Ok Dubbers,

Lets get some hardcore rat style happening... Im talking surface rust, white walls, crazy offset, roof racks, dumped on their bellies... Any thing goes...

Love to hear what you guys think... Like, dislikes, what's kool and what's just plain tacky...

Post pics too... Even better if its your car too...

Cheers James

I dont like rat stylz, imo it a load of crap.

I understand that some people take a great deal of time and effort to make there car look rusted and rubish but at the end of the day...their car still looks rusted and rubish. I just don't like.

Just my opinion, dont hate me for it.

Its an interesting look, hasnt quite taken off in aus yet, my golf was white with few rust runs etc from under the chrome, seemed to attract strange people, But would have been cheaper to got rat style.

That said its a cheap style to produce, and i must say i like the roof racks with leather suitcases fitted or spares.

hehehe...

I took my current (and first) Mk1 to the Nats earlier this year, only to be disappointed that there was no ‘Water Cooled Rat’ class

Still saving for a decent lowered suspension set-up and wheels to suit, with engine mods on the way – but the body will remain pretty manky as is

But intensem1 is right, not a commonly accepted look in Oz at the moment, but maybe we can educate the world

It's a strange style, but I'm oddly intrigued by it...
