i think when you get to the age of about 15-17 and you start getting interested in cars and looking forward to getting licence you need a role model,are you going to look up to the old guy in the jag or the young guy in the bodykitted saxo with huge exhaust etc or the guy in the standard looking tuned 2 litre clio?
functional mods are lost on most people when they first pass their test as most don't really understand how a car works.so they know for insurance purposes etc their going to end up with a pretty crap car i.e 1 litre 12v corsa,so is it any wonder people like to try and give them fancy paint jobs big wheels bodykits...?so at about the age of 15-16 they start buying max power/fast car and all they see is cars with all these stick on bits what are they meant to think?
if i see a decent car modified and i don't like it well as long as their happy do i care?the only one's i laugh are one's like the mk3 astra's 5 door rusty as fook big scooby style mud flaps,lexus light,and huge universal backbox maybe some neons and a sunstrip you get the idea.if i had a car like that i would spend the money tidying it up.
i don't blame people for trying to make their cars different but some people take it far to far.they also normally have the big headed opinion their cars better than a standard one.personally i wouldn't want to be brandished a boy racer by doing all of this.
i think everyone who does it like said will grow out of it and probobly look back and laugh at what they did in years to come,but at least they like to try, a lot of things on cars these days have come from modified cars like dark wheels,twin exhausts,splitters etc so it isn't all bad
Reminds me of that V6 colour - Moonshine Blue or something? Does it actually go darker the further towards the rear of the car you look, or is that a trick of the light?
