sorry some people may think this thread is pointless, but then again so is many others..
but i just want to know what people think the 'euro' look really is, for example theres a guy i spoke to hes got a ka lowish on escort cosworth wheels and a bonnet bra and he swears his car is 'euro' and its just not!
theres also a few people that live around near me and debadged there cars (think it makes there cars look smoothed), lowerd it 60mm and got pressed plates and they think theres are 'euro'..
what is it with 'is my car euro' and would this make my car look 'euro'

Minimalist styling, low, wide wheels, smooth body work, clean/plain paint job.

It's going to be different in everyones eyes, but my understanding is a car (preferably VAG) that's had major smoothing work done, is dropped to the floor on coilovers or airbags/hydraulics, one solid colour and small fancy and unique wheels. But people will probably have different opinions.

It doesn't have to be, but most foreign cars of that description have very clean, minimal smooth bodywork.

because thats how it all started off hence the website cleaned. Euro is just a term but in reality simple mods, low and wide and nose down is more like the brit look.

i see loads of rat look cars lately. all seem to be on main dealer forecourts advertising the government scrappage scheme. so according to the government, the euro look is worth 2k and car should be scrapped.

I'd say the car has to be european, so french, german, italian etc etc
low, wide dished whee;s, clean and subtle
This is a guy I know for the axoc and his euro ax, of which IMO looks very well done other than the bad boy bonnet

I don't see what's euro about the ax apart from wheels that are slightly euro.
edit to say it looks like it's got a pressed plate, that must be it.

What are those mirrors on the ax?
All these euro cars now days are just not euro in my opinion, everyone seems to think they have euro cars now days.
