[WIP] Cherrier vivace 1997-2007

[latent trail]

Nice

Right now, it's just a Covet.

[strong token]

Would a 2.1L or so I5 be possible?

[white wagon]

I don’t think that would fit in a covet unless it’s heavily modified

[somber plank]

i might try to fit the i5 form the new vivace but as ion said it will be a pain so it might be a late update, after release

[latent trail]

Mate, take some inspiration from the first generation Renault Mégane, Peugeot 206, and the Citroën Xsara.
Still, it's a really cool project.

[somber plank]

to an extent yes but there are quite a few hard too see eg the firewall mounted intercooler

[trail stone]

modern engine in a old Vivace??

[somber plank]

im thinking of the corsa b and c, the mod file is called not a corsa atm

[somber plank]

yeah lol

[strong token]

Ahh, alr, I was just wondering if it was possible

[trail stone]

??

[somber plank]

it will take time but ill give it a go

[latent trail]

😄

[somber plank]

it will be aftermarket, sorry forgor to mention that

[trail stone]

oh ok

[somber plank]

as i said some madmen saw the potential of the car and its chassis (being a less known covet + cheaper near enuf)

[tight tapir]

just a reminder that the picnic is literaly this but better

it makes no sense in the cherrier lore

[somber plank]

ok... this is a different vehicle

[tight tapir]

yeah but why would cherrier make the same vehicle type

it would just eat its own market share

[latent trail]

Let's be honest...
The Peugeot 106 is smaller than the 206, and even the 306. Does this mean that those cars would "eat" their own revenue, because all three are hatchbacks?
Also, the Picnic is smaller than the Vivace.

[kindred dove]

but the covet is the same size as the picnic

so its would eat their own revenue

[unkempt linden]

blud just make a 206

sloppily cutting up vanilla cars wont do any justice

[kindred dove]

also the picnic would be a much better seller due to the covet being a old platform

also the model year is far too wrong

2007? really?

[unkempt linden]

the french don't use Jap cars for their Golf-sized offerings.

unless you happen to have the '24 Colt

[kindred dove]

that will never make sense

[unkempt linden]

or any slop mitsubishi makes that has the size of a Golf

[kindred dove]

to use a 80s platform till nearly 2010

[latent trail]

The Opel Corsa was sold in Mexico as a Chevy and it was sold until 2012.

[kindred dove]

especially it being cherrier

a massive brand in the lore

[kindred dove]

youre talking about mexico, not worldwide

[latent trail]

I know.

[unkempt linden]

developing country moment

[ancient shuttle]

same with the 1991 sentra i think

Sold until idk

[kindred dove]

peugeot still sells the 208 or whatever in iran

the 2007 one

[latent trail]

True.

[unkempt linden]

yeah no lol third world cars are wildly different than in the West, which i assume this vehicle is meant to be sold in Europe

[kindred dove]

but with updated shit

[kindred dove]

it doesnt say anything about the marked so i assume its sold worldwide

which makes even less sense

[ancient shuttle]

the most recent example of a platform thats been going since the 90's and finished selling in like 2011 or smth was the ford ranger and the crown vic so, and the van

[unkempt linden]

unlike our cars, where they'd rotate lineup every few years (unless its Audi, where its like 10?) third world cars usualyl go on for longer than generations of western cars

[ancient shuttle]

atleast in a first world country.

[unkempt linden]

that's not a Corsa

[kindred dove]

not meant to be rude, but i really dont see any point in this mod

[latent trail]

Well, because old cars tend to be more reliable.

[unkempt linden]

and the Vic has recieved many facelifts during the lifecycle @ancient shuttle

[ancient shuttle]

yeah and so did the ranger

[unkempt linden]

mexican cars barely get any facelifts

[ancient shuttle]

The ranger isnt mexican

[unkempt linden]

no im talking about mexican market cars

not the first world shit

[ancient shuttle]

Ohhh

[latent trail]

The Chevy had like three.

[unkempt linden]

iirc iran had the 405 as the Peugeot Pars

[latent trail]

Oh, yes.

[unkempt linden]

tho that had a facelift or 2

but the car ultimately is still 405

[ancient shuttle]

i think this mod should atleast have a change in body proportions and stuff, and facelifts lol

[ancient shuttle]

just so it makes more sense

[unkempt linden]

just make a whole new model

if you dont know how, then learn blender modelling

[woeful meteor]

the mk2 jetta was produced to like 2013

[unkempt linden]

china scrap

[kindred dove]

iran also had the 207i

[unkempt linden]

had to actually look that up to see what that was

[kindred dove]

ngl thats actually cool

[kindred dove]

a modernized 206 basically

[latent trail]

Except China isn't a third world country.

[kindred dove]

honestly kinda is

[ancient shuttle]

cursed

[unkempt linden]

could be second world but whatever

[ancient shuttle]

but hey that makes finding replacement parts easier

[kindred dove]

except the coastline its pretty horrible

[unkempt linden]

also doesnt VW have strong ties with Chinese automakers

[woeful meteor]

it looks like they tried making the mk2 look like a mk6 golf

[latent trail]

It looks cool, admittedly.

I love modernised old cars.

[kindred dove]

if done correctly

[ancient shuttle]

waiting until some mf in usa buys a whole chineese modernized front end for that jetta and does the swap lmao

[woeful meteor]

me too

[ancient shuttle]

hell they could even do it on a golf of ghe same gen

[woeful meteor]

2004 model year beetle 💀

[unkempt linden]

aint that because Mexico really liked the MK1 beetle

[latent trail]

Real.

Yes!

