    Put a standard exhaust back on and you slip by without anyone noticing - to be honest most people out there think that loud exhaust = look at me i'm a boy racer...

    think you've hit the nail on the head there, but people who appreciate what they actually are and know what there about, love em

    Williams isn't a boy racer car imo, as most people old enough to matter know what it is and remember it from when it was new. It's too well respected to be one, plus high insurance keeps it out the wrong hands.

    Valver however I'd say is, there's loads of scallys getting hold of them round my way now and driving them like cunts.

    So what about a hybrid

    Being serious though, I don't think it is a boy racers car - but I think thats what the majority of Joe Public think because it has gold wheels and a bonnet bulge. As everyone says though those that know exactly what it is don't see it as a boy racers car but as more of a classic hot hatch. I've had both ends of the extreme where some people will basically laugh at it thinking I've modified it with the bonnet bulge, but then I've also come back to the car with people having a nose around it / taking picures of it and asking questions etc.

    Usually the people who say it looks like a boy racer car (including my ex) don't have a clue about cars!
