I shall refrain from making any comments that could be interpreted as racist, but I have a fair idea what the driver probably looks like....
Not fancy that look for your Bentley Tony, you probably won't need alot of effort, your wallet probably makes most of your cars that low!

Air ride aroun 1200-2500 I was gonna get it for my astra but couldn't justify spending all that money on a 1.4 :/
Instead my st owes me 3 maybe 4 grand ( including the sale of it)

your right I was on the VAG scene for a few yrs (had a mk2 golf and mk2 ibiza) and refrained from the stupidly low undrivable daily car, as u said that will be his daily and he will hav a mk1 or mk2 golf in the garage ready to be trailored to the next show and shine show. ypur only considered cool if your car is static low (coilovers wound down) or on air ride with over sized other brand wheels or BBS wheels and massive stretch

I think it looks cool. I wouldn't do it to a car, but appreciate the work that goes into getting a car to sit like that.
I'm always surprised when people who are into car tuning/modifying see fit to slag off other car 'scenes' because they don't get it.

I like the vw scene more than the ford scene tbh, the shows seem much more relaxed and it's not just about who's got the biggest turbo etc.
I must admit that I don't really get the air ride thing cos as soon as you lift it up to drive it it looks shite but they do look cool sat still.

But what do your comment/thoughts say to you about a vw as a daily and toy Glenn?
The only vw I have is a standard (ish) mk4 anniversary tdi with 176k on the clock and on the original engine - on my 13 mile commute home last night I averaged 65.9mpg. Brim to brim normally shows an error or 5 - 10% on the computer mpg, but still... She uses no oil and has no rot. The gear box feels as tight as the virgin mary and she pulls like a train.

So they make great daily's, and in some cases, even better toys IMHO.

Then there is the hanging flowers off the interior mirror. What the feck is that about? Fair enough, it's their own car to do as they wish, but some of these things are huge.

I quite like it, have a lot of friends that are into that whole scene and they have some very nice cars.
The ones I can't understand are the people who think "bags are for fags" and are obsessed with being "static" and lower than the car in the picture.
Then I see daily on the facebook news feed "cracked my sump
" "Chassis rails are splitting" "daily tyre inflation" etc.. Having to plan routes because streets with speed bumps are a no go, using sections of wood to get on and off your driveway every day, having to drive at 10mph on B roads just in case...
I could not be bothered with it.

Not my cup of tea personally, but that's what I like about the tuning scene, there are loads of different looks and styles, each to their own. But there are way to many loud mouth "haters" these days.
