This is mad, The euro scene itself has its own style, cars are modified around the world for the "euro look" thats been present for years, VW cars make up a massive portion of that and DE cars just as much.
I cant believe this would ever fully get into place, i'm pretty sure even VW support the modifying of golfs and polo's to a certain extent given a recent advertising campaign displaying modified golfs. How would this work with VW campers then, nearly every single one has virtually corroded to the ground relying on aftermarket parts to hold them together, i see its over 30 years is clear but must remain in factory state so still after market. Cant believe it but unless we all do somthing it might actually happen i suppose, i've posted this across my facebook page which will hit a good few other forums. This is a free country except for the fact that, you cant say this, you cant do that, you cant . . . . . .

Hmmmmmm. I wonder how they will drive the Prime Minister or the Queen around? In an 'off the production line car' or will it be HEAVILY modified?
I wonder.

But the really sad thing is that we pay for these idiots to dream up clearly stupid proposals for another group of idiots (also paid by us) to consider and eventaully reject. Talk about a job creation scheme.
