Not to keen on the bonnet but Very nice

[Green-Chameleon]

I think the bonnet looks awesome.

It gives a uniqueness to 'another' rat.

[shaun617]

i also like the bonnet but i think you should add a rusty chain on the front bumper

[adam_93rio]

I thought that was Westbay! and yeah that car is awesome! been properly ratted not just left to rot and called ratted.

thats contradicting what a rat is. a rat is a car that got there by itself. not sanded down paintwork so it rusts etc.

i dont think a lot of mini owners quite grasp the whole rat thing. i dont really like it much on minis because it just doesnt look right. you need to keep a good coat of paint on a mini because as soon as a panel rusts on a mini its pretty much gone through.

Volkswagens get away with it so much because they use thicker steel and it lasts a lot longer.

a rusty bonnet and yellow lights just doesnt seem ratty to me

I don't like a rat look car. Just looks like a poor condition car not looked after.





I just don't get it.


Clearly plenty of other people do though.

[WRLondon]

a v reg rat
good couple of grand worth of rat
rat cars are meant to be sub £1500 cars in my opinion
although a nicely modified car then stick a rusty bonnet on it can be argued as rat
i just dont see the point Lol

saying that i do like that bonnet but if youve got a nice looking car in the first place DONT RAT IT
if its looking abit scabby then go for it

just my two pence

I like rat look but im not keep on that one to be honest :|

if you wona be picky, my car is not rat no. it comes under the sub heading of "forced rat cars" which is under the main heading "rat"

And i like that way everyone just thinks its a VW exclusive thing when ratting comes from rat rods and there big old chopped american cars mostly and about as far away from a VW as humanly possible.
VW owners probably adopted to look first because there more open minded then most mini owners.

rant over

I have always loved VW's and Minis, and i guess i just wanted to combined the two!
