All too low and the wheels are repugnant on most.

Not in the slightest. I'm in the bodyshop trade so for me it was an education. I like seeing what the trends are on the other side of the channel and the work quality. It makes you realise how little imagination most people have when modifying cars in this country.

To those who make comments about them not having style...I'm sure they think the same about us. The difference is that a lot of the work that I saw at that show was custom, something that is seriously lacking in the UK. The vast majority of stuff over here is bolt off-bolt on straight out of a box.

...this I like the engine bay simply because that's some awesome work to get it that tidy and the engine that shiny.

I was thinking that - it nearly looks like it isnt real... like it's a plastic model and the real one's in the back or something

Indeed. And the white Audi Avant too

I actually quite like it. Although I would have had the badge on the grill stand out more, don't like the matt black.

a lot of the modding seems like 90s style uk, ie a bit garish. any amount of garish is too much garish for me
