L33 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 on another forum my car has been branded a barry boys car because of my paint and wheels. not really has this before, and to be honest the amount of work and money ive put into my car its upset me a bit the wheels and the paint are the only things that the car has had done when i bought it, and now i have the engine work and single turbo to go with it its been on my mind all day, should i respray it, do i need new wheels. i know its what i want that matter bla bla but i just need other opinions as its made the view of my car a little grey i wouldnt even know what colour to go, i love the electirc blue cars but i personally think that colour suits kitted cars, which i dont want to do. just need some honest answers about mine please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzC Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The colour of a car and modifications done are always going to be subjective. It's what you feel looks good that matters surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 just a little disheartened i spose cuz i love my car and not really had comments like that about it before. and they used the word chav Well, I am sure people would call me a chav if they saw me get out of my car with a certain hoody that I own. I love the hoody, but the pattern has been described as "electric vomit" by my girlfriend. I will admit, it sometimes makes me look like I just stole my own car, but I like it - so I don't care what other people think. Some people love Veilside. I don't. Some people hate stock, I don't. Some people like bright orange... it's all up to you pal! What forum was this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dont worry about it matey, its only someone elses opinion which they are entitled to, my car was posted in the SF worst looking Supras thread, mind you the bodywork does need some attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 what is a "barry boy" car ? its the most abusive car website ever! barry boys they call them self, they go round taking pick of what they call badly modified cars and all hurl as much abuse at it as they can! now that site admittedly is full of shockingly bad modified cars and chaved up cars just never thought my car would be branded in that category! there a horrible lot on that forum and have been abusing for years! my mates old 205 gti was on there, and they were ripping into how it had fake plastic windows, black bonnet on a white car ect but actually its had a mi16 lump in it and actually was a track car!

Kev_A Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 In all honesty mate the wheels and colour choice wouldn't match my own, but at the end of the day it's not my car, it's yours, your choice of colour and mods is what makes you different from the rest of us and reflects your personal tastes. Besides, with a single turbo on tap who gives a shit what the "Barry boys" think, have you seen some of the nobs on that site and the cars they drive? Quite frankly it's laughable that they feel worthy of passing judgement on your car. Maybe they wouldn't be so quick to judge if they seen it go some!

Chris Wilson Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You either have a car to please yourself, or to please other people. Same goes for clothes, houses, holidays, et cetera, et cetera. Once you start listening to, or for, other's opinions you immediately fall into the latter category, and are, of course, open to the opinions of those with, and without, taste and breeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
