Nor am I an advocate for it. This made me nope. I parked up next to an Oodi!

The tops of all the wheels sit inside the bodywork, the tyres were so stretched it left a gap big enough for my finger, and the car didn't look that low. He/she has lost all suspension travel and turning circle for what then? What's the bloody point?! Obviously it's a matter of opinion but I thought stance was about ride height, not stopping your car from working properly.

Sorry I didn't take more pics, people were looking and I didn't want to give off the impression that I liked it.

Lol pure trash. Just like the person who did this , took a car only known for it's handling and destroyed the only thing that makes it worth buying.

They are the kind of person who pays more for a car that looks like an S, but is in fact not an S.

If that tells you something.

This is how you stance an Audi.

That's pretty similar, but a good bit lower! I still don't see the attraction

I like the tow hook. I bet it gets used every time he gets stuck on a speed bump.

I think it looks great if its a show car or bagged, fuck driving this around unless you have some pristine roads. I don't get why people do this for there DD but to each there own, i'm just glad its not my car.

I agree to lowering ride height somewhat in terms of aesthetics, but losing the functionality of a vehicle purely to make it look better is backwards to me. I want both, not one or the other. And the stretched tyre thing looks shit. Plain and simple.

I don't know where you live or what poundland is. But my first thought was a bro has definitely said he's going to poundland when about to have sex.

I like all of that stuff, honestly. I just like how they look on the ground. That example I posted is bagged so he could drive it at stock height if he wanted.

This is my low car, clearance shot at lowest point:

Can't believe you stanced a Beetle.

It's lowered, I wouldn't call it stanced. No stretched tires yet.

People have been lowering Beetles forever:

Oh shit, that was meant to be a joke because of the model. I didn't know you actually had a Beetle! Yours looks great, and I'm loving the luggage.

I figured you knew it was a Beetle because of the adjuster next to the yellow one. That's one of my two Beetles, and one of three ACVWs I have.

Haha, it's a semi well known Beetle too. It's on the cusp of famous because of the exhaust. I've had people threaten me and tell me I shouldn't be allowed to own VWs because of the exhaust on it.

I'm with you. I don't get the stanced fad. I drive a 2014 S4 and I never plan on touching the suspension. For me its my DD so it doesn't make sense to lower it at all. I enjoy that i can go up driveways and over speed bumps without having to go super slow or at ridiculous angles. My co worker drives a B6 A4 and he has it lowered like 1.5-2" or something and it looks fine (i wouldn't say mine looks bad not lowered) but it takes him 20 seconds to go over a speed bump in any parking lot and he has to enter every driveway at 2 mph and at an absurd angle so he doesn't scrape. He also likes to call my car a "4x4" to which i respond with "Its awd...so yes it is a 4x4"...anyways.

Point being. Race cars should be low. Street cars.....meh. To each their own. But not a fan of this Audi or air bags or stancing nice cars. I agree it ruins all the good handling characteristics of the car to begin with.

Have you got what I like to call the 'twin peas' on it? They sound like Zeus' farts.

That's pretty much stock, no, I'm a bit more extreme than that:

I'm not sure what I can say other than: Good man. Don't let others sway your sensible decisions! And when he says 4x4, you say 'Quattro actually, and 333bhp'.

I wasn't looking for a response. Just agreeing with you. But yea...I'm very happy with my "4x4" car with 333 hp....It scoots quite quickly. lol

This is pretty bad but the worst I've ever seen was an ancient Rover 100 slammed and covered in stickers (presumably to hide rust). It bounced, the wheels actually left the ground, when it hit a small bump.

Stupid hateful thing. No amount of low is making a rover 100 look good and now it's ability to get you somewhat reliably from A-B is gone.

That looks almost exactly like my friend's cat when she put mittens on his feet and set him on a vinyl floor.

Also, what's hanging off the tailpipe?
