I love the rat look, really like it on the newer cars but yet to see it pulled off properly.

It's only a bit of fun. I agree with Jarred - the BMW looks awesome. Couldn't say the same with the Mk5 Golf and Mk4 Bora.

Oh, I've got some left-over hydrogen peroxide + vinegar mixture if anyone wants some

Haha I've already seen a 97' odd integra GSI with a rusted bonnet around Fairfield no less...

Maybe this is the solution to my rust problem - embrace it.

Very tempted...

Clearcoating over the top is common yeah?

I'm not sure, the integra I saw clearly had rust stains on the front bumper from the water running down from the bonnet

Why oh why would you want to ruin your car like that.

If you want a rust bucket go buy something from the tip, don't ruin a perfectly good car with that crap!!!!!!!

Totally agree with this sentiment. As a fashion ... it is in my considered opinion

My opinion, looks good on Air Cooled, not on newer Waterpumpers.

I've seen a couple of ratty Mk1's that look good, but those Mk5's don't look right.

Up to them though of course...

OMG!

It's only a bonnet! It's not even rusty! It's just surface rust.

There's no massive holes in it or the sill panel's & boot floor are falling out of it.

My life is going to end cause the bonnet has a brown rusty look to it.

What will I ever do?

How am I going to fix this? I have no idea.

I know.

I'll replace the bonnet!
