e30plz 1 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 The rat look doesn't suit newer shape cars imo. Looks sweet on MK1s & MK2s, But on the newer models to me it just looks like you f'd it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 I can't remember the site, but there is a thread on one of the VW sites dedicated to the Rats, it is many many pages long. Some of the Kombi's are fantastic. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 15, 2009 One of my good school mates had one exactly like that orange one (less black rims of course), it was "Hondamatic" with like a high and low gear It was his Grandma's and he got it when she died/stopped driving. He was stoked, having a car at high school was pretty rare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzonicNick 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2009 check out vwvortex.com for a load of VW pics. I had a mk3 vento as a first car. My perfect deam garage would contain a e36 M3 plus a manual mk4 golf tdi with a little suspension and wheels as a daily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
