Rat look 80

JimC · 30-08-10, 09:24 PM

There was a thread on here a few weeks ago about what ratted Audis would look like. The consensus seemed to be "Don't!".

An 80 has come up on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1984-AUDI-80-T...Automobiles_UK

Paint is described as "Light aircraft grey military paint with 'guide coat'".

Probably wouldn't go there myself, but I don't think it looks too bad.

Been on here twice.

I am still going to do it as it is cheap and functional.

I recognise those wheels!!!

The only other set I've seen if they are the same as mine! (tho the paint does mess with your eyes)

What a waste.

Ha, he knows it! The wheels are going separately! I want them!! Mu- hahahahaha!

Seriously tho I'd like a 5th for the spare!

Where's the roof rack with the junk that they all seem to have.

some rat look cars look right, eg 1950's Chevvy dropsides, but faked ones look naff IMHO.

You can't fake patina! Although a lot of people try and fail!

Don't get these people who rub off perfectly good paint and then chuck salt water over the top of the bare metal to create a rusty look!
