   Well drew off here payed 300 for his bumpers iirc
   
   then you got the wheels, bump strips...
   
   the possible coilovers for the lowering...
   
   imo dont do it. Just get your car looking minted clean and it'll look just as good

   decent euro wheels alone budget over a grand right there
   bodywork will need to be 100% perfect so prolly full respray so theres a few k
   interior most go gti so 3-500 there
   or custom well skys the limit
   suspension will be 5-600 for reasonable stuff
   and then all the details as tbh all the proper euro cars have 1000s spent on stuff you wont notice at all

   It is ALL about stance
   You need to get your car LOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW and WIIIIDE in my opinion.
   My wheels cost over £1500 and my suspension cost over £800
   In my opinion they are the key places not to cut corners.
   From then on its just a case of doing the level of work you want to do to your car and obviously the sky is the limit
   I think my car cost £500 and I spent around £4000 on it, but I managed to get a lot of the bodywork done cheap.
   As its been said, it can look good but it costs.
   If you haven't got the budget to do it properly I think that there are much better 'looks' to go for which will look much better for the money.
   Euro rarely looks good/right on the cheap
   Just my 2 cents and obviously just my opinions

    Love rat but again I think that is also all about the stance most good rat cars are low and wide which as I said, these are the expensive bits.
    Been seriouly weighing up ratting mine since it won't sell...

    its a spin off the euro scene tbh
    well th vw scene it worked from hotrods onto the old vw like the beetle and then people bought it to modern cars
    tbh i think shiny wheels on a shit car looks wank

    i agree with everyone above who says that euro looks shite unless its done with a big budget. not a great fan of euro look on french cars either - works much better with german brands imo. if you do decide to do it make sure you get it done properly and it could look sweet

    Euro is about being different anyone can have a big budget and smooth a car and put it on its ass. Its about it having the edge and not following everyone else its about taking a risk and trying to be different. Have an idea and go for it
