The majority of my friends are massive VW fanatics. Personally I dont get it??!! But Ive been to a few shows and meets, and Ive noticed the "rat-look" is very popular amongst VW owners. Now Im not suggesting for one minute that a "rat-look" scoob is a good idea. But Im wondering if the matt look would work on one??Ive seen supras and some nissans running it, and to be fair it doesnt look that bad. Different in fact.

Just wondering what other peoples opinions are on this??

And please...Dont hate me for it!!

I think it would look awesome on a scoob! Saw some of the Brabus cars at the motor show with it as their paint job. Wow, they looked good.

^^^agreed. I loved the Brabus C-Class at the BMS!
I reckon it would look sweet on a scoob... especially matt grey

Well, my bonnet has suffered a fair bit of stonechip abuse. so I was thinking of a vinyl matt finish as a temporary solution until I can afford to get it sprayed. So I'll post up some pics when its done and see what ya think! A mate did a vento front end conversion on his Mk3 golf vr6, then sprayed his bonnet vinyl matt and it looked sweet! Bit unsure about the vents and scoop tho??

crap, double post!!!

any of your vw mates looking to get into a scoob??? been fancying a dub for a while......

Nah, theyre all getting into the drift scene now. RWD S14s, S15s and Volvo 340's instead. Being more a rally fan, I prefer the AWD. I just see drifting as a waste of good rubber!! It got REALLY expensive when a mate drifted his Porsche 944 into a tree and wrote it off!! Definately not for me

Boot and spoiler still look glossy.

Anyways, PS or not... it looks proper evil!

That looks stealth as ****!! Im a bit worried that the matt bonnet would look a bit daft cos of the scoop and vents??

Nope not PS'd... the owner used a combination of flat black and satin black just so it didn't look like an unfinished paintjob....

I think I remember getting the pics off NASIOC a few months ago.... gotta admit tho that when I saw these I was

I really like this look. its something I have wanted to do for a while on my Astra. I think do it but would go for the whole car Matt not leaving anything shiny

Went to the Uxbridge Japshow with SIDC a few weeks back and saw a new shape Megane (which I also own) with the same flat black treatment.....



unfortunately it looked like the guy had done it himself and didn't really suit the shape of the car....

there was one in chelmsford. a classic with a 2.5 conversion - don't think it was anyone on here though as a few people spotted it and the owner never responded. very "stealth"

...i think it looked ok. not really my cup of tea, but i can see the attraction. matt black looks good on my ts1 lambretta though
