marcusgrant Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Recently i have been thinking that with a bit of work, the fox could look quite good! I know there are very few modified ones around over here and i wonder that when the prices start to come down more with age, whether they will become quite popular with people into modifying cars, like a large percentage of us are.I, myself would quite like to be given a few thouands and let loose on one.. i think they could look really special!So yeah, dicuss really. Do you think they have a future in the VW scene and if so how big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think it could have a place.But I think there horrid as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1.0e Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think when they get a little cheaper they will begin to get a following, its a VW and that will count for something! I agree I have seen a few recently that don't look so offensive I think part of the Foxes problem has been a lack of a sportier model to act as a halo model. I think this means people will struggle to see it as anything other than a cheap shopping car with a basic interior and an unusually high ride height , this will probably mean that the Fox will end up being an every day car that people will tinker with on low budgets or as an additional car. But as some of the project cars on here show, these often end up being more impressive than show cars that never get use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 There alright but there a bit bland looking. You can make them look good but for around the same money there are much more interesting things that look better. I think as they get cheaper people will buy them more because of the price and then end up tinkering with them to make them look better.

Guest Lauryn Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Naw naw naw naw naw.They are just awful, 3 weeks of driving one was more than enough for me. I dont think anything can save them. They sit SO high standard, it honestly felt so weird, as if I was about to go right through the front window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LupoGTiNAB Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Put in the right amount of money and any rubbish car, like the fox, could easily look great but as for the answer to the question it's a great big fat NOPE. The fox is just too rubbish, it's got no style, look at all the cars that people use in the "VW scene" even standard they're all bloody lush ...

Silver! Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 If the 'right person' buys a Fox it will become "scene", because "scene" is a bunch of followers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdwardo Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The cars amazingly "plain" and without character... I've seen things like this online:... but unless you want a VW that looks like an old Fiat Punto with a bodykit on it... I struggle to see the appeal.

sheady Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 the main problem for them is not the looks because that can be modified accordingly , the main issue is they are absolutely horrible to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I think the low take up from new is the poor engine and high price. There are more credible alternatives for the same money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 'right person' buys a Fox it will become "scene", because "scene" is a bunch of followers.This is the only comment with any truth i think! Like Ray says, if the right person/people do one, it could become scene! otherwise i dont think it has a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen things like this online:... but unless you want a VW that looks like an old Fiat Punto with a bodykit on it... I struggle to see the appeal.That looks more like a C2 than a Fox. Dumped on air they might look alright, but that would only be when parked up. Oli's one was alright on the banded steels, but it still wasn't the prettiest thing alive.

DanSN117 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 There was one rolling around edition with merc hub caps on it that looked pretty dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lauryn Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Oli had the 'nicest' Fox I've seen but they are seriously hideous cars. I remember when I took it back to VW to pick the Lupo up and the salesman was slagging it off saying it was designed for old people and as a disability car, tbh hes not wrong, they are so unappealing.

marcusgrant Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 looks like there is zero love for the fox I still think they could be quite a cool car! Would need a fair bit of work though.I suppose one of the great things about the lupo is that with just the right drop and wheels they can look awsome.

b19jow Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I would love to do one.. Think they could be realy cool if someone put some thought into it. If its got a vw badge it has its place in the "scene" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB&D Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 i dont think theyre the nicest cars in the world but i do think you could make em look half right... just abit of effort and thought involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 FOX GTi please.I have seen some of dem krazeh Belgians do some wicked mods to a Fox, subtle, like Lupo mods. But it does look awful standard, and agreed on the height. Its like... stupid high. Same with the stock Lupo, wtf were they thinking.

JoshB&D Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 i had a dream the other night about a '' Fox GT '' it was gunmetal grey and bigger arches kinda like the Beetle RSI.
