Title: Making your car miserable?
Post by: Tortaruga on August 23, 2013, 03:34:55 pm
Has anyone purposely made their gti look, well, a bit gash? I mean for example - fitting steel wheels, a GOLF 1.6 badge, etc.

Is this 'cool' or 'scene'? Or kind of 'hipster' trying to look cool by looking uncool? It's all very confusing-I wish people would leave things alone. :confused:

Does the rat look come under 'miserable'? If so, then yes I've seen one or two  :grin:

^^^^ Takes a special kind of moron to drive around in a perfectly good car that they've turned into a steaming turd ON PURPOSE!

Funniest thing I've ever seen that makes a car look sh*t is this "Wing Air Flow Intake Vent" (eBay description, not mine  :laugh:). Would love to see them on a Golf.........I'm very tempted.  :wink:

See how it improves the A5 in an instant.

That TDI badge looks quite good, strangely :surprised:

Would love to see that wing vent photoshopped on a Mk5.

Wonder if the insurance would've paid if you'd crashed without declaring the rebadge?
