    Yup, its a perfect Audi S3 Quattro except for it's RAT look. I have to say, much to my surprise, I'm a big fan of the look and I actually think this looks rather cool. I just cant see myself doing this to my own car. Maybe with a weapon but a lovely S3. All part of the fun I suppose. There's more on the main website.

    Good point. I'd probably stick a TDi or 1.6 on the back. Better still, one of those motor factor turbo badges :D

    Just wrong IMO, its neither rat nor anything else. A good car ruined.

    I think that this is the night we'll remember as the night Saab Ed was banned for madness :)

    I think that car has been ruined.

    Looks like some lad tried to do some wide arch thing and made a meal of it, so he just goes "eh, yeah it's rat" :rolleyes:

    The wheel arches are held on with electrical tape and nails by the look of it. It was quite a nice car beforehand though!

    I really do like it. I think its what it represents rather than the look that I actually enjoy more. How many smiles would dissapear after you took off in this shed.

    I don't think making a nice car look like a sh1tbox on purpose is cool. Quite the opposite actually. There's some fairly convoluted thinking going on here.

    Yup.

    I blame the recession.

    Hardly blame. There's no doubt that this style is a consequence of the recession but not to the detriment I think, rather the opposite. I think hard times makes for far more creativity, thats what we have going on here. Cheap form of current style. I like it.

    Just looks like they primed a few panels then went "meh" and didn't bother finishing it.

    EDIT, Ah. that's what they did do. :)

    at least it was somewhat reversible in the first picture.

    will people ever learn with the whole flushing out of bumpers into wings that in the end it always cracks.
