How tell you what Rat Look / Rat means!

When it comes to advice / rat advice you are rightA rat look (Ratlook) / Rat is a car that has been deliberately trimmed to be “ready for scrap” by the owner. Visually, a Rat Look / Ratte is a neglected vehicle, which is technically almost always tip top and can sometimes have extremely sophisticated engines. Example! The term Rat Look / Ratte actually came from the motorcycle scene, where it had the same background of neglected machines. In motorsport circles it was common to cram the money into the technology and leave the optics outside, from which the Rat Look / Ratte Style developed, which also includes the term rat hood. A rat hood is a shiny sanded engine hood with more or less severe rust. Nowadays, the advice look / rat can be found on many types of cars, these are partly also a rat in terms of technology, which of course contradicts the original idea.

PS: This is behind the patina tuning and this creates an artificial patina.
