I found this earlier, I'd forgotten I had it: A retro-80s 'backflash'. Mine says "GOLF" rather than "GTI" like in the pic though. Whaddaya reckon? Stick it in the back window or not? "Sophisticated Styling"? OOoooooh yeah ;D

thought even back in the 80's they looked tacky as flock, sorry I know, that's why I'm tempted ;D I'm collecting some period 80s accessories for when it's back on the road, I've got one of those MAHOOOSIVE brick car phones for inside, a ghetto blaster and a plastic orange and white picnic set - they'll go on the matt black roofrack I need to hunt down and get hold of Actually, any other 80s "roofrack tuning" ideas are welcome

Cool, only for super-irony though. Dare not vote though, not sure

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

Nah, 80`s chav doesnt cut it for me. Next you will be after an RGA styling kit and one of those catalogue spoilers that hang over the car by six inches either side with a high level brake light
