The Rat look? A collection of interesting/awful Rats...

[NewcastleFalcon]

Did you go to Chucks Cafe or Sally's Snakerama Station?

Seeing as its Japanese half hour over on the I-Spy Classic Cars thread here's a Nissan March (Micra) K12 with the look....yes quite boring I know, and probably not a good advert for the Paint Shop on the door



regards Neil

The micra will be a wrap, there is a brand new vw transporter van that has a Rat look vinyl wrap, it does actually look pretty damn good! Would love to be a fly on thewall whenit rolls in for first service!

Worth bringing forward into the body of the thread Timmo. I am sure if I did a vinyl wrap you would be able to see all the joins

That's wonderful

I've often thought about having a yellow wrap on my Activa just to see what it would look like in my fav colour...

There's a person who does the deed just up the road from me. I just may ask one of these days...

[Stickyfinger]

Ask him about 3M Chrome Wrap on Sills will you Jim....aka Ds stylie

[Timmo]

it used to be a cheap option for changing the colour of the car, but from what i have seen about the net, for a good job on the van size your looking at £1500 ish now?? which was the cost of a half decent spray job, the difference being i suppose that in 5 years if your bored of it, peel it off and back to the standard colour,

i wonder if i could use my bx as Rat look via Nature!! 7 years of sitting on a driveway!

Whats up with it Tim? why has she been sitting idle so long?
The 16v must be super rare now.........just checked and there are 21 left taxed, more than i thought.

Wasnt a lot wrong with it when I laid it up, just wasnt using it enough to warrant keeping it on the road, kept it mot'd for 2 years but stem seals went so no hope of a pass on smoke, for 3 years i've been meaning to bring it home and sort it out! rust has taken over a little now, usual places, but need it here so I can start to strip it down and see How bad it is!
i've owned it since 2002, 4th owner, local car too!

[CitroJim]

Tim, that car needs restoring

Shame a wrap is so expensive

Is there anyone here who can photoshop an Activa into a deep, rich yellow so I can see what it might look like?

[Deanxm]

That car does need restoring, bring it over here I need a project since I finished mine

Is the XM all done and dusted now then Dean?

If so, shall we see her at CXM this year?

Check this out Jim, it'll look great without the peeling and Yellow is the 3rd fastest colour.
