I was wondering if you guy would think a rat look 480 would be cool?
You know matt black paint, moon disc wheels etc
See the beetle for an idea of what i mean

got to agree one of the things I like most about 480's is the way the light
reflects off the arches (front wings especially) matt paint would ruin
that for me BUT in saying that its YOUR 480 you should do whatever
you like

As Ben told me he keeps dreaming of a nice 2110 type 1 with 48IDAs. Go for it!

Rat-look won't be nice for a 480.
An old 142 or an 121 amazone will kick ass styled like the first VW.
Italian and eastern european cars are a perfect start for a MAD-MAX tuning project

run it on 4 space saver wheels....instat rat look....then the jaquard,hold together with masking tape.....wire round the exhaust......
acutally, although i love rat bikes, and the beetle does look ok....the shape of the 480 isnt conducive to rat looks....its too streamlined....the beetle is bumpy and curvy, which suggests something chugging along....480 is wrong shape
imho

Because it is cool, but all the rat bugs are not cool.

on some cars it can look beautifull. When you do it on a 480 you should replace your brain for a correct working one.

As i suspected it would, it actually looks really good!

Unless of course that's just a very dusty 480!
Obviously it could be done better but you get the idea.
