 Does the job  Just out of interest, I did a survey (with the kids I teach) of car number plates in the car park last week. One of the cars in the car park was a Nissan 350z, and another a black PT Cruiser. Most of the others were generic Euroboxes. When I asked the students which car was their favourite out of the lot, the clear winner was the Cruiser. Surprised I was! |

to me those things look, well, not quite right. That particular example in that one block colour looks like its got a plastic 'drag' body on |

Lose the spoiler and give it a 2 tone period paint job and it'd be pretty cool, for pt cruiser

The panelvan conversion on a PT is quite nice.
I remember that there was a woodie conversion.

Currently driving a '68 Karmann Ghia as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

A lot of these have attracted the stick on tat brigade. Doesn't mean they can't be done right.
Other than PT Bruiser I can't think of any which have made a real impression on me. Seen a couple rolling on chrome smoothies and white walls but thats a bit predictable, non?
I'd be thinking some of the modern ARE TTQs which come in FWD offsets, in a 17 or 18" with some altitude correction and a very much a "less is more" approach to everything else.
TBH I'm not a great fan of the gearbox and clutch in these. Mrs Ku has one and its not my favourite driving machine. test drive in mixed conditions before purchasing.

That black/pink/flamed one looks fantastic. I don't think I could ever live with one though, they are after all based on a Neon and presumably must be horrible to drive.

To make a PT Cruiser cool you'd first have to convert it from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive . . .
