I well remember when magazines and cruises were full of cars like this. Those were the days. Times and fashions change, but the modified car scene was a pretty exciting place back then.
Better than idiotic 13x10" wheels and sticker bombing. at least people put some effort in to it.
Yes and no,
some people put effort in and plenty of others did not.
The ones that made it into magazines put the time/effort/money in, but for each one of them there were 100 knobbers who slapped some s**t from Halfords on and ripped around like a right c**t.
17" TSW's, on stock springs.
Lexus lights
Jap style backbox
poorly fitted under car lights
LED headlight washers
bunch of stickers down the side of the door.
Stick all that s**t on an old Corsa, Saxo or whatever and you were ready to rip it up down the local supermarket.
