pictures. Typical cp.

As people have said take in the critisism but you shouldnt have taken the rusty bonnet off just because people told you to, its your car, do whatever you want with it mate.

I understand that its a photo gallery and people can post their 'hates and rates' but theres a line, and some of you were just being plain rude.

Any updates with the car then mate?

well said steve... people need to get over them selves on here....

Its this guys car ffs.

If you dont like it then fair enough but just because hes not doing the same old shit like most people do on this forum to HIS car it dosnt give you the right to be rude to the guy, jesus christ. Good to see something else, and I'm looking foward to see how this car develops, nice 6n mate.

I with him here! there's helpful advise, and there's taking the p*** outta people! :-D

No new updates as of yet guys, just sanded the rusted bonnet down, ready for a matte black spray, yes its my car, but I wanted a second opinion on the bonnet, that's y I posted, but. There was plain rude comments that no1 would appreciate, but sometimes people are like that,

Pay day monday tho :) so spend spend spend,

Plus I'm in the middle of an insurance claim after my mate crashed his mg Zr into a tree at a 100mph! ouch!

Personally, i don't like the rusty bonnet but i never have been a fan of them. this is just my personal preference and it'll never change. I do agree that the black bonnet looks better.

Also, i've never understood the "rat look" and probably never will.

I see rusty parts as parts that need replacing so why anyone would intentionally rust something just seems strange to me.

I'm by no means a "hater" but there are some things that could be done to make the car look (in my opinion) nicer. but hey, its your car and you'll do what you like to it.

just because someone says "your car looks shit" doesn't mean they're right or that you even have to listen to them.

This is the whole reason i haven't got a build thread.

cheers mate! yeah but i did ask for an opinion, so i got what one lol

what do u think will make the car better?

its cool to see that there are people on here who respect what people do to there cars even if they dont like it. i didnt mean any offence by anything i said i eas just voicing my opinion. I'm really into the rat scene and i do understand that some people hate it and dont understand it i think thats why i like it so much, because you stand out so much.

yeah anyway dude on with the 6n. what you could do was a murder ratish look. loike no rucst or anything. but you could go for the matte black bonnet, wheels and everything else thats not black but you could have rat elements. eg yellow lights roof rack with some tat on it. stickers. that sort of thing!

some good ideas mate! all of them i already have planned

sounds good mate. cant wait to see the progress

cheers mate! yeah but i did ask for an opinion, so i got what one lol

If it was my car what I'd do from standard is subtle lows, some nice shiny alloys debadged rear leaving vw badge, de bump strip, smooth or shark-fin aerial, LEDs and hid's. That's all I can think of atm

Well the plans are matte black bonnet, yellow front lights, red rear lights, lowered, put the wellers on and possibly a roof rack,

I have one new update and that is the tkmaxx badge has been removed from the boot, and has been replaced with........... A AUTOBOTS badge :) ahaha looks quality! I am now a member of the autobots! Looool

just a little update guys.........

I've ordered more stickers to extend the pattern a bit :)

lil update.....

Nice pedals! Stickers are different! I like, but its not something i'd do to my car. (I hope that's a suitably constructive comment)

cheers mate..... yeah thats contructive pal!

anybody done a 6n2 light conversion... i got the guide i just wondered if anybody had a bit of advice for em??

got these...

took me a while to get these sorted as i had problems with the earth :(
