I really don't get the point in this rat look malarkey? Fair play to him for fixing it, he obviously gets his kicks out of doing it For me I'd get my kicks out of buying it for £75 in the first place then getting as many miles out of it without spending any cash on it. That would be boring though wouldn't it

[Louise2cv]

I didn't think rat-look was meant to look so contrived anyway? Does nowt for me, but whatever makes him happy I suppose.

[r.welfare]

Meh. I'm with Hertz, but then perhaps I'm getting old when I see no point in stripping the paint from bits of my car and driving it to the seaside? Hats off to his repair skills though, he's gone above/beyond what most folk would when faced with those breakages - some self-induced but also some typical of an old 405

[Mr Lobster]

Yeh, the whole remove the paint and let it go rusty thing seems a bit odd to me. But at least its been kept on the road.Like the wheels though!

[MrRegieRitmo]

I guess what it comes down to is that's what the difference is between here & R-R!How is Mr Weasel involved?

[AXrescuer]

I think it look's crap to be honest.Ignore the Pog bit, I meant to flag this for r.welfare, I just got my posts mixed up.

TOTALLY hilarious; but he must be a sucker for punishment.Is there not a lot else to do down in the wilds of Cornwall (The We*t Country) at this time of year ?

I like it. It's not overdone like most rat look attempts and is a good way of making what's still a fairly common car look distinctive.My 405 is a bit shat-look at the moment with mismatched wheels front to back and covered in mud and grease stains.

Several hundred points out of ten for the mechanical determination, but minus all points for the pointless 'ratlook' scene bollocks

[Milford Cubicle]

What's scene about a 405 having mild rat look applied to it? Fair enough if it was a Passat or something.

[Pete-M]

Mustard mitt, some of the 'scene' rat-look stuff is pretty well done.

 

Some of these are, I think, pretty bloody nice.

Jeez, this guy deserves some sort of legend status! If I had those faults on my car, I would definitely have binned it. Full respect to him for that. Not sure about the rat look, seems like an ideal way to render your car unsellable.....

The VW scenesters would kill for your back number plate.
