Evening all, just bought a new car and trying to decide what direction in which to take it. Obviously show season is a long way off but what trends can people spot emerging already? Naturally it's good to be individual but I'd rather not turn up with something like tractor wheels and high vis paint etc...
Thoughts/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

I reckon we'll see more Boso influences in the mainstream, well that's what I'm hoping for! Love shark nose conversions  |

Do what you wanna do; you may end up starting a trend. Dare To Be Different, as a famous magazine would say. Waiting around for someone to tell you what to do with your car seems a little self-defeating.

Like these ideas. Already have upmarket brand new Audi wheels on the way but I'm thinking colour of them is an obvious factor easily changeable. Lol dare to be different certainly sounds the best way forward, just need to think of the ideas. Brain storm? Or is it mind map now??

Haha, just got rid of my retro but can't leave the forum, just too many good posts and people. I realise sweet pics might get more response too, on my mobile ATM though :-)

Is that Ford Pop not one of the cars that used to be in Camden Market about... 8-10 years ago? I think they had a Fiat 500 done in the same way to advertise an art or clothing shop.

Love shark nose conversions Me too would love to see some OTT Boso cars driving around  I was thinking of VW golf wheels on my K10 Micra maybe I should use some hub converters and go for Audi wheels if any modern ones are still 15in |

Always a good idea to do to your car whatever you want, not giving a rats ass what the current trend is. This said, those audi are beautiful, if i'll ever be able to afford a new car it'll be an audi or a top of the line passat... Was you ill slam it on either juice or air and call it a day. Maybe some mild body mods like shavd handles, badges and random shizzit, and relocate rear plate from the trunk lip to where it looks better. like the micra too btw |

Tourettesteddy, you can have mine if you like? 16's???
Unitybonez, yep coilovers just fitted and pretty low, looking to get stance sorted then crack on with something to make it a bit more individual. Like the ideas for sure though... Thanks

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

My local guide was most upset to see me looking around it, she knows how much I love cars. Did open the door for me though, even though there wasn't much in there to see. Anyway, OP, didn't mean to come across as a bit of a cock. Funny mood yesterday. |
