Is it me? or what. Last week on my Renault training course, Chris a mate a a performance French car mag. Having a flick through to find 2000 place clio face lift model, eurod, as eveything is now days. Dont get me wrong, it look alright, nothing compared to VAG though, but he had all Iron cross stickers and old skool stickers over the damn thing.. I ended up laughing and throwing the mag back at him..
Has the euro thing taken over all make cars in your area?

I've seen the odd euro Corsa. Looked pretty poor though.

Lol At a meet i use to go to in Shiply gate, (huge turn out, not just vag) A few Eu Mania turned up, i saw a few euroed corsa's and a nova on porche rims. Saxo's, new clios.. i was like jesus.
In my opinion they will never be VAG. Nore do they look as good.

Yeah, seen a saxo too. Didn't look too bad, but trying to be something its not.

I think it's cool, if something works why not do it?

Yeh that Saxo was in FastCar a few months back, I actually really really like it. I'm a sucker for schimdts though.

That saxo looks alright, but I just really don't think a Corsa b can ever be cool, they're too small and kind of at the era where the interior is trying to be modern but just isnt!
I guess I don't like the corsa b though!
Back to the euro theme though, they look much better like that than OEM+ for example

The White Corsa B has a red top in i believe. Lives in this area, goes to the MFN car cruise. The Saxo has been around for a while.

Yep, whenever there's a car (usually a Polo) in there that I recognise I buy it. Same I would any magazine if i knew, or knew of the owner/person.

I believe your numberplate has to be on the furthest point of the car, eg front and rear, ha. But alot of people i know put them in the grill, front windows or sunvisor.. I would think you will get pulled for it. Depends on the copper i guess.
