lol, oooo. I dont jump on any bandwagons cheers, I do what I want.

Following the crowd is and always will be gay. Especially when people try to be different by being the same as everyone else, non conformists by conforming. EURO was basically the equivelant of Emo for cars lol

its a modding phase, like the big wheels and bodykits, next show season there will be something else.

If its not your car then dont worry about it, all about personal preference.

Got no issue with the ones that were done nicely.

Just got fed up of kiddies slamming the T bars to 3 clicks and putting some lensos on their car and calling it EURO

It aint dead, why, do you think it is because youre not keen?

If peeps want to mod their own car in a certain style, let 'em do it that way, dont moan 'bout it.

well said. If your car just has smoked lights and lowered are you following what most others have done on here.
Again too many people getting worked up over peoples cars. Euro doesnt have to be about wide 3 piece wheels and smooth everything!

Tbh I like the subtle approach, like the saying "Everything in moderation".

Lowering a car is the most vital mod in my eyes.
Then maybe the In-Car Entertainment and Interior.
Then some subtle Engine Mods.

Thats my 3 steps to modifying my own car.

Seriously though, two guys on the site first did the bumpers like this at the same time which was just coincidence, I was one of em. Loads of people have got em now.

if people saying GT is for the small black bit in the middle painted on the bumper then im sorry your daft lols.

originally was done by Ford which Mitsubishi and Nissan soon joined in. GT has fcuk all to do with a black bit painted on a bumper lol.

and for the books GT stands for

Gran Turismo in Italian or Grand Touring, it usually refers to a type of car that is high performance but unlike an all-out sports car that sacrifices comfort and practicality for speed, it has more luxurious amenities, such as a small rear seat and a little more cargo space. Good examples of GT cars include the BMW M3 and Ferrari 550 Maranello, as opposed to the M Roadster and Ferrari F430 which are pure sports cars.

a saxo will never be GT. so people best not think a GT trend will appear for you will all look like muppets lols. goin around saying your car has the GT look when clearly has it bollocks lmao.




I may have read what was put wrong like GT (he may mean got but he was to lazy to put the O in) lols.


anyways euro look aint to bad if done right but overall the car becomes impractical and those who say they drive better are talking a load of pap and clearly have not driven high performance motors before. reason been most the money spent on REAL euro cars is on teh suspension. bushes,arms,antiroll bars, coil overs the lot. if you have not done any of that then you have about 45% of a euro car. the rest is small rims,smoothed in parts, usally full interior retrimmed, tv screen,mini camera's on front and rear bumper for recording track days or just to park better lol. and the car looking litrally like its just rolled out of some high end Detailing centre.

that is euro a proper eurocar will set you back thousands upon thousands.


the thing thats making an impact on the BMW scene is wide arched kits. so maybe thats the way its goin?

thats the exact problem im having with my BM I LOVE the toca touring look but the kit costs roughtly £8,000 then you got to have it fitted proffesionally then of course resprayed.

big bucks for fibreglass or RGP parts if you ask me hahaha.

thats kinda how mine would look if I got it done.
but mine would be in avus blue.

and the kit itself
http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss295/funnyimpreza/widebodyparts.jpg

and you think 8k for that lols makes me fcuking wonder I tell yah haha

there is one big flaw to the kit though.

the arches come out so much NO standard street wheel looks right. you basicly have to go out and find proper racing style wheels. so even more money to bloody fork out.

there is also this one to infinty 2 its called

I was going down that euro route with my 306 dturbo

Without getting into petty arguments I dont see how you can bash saxos, including mine which you blatantly know fuck all about lol, when youve bought whats generally known as one of VWs darkest hours in terms of terrible cars. Sure the engines are epic, but they handle like barges and are about as fun to drive as sticking a red hot needle down ya japseye. Hardly an enthusiasts car now is it

this is how strict BMW are though. I went there to get some parts and they asked me for my chassis number saying your car must be in the Mtech class to get these parts so we must have your chasssis number to confirm this.

I was like are you idiots. my cars parked out side just fkin look at it you lazy barstools.

my front grille lower bumper bit cost me £57, offside bumper strip £24.97. and they are not in stock im having to go get them on bloody tuesday. :n: and thats a main dealer GRR.

when I got my Gt splitter its ajustable so can change the way the downforce works. well anyways there was roughtly 4 bolts missing so I went in got replacements £7.89+ vat FOR FKIN BOLTS. but I suppose im only using genuine bmw parts which counts and I can put stuff like that in my service history lol.

its because there an impractical car and also are shite on track days. impractical been they handle like poo and also you cant get over near enought all the speed humps. as I previously stated only if you have done most the work underneath in the running gear deparment they are a true and good running euro car, if your just running on standard bushes and some poxy lower kit then there will alod of extra pressure been put on the bushes,arms etc etc. so in the long run your causing more harm to your car then good lols.

and what makes me laught even more is they think putting a bonnet bra on is an actual design or look!!!!!!! eh no they are there for a reason. to stop stone chips but they seem to forget there car is euro and slammed to the floor so they should be more worried about there front bumper getting pepperd with stone chips let alone the bonnet haha.

wheels cost a fortune for what deepdish 13-14inch rims im on slightly deep dished 19's and my rims are the same price as some poxy 14inch rims? work that one out and mine are bloody expensive rims lols. so your ending up paying more for the odd's if that makes any sence.


and the other thing I dont get is when people put there 'euro' car up for sale they instantly think because its euro its worth like 2-3k more then it actually is???????

Like any styling its a fad and will no doubt die.

But atleast when done properly some can look really good

Atleast there arnt as many 'rat' cars around as euro. Rats just an excuse for lazy bastards to say that they're modding their car
