Trends for next year?

Anyone want to have a go at predicting what'll be the 'big thing' next year?

Retro-old-skool Mk2s I reckon, but then there were plenty of those around this year too...

 

How about those crazy German and Dutch types modding the new mk5. Normally doesn't take them that long

 

Black wheels with polished rims.

and proper US style 'custom' paint jobs.

 

BBS bodykits and wide arches! Woohoo!

 

I reckon big polished rims will be in......Bling Bling

 

Who cares, as long as that crappy old skool small bumper no arch trim mk2 look dies and never comes back!

 

Germany have been doing the big Audi wheel thing for a few years now and smoothing has been done to death.

We're usually a bit behind so I reckon there will be a few more smooth creations in the UK.

I agree with Monkey that wide styles could come back too. Reckon on seeing some Rieger kits doing the rounds. If you think about it they are only a few steps away from the Rice creations that the US love so much.

 

Fablon

 

Putting the car back to standard

 

Rieger kits, 15x15 gold BBS split rims and splat graphics

 

Two tone paint jobs and Hydrullic/air suspension to create massive drops on Chromed wheels

A bit like this mk5 from teh Essen show:

air suspenion is already taking off in a big way.

 

Yeah, read something about it in teh current PVW. Can't help but think we'll be swamped by them by next summer.

 

crash damaged look

I HATE the air suspension and two tone look

 

I HAVE MASTERED THE CRASH DAMAGE LOOK! Trophies ahoy!

I have a feeling the track-sl*g look is gonna go big... look at how much talk there is on here about track cars all the time.

 

who cares, who wants to be "IN" i couldn't give a monkeys really.........just drive the damn things

It's getting like an episode of "what not to wear"

and who really looks at a roofrack and thinks "hey that looks cool"

Modifications that "improve the car" are what ya want

better engine, suspension-not just lowered, wheels, brakes etc as in what someone like AMG or Alpina might have done if they worked on VWs

 

here, here! especially the rooffack bit, i never really understood why people think that looks good

but i know thats not everyones thing. some people arent that interested in performance & would rather go for crazy looks for whatever reason.

there seems to be a mad rush of ppl getting black rims with polished outers at the moment.

You sure about hating all roof racks , not sure about the blue thingy



I think the 2 tone paint job only works on some jap cars and on even less european cars.
IMO that mkV looks w@nk
