rpslaughter1982 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 What car tuning trends or styles originated from the uk? Looking at a lot of the cars in the mags certain styles shout American/jap/euro but I haven't seen one and thought "that's a uk style car". With a great motorsport industry I would have thought we would have a more identifiable modifying style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpslaughter1982 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 According to Wikipedia the motor industry started in Britain with Frederick Simms in 1885 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Simms_Motor_Scout_1899.jpg From this I'm thinking 26" rims and machine guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
