The manic passion of Soviet citizens to tuning can be explained by the general asceticism of their surrounding reality. The houses were gray, the road is uneven, and the clothes are nonsense. Therefore, people splashed their creative energy for everything that came across arm. Particularly suffered transport.
Since childhood, our compatriots have accustomed to making the spokes of a bicycle with a colored wire, hang out of countless cataphoves, and framing the sidu fur. By the time the person grew and transplanted on the car, the tractor or bus, he had already had clear ideas about the beautiful and could fully apply his knowledge in the field of design. Fortunately, the car is a wordless, and therefore cannot give delivery.
Toning
Best toning is curtains. Now they acquire a new life in connection with the ban on the tinting of the front windows. Returns the old Soviet trend. True, then the curtains were more beautiful, with fringe.The second way to toned the wheelbarrow is to take the glass with a tape. This is a painstaking process that requires exposure and hard hand. The isolate must be glued with stripes from the inside, trying to ensure that the lumens between the layers were equal to the width of the ribbon. So it turns out beautiful tinting of blue or black color depending on the type of tape.Not all tuning elements can be done. Something will have to buy. For example, a plastic design that is attached to the rear window and simultaneously imitates several spoilers and performs the role of tinting. It is not known who invented it, but the domestic auto passages it fell to taste. But the biggest lovers of this crap are the owners of hot sedans produced by the Volga Automobile Plant.
Lights
Any owner of the car will confirm that the headlights in peaceful life are fighting very rarely. This can only happen in the case of an accident or aiming of a large cobblestone. But in the Soviet Union it was accepted carefully to treat things. Therefore, the headlights protected as they could. Usually for this, special purchased meshes were used.And another important addition to the headlights. They can not be enough. The owners of the Zhiguli, Muscovites and Volga necessarily added large yellow or white fog. At least two, the maximum was limited only by the fantasy of the owner.
Mudguards
The mudguards are an important part of the style. The experienced drivers say that the blue mudguards add ten horses to the power of the motor. And this is not a joke. The mudguards with the Mercedes icon or Audi are still very valued. They perfectly complemented the image of the Volga and UAZ.
Spoiler
Without a spoiler, the tuning of the body was considered unfinished. It looks great and on the hatchbacks, and on the sedans. The more spoiler, the better. It adds another 20 horses to power. And the power, as you understand, does not expect.
If the cars could speak, then the incessant moan of pain and suffering would stand above the roads of the Soviet Union.
Salon
The interior is seen not all, but it is he who creates the necessary comfort. Each little thing affects the psychological state of the driver and passengers. Let's start with the seats. They must be covers. Firstly, it is beautiful, and secondly, the factory covered cabin remains so better. As long as the driver does not buy or does not easily save the covers for a new car, it is necessary to drive without removing the cellpophane from the seats.The seats are also perfectly looking for colored halves, and a massager must be on the driver's seat. True, this thing is as short-lived, how beautiful. Massager consists of small wooden kegs, strung on a thick fishing line, which is pretty fast.
Rule
The steering wheel was made to sneak fur. Particularly needlework drivers flew the steering wheel with pipes from droppers. By giving, it increased the handling of the vehicle. And the hands did not swell. Those citizens who have lacked money on fur, soaked the steering wheel with a dense layer of the tape. The blue tape is generally always served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Soviet designers.
Gearbox lever
He was considered a table symbol that personifies the male strength and health of the owner of the car. Therefore, large beautiful knobs from plexiglas acquired for him. Inside, as a rule, there was a beautiful rose. Special chic was considered a set of an embodied lever for the lever and four pimples that locked up the doors.
Windshield
It was customary to design pennants, and in a circle under the rubber band of the sealing coins. They said that it was for money. Also a good tone was considered to hang a bundle of triangular flags of different states. It symbolized the world around the world and gave the driver to the feeling of involvement in the international policy of the state. The drivers of buses were especially fond of pennants. Fortunately, the place allowed.
CD
This is a mandatory attribute of the car, but he appeared in the nineties and refers to the post-Soviet tuning. Below the belief that the CD on the windshield saves from the radars of traffic cops. Some seal it under the gum of the seal with a mirror side to the enemy, while others believed that the power of this device was in his flicker. Therefore, the uniform was suspended under the mirror of the rear view, to rotate, it reflected the malicious rays of the police radar.
Flavor
Without it, the design of the car does not have the right to be considered completed. The more flavors, it is better. They must hang from the rear view mirror next to the CD. But the largest chic was the fragrance of a plastic crown. She was stuck to the torpedo and served the main decoration of the interior.
Torpedo
The crown of tuning salon is the design of the front panel or, as they called, torpedoes. Here it will be good to look a notebook on the suction cup, a fan and a dog with a swinging head. If the funds are pressed, and the ability to buy it all is not, they will save stickers with encouraging inscriptions: "Located myself, the use of the driver", "Do not look at the ass, and look at the foot", etc. Before witty stickers appeared, the drivers adopted oval transformation with beautiful women. Now the art of Russian auto flow is dying. Traditions go into the past, but the wizard remained in the outback, who know how to properly pump the wheelbarrow. If you drive away from large cities, then it is possible to meet interesting patterns of folk art - in all its glory. Naturally, this article lists not all examples of folk tuning. If you can add material, then leave comments - we will read them with pleasure.