[kindred dove]

the FJ Cruiser:

[unkempt linden]

not 1930s

[woeful meteor]

2007 volkswagen citi golf was a modernised mk1

[unkempt linden]

wasnt anything from VW in Mexico back in like 2008 old shit tho

[kindred dove]

it was

[ancient shuttle]

2003-2020 Toyota corolla in china

[latent trail]

Of course.

[unkempt linden]

same with any non western country

[ancient shuttle]

I think it was made until then in china

[unkempt linden]

Chinese Audis

[woeful meteor]

volkswagen santana 2012

[latent trail]

But those tend to be more reliable than first world models.

[unkempt linden]

im not sure which Audi, but the boxy audis

[kindred dove]

thats just awful now

[woeful meteor]

mk2 passat

[unkempt linden]

vw brasilia

[latent trail]

Hongqi.

[unkempt linden]

yeah but which audi mdoel

80?

5000?

i know it was one of the pre A suffix models

[latent trail]

I think the 5000.

[unkempt linden]

o

[kindred dove]

o

[woeful meteor]

this was also a 2012 in china

[unkempt linden]

super base model audis might as well be the mexican market models the way they're speced like a romanian prison cell

[latent trail]

Of course.

I see A3 and A4 saloons most of the time.

But the Q5 is good, too, and is produced here.

[unkempt linden]

the super super base models?

[latent trail]

What are those?

[unkempt linden]

no quattro
no sport pack
no options whatsoever
fleet buyer special lookin ass cars

[latent trail]

Oh, yeah.

[unkempt linden]

dont mexico produce many chrysler cars

[latent trail]

Yes.

[latent trail]

But to be fair we have sport pack, S, RS and Quattro cars here.

[unkempt linden]

true tho

but no i mean the base model cars with 2008 ahh wheels

not the average trim level

[unkempt linden]

wait no i think im talking about ferrari lol

because why does ferrari have 6 figure cars with 5 spokes that look like they belong on a cheap car

[kindred dove]

ferrari?

[unkempt linden]

base model purosangue

daytona sp3 too

[kindred dove]

still better than a escalade on steelies

[unkempt linden]

those are actual oem options?

[kindred dove]

i saw them somewhere so i think yeah

[unkempt linden]

being too broke to get nice factory wheels but yet get a cadillac

[kindred dove]

might be for the earlier models tho only

[unkempt linden]

ye prob

same effect as buying a base model 3-series with nothing on it

the F30 in particular

[kindred dove]

thats a similar logic like a RS Octavia i saw a while ago, it was a nice mettalic blue RS with hubcaps💀 i dont even know how did he get that spec, you literally cant even configure that yourself

[unkempt linden]

prob just slapped hubcaps on there

[kindred dove]

they were the OEM hubcaps Skoda offers for the Active trim so thats interesting

[unkempt linden]

im not sure if its the same effect as getting bmw hubcaps

https://shop.bmw.co.uk/13729/genuine-17-steel-wheel-rim-cover-hub-cap-36-10-6-783-332/ yesn't kinda thing

prob winter wheels idk

[kindred dove]

ohhh right

that makes sense now

[unkempt linden]

prob easier to get modern hubcaps for skodas tho

[kindred dove]

yeah

[unkempt linden]

was using bmw as an example tho, yet they havent made a car with hubcaps in years

[kindred dove]

that reminds me now of my friends dads Tiguan R
he has winter wheels with hubcaps so you can guess how weird that looks

[kindred dove]

right yeah

[unkempt linden]

dont want to ruin those nice wheels

[kindred dove]

lmao

[unkempt linden]

props to him for that

[kindred dove]

they were considering buying the new Tiguan a while ago, idk how that went

[stark spruce]

Me sees french car, me hopes its inspired by my car, me crosses finger, me happy for now, me wish the dev a happy day

[kindred dove]

Me sees french car, me hopes its atleast somewhat good, me dissapointed its another Covet

[stark spruce]

Is it gonna stay like a rebadged covet???

[kindred dove]

i think so

my expectations are very low

[stark spruce]

Fr bruh i just saw what it was, a covet with pessima parts😔 how dissapointing tbh

I was like " ok he's just using it as a base to remodel or smthn but nope 😕

[kindred dove]

i didnt expect anything more from a “cherrier” that has a 10 year life on a 80s platform

[somber plank]

right there seems to be a bit of toxicuty going on here, i will remove the cherrier name and change some dates but i do want all of you to bear in mind IM A NEW MODDER and this is why i am so so about keeping this up

@tight tapir thanks for all the toxic criticism towards a new modder...

[kindred dove]

why are you starting with a full on car if you are new to modding?
just curious

[tight tapir]

toxic?

im just stating the ovious

[kindred dove]

let me get this straight

[tight tapir]

and yeah as @kindred dove saidm why are you making a car as a first mod

[kindred dove]

lichi you only said stuff about the picnic being already cherrier hatchback flagship in that era right?

[tight tapir]

i put it a bit meanly

but yes

[kindred dove]

and that theres no point in cherrier creating a same exact car and stuff idk

[tight tapir]

and that its another of those boring rebadges

[kindred dove]

how is that toxic criticism tho

[tight tapir]

cuz i said it in a non nice way

[kindred dove]

making this a Jinhai-Ibishu would make much more sense

or a Yamato

[kindred dove]

if that was non nice way then mine was straight from hell…

you just said the truth

that the picnic is better

well

because it is a scratch made mod by a much more experienced modder

[somber plank]

All, im just starting out here, proud of my first attempt and learning a lot from it. I am taking a bit of flak here so will close this down and come back when i have worked a bit more on it.

<@&710084482031550547> please can you temp close this post

[kindred dove]

is the body going to stay or are you going to change the body a bit

[somber plank]

it will be customised heavily this is very early wip

[kindred dove]

hmm ok
