How to fuck up a perfectly good car

Ever wondered how you can change this:

For a thousand dollars?

 

Sheesh.

Dunno why but I quite like that, not something that i'd do myself but stripping the panels and letting them rust does appeal. It's certainly better than some wanked up shit box covered in stickers, roof rack full of crap e.t.c.

 

Best of all it's got lowering springs instead of lopping out a couple of coils.

They made a bit of a fuckup of that, but tbh that kind of stuff is not as played out over in oz, and they did do it somewhat tongue in cheek too. As far as youtube modded car video type people go, MightyCarMods are pretty switched on to idiotic things the rest of the internet are doing, but they are making an entertainment video so they tone down the "poopoo police" part a bit.

That looks alright. Before it got ruined by some unoriginal scene fanboy.

somebody really collected extra scene points there

It was fucked up before it became a car, by the mistake of British Bombers not quite destroying the fucking VW factory.

Clicked the YouTube link but only managed 8 seconds as I can't stand all this hand gesticulation like tim sone of a vicar Westwood

I'm a strict opponent of social Darwinism, but it's spazzers like him that constantly challenge my position.

I was all ready to hate it, as I hate all this rat look stuff but having watched the video, and enjoying it, I strangely find myself admiring it. Does that make me a bad man?

The golf does look shit but you can't argue that it impressed a lot of people (who didn't look like complete knuckledragging teenagers)

 

Mightcarmods do as good as job as anyone can of making videos about modifying cars without making it super specialised - there's always a group of people you'll offend.

 

Here they test "cold air intakes" and take the piss out of them because without fail, they are worse than the stock airbox

 

Same thing but for dump valves:

 

Here they go to japan and cut a cedric in half so they can import it back to Australia (because they aren't allowed into australia).

I watched another, looking down reading the comments beneath to avoid the gesticulation, but still in my peripheral vision saw them doing "air quotes" fuck my trousers, I know oz is years behind but fucking air quotes? What's the Russell brand wannabe hiding under his wooly hat?
