Why do PH'ers like rat rods with no ground clearance but despise stanced cars because they're too low to be drivable...?
My answer - get it on air suspension. You've got the stance and then stick it up for speedbumps. The best of both worlds. Shortly to be fitted to my Transporter If it was my car and I had the time and inclination then yes I would.
I certainly wouldn't give a toss whether or not some men on the internet felt that I had committed an act of cultural vandalism akin to drawing a moustache and glasses on the Mona Lisa. It's a mass-produced car, and not even an M-car, for goodness sake, not Moss's Mille Miglia SLR.

Because its a forum and posts have the consistency of quicksand.Stanced seems to be about dropping a car on air and fitting small tyres to big wheels, that is a scene I don't get but age means my roots are elsewhere.

I had a white 2002Tii and i think it's a shame what they've done. If you'd ever owned one you would understand.
It would be worth more and look so much better brought back to it's former glory, and yes that Gruppe B Touring car does it for me.
The Rod looks ste!!
I had a silver 2002tii and think it's bloody good for the BMW to have been given the rat look, adds another dimension to its iconic status IMO, much as the Art Car BMW's, rather than it being a car for trad/conservative bores....It would be worth more and look so much better brought back to it's former glory, and yes that Gruppe B Touring car does it for me.
