Scott Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What what? are there rules for the 'car scene'?? ill tell you, there isnt any. Its all about an individuals car, that shows their personality, presents their ideas and holds alot of thought. If someone dosent like anothers idea its all down to personal taste. You cant really say it would be apprichiated 10 years ago, becuase these cars have been around for 18...hope that makes sence:) Makes no sense mate. Sounds like something someone who painted their car with hammerite would say to be honest. He didn't mention "rules" he said it isn't what the car scene is into. Trends come and go, think of fashion. Years ago it was flip paint & veilside corsas. Nowadays it's Euro, sleeper etc. People can do what they want with their cars IMO, it makes no odds to me as it isn't me being seen in it and judged, and you can rest assured that is exactly what people do when they see a car that stands out.... in a positive or negative way. If you want to make a good impression, then go with the trends, if you don't care then do as you wish. Whatever you do don't walk around with blinkers on, do something to your car that is way out there or miles behind the times and expect to get positive feedback. It just doesn't happen. I'm one of the people that doesn't give a damn, but still judges regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to follow my own style and trend, not the trends that are considered cool and up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robzki Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I don't mind the OP's paintjob, not to my taste but I'm sure its a marmite thing as someone already said, each to their own. Hammerite however makes me cringe, I won't even use it on rusty farm machinery. but heyho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to follow my own style and trend, not the trends that are considered cool and up to date. what are you talking about? I've yet to see anyone on this site or others who mod their car for anyone else. Have you ever stop to think that maybe people actually like a new style, so mod there cars with a style as a base for themselves? but the point of my comment- i guess you will have to expect negative comments, it's very marmite as i'm sure you are aware. It's good you've tried something different but i can't help feel this would have been a lot more appreciated 10 years ago, imo it's just not what the 'car scene' is into. it looks well done though. was to show the op not to get disheartened from negative comments as he must realise that lairy paintwork and bodykits were something people liked 10 years ago and the current view is subtle with choice mods are what people tend to like in the 'car scene'. why do you think so many people don't like yours? but he clearly still likes this style, so whats the problem? to summarise, I didn't just say his car looks crap, nor did i say it was stupid or anything else that isn't constructive, instead i stated a reason as to why he may not get a lot of positive comments that may seem more understandable.

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 white and red would look good for the re-trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobapple Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just to point out I did not choose the re trim though I am guilty of liking it 8 years ago and when I was 21 . It's on my list to do, need a respray first as the paint work is starting to show signs of its age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
