TBH, i really don't GAF what's thought of it.
At the moment i don't have £150 for a nicer wheel so you'll just have to put up with it. If you don't like it, so what?!

New Update for you: Rust is not a crime!
Fuck know why i'm updating this as i'm pretty much guarenteed i'll get slated for this, but i've never really cared what people think previously 
I picked up a new bonnet for my Corsa for free yesterday.

And i also went and bought some of this....

Which did this....

I pealed all the old paint off to reveal lovely bare metal

I then went in doors and found some salt and an empty spray bottle


And then filled the bottle up with salt and water and gave it a shake


Then the last step was to spray it on my bonnet and leave it in the back garden

And here it is a day later 

Oh yeah, and just to kick you in the teeth i've added more stickers.....

I really cant see the bonnet working but what the hell, go for it 
I think the stickers look ace though 
Maybe you should have left the paint on and gone for the crinkly paint look

A rusty bonnet and a luggage rack on your car is going to look mint

Dude, you have no idea about modifying do you! Or if you do, you need to broaden your horizon!

IF you want a rat look, I'll happily come round and put some dents in it for you?

I have enough of an idea to know that it will look toss.

I have always been amazed by the trends people follow, but whoever came up with bolting rusty shit to your car was obviously taking the piss 
however, if it is the latest trend it will surely die off soon and hopefully the van will be back to looking mint again

i have never liked this car and just as i was starting to come around to it with the new wheels..... ive been reminded why i dont like it again due to chavvy stickers and the ''rat'' look.... on a car youve spend thousands to look smooth and ''euro''
youve tried to do to many styles i feel
