euro is crap now to be fair.
Its just a massive bandwagon with people jumping on and doing the stereotpical mods like bonnet bras, chequred roofs, crappy lensos and then automatically thinking there cool and euro
Wheres the individuality?.. theres not many true euro cars out there imo... just people trying to conform.
And euro styling started off as a non-vag thing.

Cleaned = Original or OEM bumpers skirt etc with small amounts of smoothing to 'clean' the lines of the car. Wide wheels.
Euro = More extreme version of Cleaned using custom bumpers and skirts etc but keeping in the same theme of smoothing and wide wheels.
People seem to be confusing Cleaned with Euro. But i think a lot of that has to do with mags now in getting on the 'Euro' scene. Bonnet bra's and stretched tyres and Wheel Whores sticker is now what people think it is

Not a new car on some random wheels with some crappy scene bits etc etc.
My idea of a euro car is some thing like a mk1 golf extremely clean, loom tuck etc, really low on nice wheels with lots of small details like small things removed etc.
No big bits just stuff the average person wouldnt notice.
No stickers, no shit dangly toys, no random coloured bits of trim etc.

To me euro is low, smallish wheels, smooth, but also loads of little bits, like dust caps, lights, etc

No offence but I wouldnt call your car euro really, In my opinion yes it has Euro influences but it is a "scene" car, not euro.
Im not slating your car as I do actually like it (if its the corsa C on banded steelies that Im thinking of).

VAG/Euro:
Diesel or small cap petrol, De-badged, chequered/black roof with pressed plates lowered on dish wheels.
Every vag or euro look car looks the same now, they do it because they say its 'individual' and away from the norm. Yet at my local meets and in general i see so many of these VAG look cars but maybe only 1 or 2 with an actual bodykit or street/motorsport styling.
It seems anyone can buy an old golf or polo, stick small dish wheels on it with pressed plates and crap vinyl and add some cheap ebay coilovers to it and they are part of an 'elite' club that can look down on people like us who stick quick engines in 'chavvy' hatches.

if it werent for the scene you probably would have never heard of those wheels. i remember what your car used to look like and then the scene came along and you followed

I think its worse when people call there car euro style or look and its not really, just came across this on PH http://pistonheads.com/sales/1222490.htm
basics, its not low, still got rear wiper, fmic is hanging out the bumper. To make that 'euro' I would be thinking yellow bonnet, slammed properly, de-wiper, take the vinyls off the rear window, put the FMIC further back, behind some black mesh and put the bar back in the bumper, get rid of the cupra badge on the grill (which has been relocated for some reason :boggle
