yeah i have seen tha corsa before, i really like it. what do interiors of 'rat' cars look like or dont it matter?? i have a scrappy near me that always has micras so i may rust a bonnet etc, just wanted other opinions. the rat look is like marmite, you either love it or hate it, cue the 'i bloomin hate it' comments
Some rat inspiration. None of the rust is real.
Some more, the rust is real
I like your idea of a stripe of rust. I really like that a lot.

Spot on, think it's horrible, along with euro, but if people wanna do it, fair enough.
Seems everyone just rusts the whole bonnet, and gets some checker in there somewhere. Yawn... That blue golf (?) is the first one I've seen with some originality, and my friends always trying to show me rat cars, because "they look awesome".... :glare:
:doh: i guess my car is just another generic rat then....
-rust bonnet (tick)
-checkers (tick)
-shopping trolley on roof (hmmmmm)
ahwell, i like it :laugh:
the problem with getting rust elsewhere is that it can then be seen as damaging the structure to an MOT testter, a bonnet holds no structure so can rust away untill you can poke a whole in it, also the easiest to sand.lol
the interiors of rat cars are literaly as mad as you like, i started mine as a track car so its stripped and buckets...... most rats have lots of frills and colours.
for more inspiration check out rat-look.com, great peoples on there with lots of pics and always happy to help.

I probably dont know what im on about lolol but what about a jap-rat look, something that doesnt just copy the ratters and has elements of those crazy japs like the bosuzoku cars.
Hope you dont mind my chop:
As shero says it needs to go lower. Makes me want a silver or white prefacelift so i can do it!
Also how about a set of replica arches im selling? You can transfer them or sell 'em after if your worried about the longevity of your micra as they are pretty tough.

Rat looking cars shouldn't be done, they should just happen.

Rat cars, were the cars that were a bit battered, panels replaced with what could be found what they got damaged. There was never really a Rat "look" until people thought it was fashionable, and started to mod their cars for a rat "look".
I was at croft at the weekend and i saw a nova like this, not my cup of tea
