New Car (Warning Large Images)

[Blinger1]

Those cars look ridiculous. The bumperbar (the one at the back?) is far too big.

Last pic is so fit but would be so illegal here!

You know when the arches are that close to the wheels, what happens when you go over a bump? Surely they must scrape the tyres?

If you get that far You've got to deal with a ruddy great bang when driving over a speed bump first

I don't really do the whole car kit thing, but they're interesting on a technical level. I'm caught between liking the factory look and some of the done up cars Some are nice, but the terrible ones let the good ones down.

it's fine.. the arches are rolled and the tyres are stretched for the best clearance, but as gommeinc said you hit the floor a lot, but it puts a big grin on my face! but yeah, i'm into the vw scene and the more modern cleaned look, plus the jdm scene.. 90's spec cars (punto's with big wheels and big bodykits) are horrible despite that I used to love it 5 years ago!

Im not really a fan of the whole car kits either. I like a more factory standard pro look.
The car are really not for me.

I really like the low and slow look!
The Euro look is a winner too (if that isn't the same thing).
I want to modify a VW Lupo when I'm older. I want to smooth off the bumpers; debadge the boot (maybe) and give it some stretched tyres! Maybe put a supercharger under the bonnet! Haha!

A bit like this Lupo actually.

I love it!

Whenever I go over a speed bump too fast and I hear the car hit the ground it makes me feel like I've broken the car (and that's in a non-modified car!)

Btw what's that website again where they post pics of really badly done up cars and stuff? And they call the owners a name.. I think it's Barry?
