[Knuckles]

Have eyelashes been said? f**king despise those with a passion.


IMO they just advertise that the owner of said vehicle is a ****

 

[matty w]

Track car look when they've never been near a race circuit but insist on calling it there track car

Nurburgring stickers when you've never been there

£50 coil over kits wound all the way down

 

[matty w]

Do you mean aftermarket or out of the factory aswell ?As most modern hatchbacks would look daft with 17's or smaller

Stupid iPad that was meant in reference to the post about 17's and bigger on hatchbacks as golf gti's,megane sports etc would look terrible

 

[ukaskew]

Good examples of just about everything mentioned so far in my work car park (a College), spotted 4 cars in a row with a Smurf hanging from the tow-eye last week, awesome! Headlight lashes are easily the most amusing, but really badly done sticker bombing comes a close second (a car at work has a very thin spread of very faded and pealing stickers).

I would add overly-fussy alloy wheels into the mix as well, unfortunately most manufacturers are guilty of this let alone the aftermarket.

 

[Slammed172]

At our bodyshop the insurance companies have told the estimators to look out for hanging smurf's as it's a sign they were racing, Lol. True story.

Thing is though, the sort of retards that have these on their 1.2's are the same sorts of people that would 'race' each other and end up flipping it over a hedge at 50mph so that kinda makes sense.

Worst mod has to be manufacturers putting diffusers on everything!

I forgot to add;

Silvervision bulbs

If having your orange lights appearing orange is such a crime, why not go the whole hog and do the red brake/stop lights too?

theres nothing wrong with silvervision bulbs, just makes the whole car look 10x better and pretty sure most people reckon they look better

 

[Jay.S]

Flocking is pretty s**t.

 

[Goodj]

Stance
Stretched tyres
ridiculous lows
laughable bodykits
exhausts that develop the noise of a car that shouldn't be on the road

 

[sidey]

Not the worst but certainly a recent trend, i'm just not the biggest fan of white cars; somehow this lot looks like a rental fleet to me.

 

[Will.]

The only car out of them I don't like is the Alfa. The rest look smart tbh.

My point...you missed it completely.

A car has orange lights on all four corners...it has to by law. So why is it deemed so wrong for them to look orange when they're not illuminated?

Because the masses say so?

Sheep.

 

[LiamR172]

So Mark, you think this looks better than a clio with silver indicators?

Call me a sheep but I couldn't care less. It looks 10X better so I'm a sheep!

I should have just put that piece of s**t in my first post, seems to cover most of my list. Awful, awful car

Lmao. f**king hideous!

 

[Goodj]

Another RX-7 wasted by chavtards.

If they could just stick to Saxos and BMW's, the world would be a marginally better place

No.

I'm saying that the tiniest smidgen of orange on each corner really makes no difference at all in my eyes as to how a car looks.

What about the red lenses on the rear? Why don't people get rid of that as well? Does that make a car look s*it?

 

[LIL B]

Lows & Yos.

Lexus lenses?

Strangely, no, this play doesn't bum up to them, which is confusing.

Good point.

What aren't lexus lights cool then? They get rid of that crap red lense look at the back after all!

 

[LiamR172]

Clear indicators look better than orange, just cause you don't like it, its a s**t mod?
Guess its your opinion and we don't all like the same things, but its certainly not a bad mod.

Having red lenses is a compltely different thing!

 

[JT182]

Painted Renault diamonds. I don't mind carbon alternatives as they're quite nice, but orange/green diamonds on a silver/black car? No, just no.

 

[Chri5]

Headlight eyelashes.

 

[SimonR.]

So if we add everything up in here, as a group 'ANY MODIFICATIONS WHICH ARN'T PERFORMANCE RELATED ARE GHEYY' would be the general answer

 

[MarkCup]

Yup.

Except Silvervision bulbs apparently.

:rasp:
