Worst car trends/mods of recent times..

[Goodj]

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

This would also include exhausts then.

Depends which exhausts tbh. The standard cheap back box isn't going to do the car antyhing bar the placebo effect but a full system on mine up's it by 12bhp

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

I think this look is more a cry for help than a fashion statement but either way its fully out there!!!!

I present to you the "half rat look"

 

[si_hartlepool]

WTF?

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Also nothing screams clown shoe quite like a SLR with a gold interior..

No amount of money can buy taste, and no amount of taste can earn money

 

[Jamie16v]

That SLR is awful, my poor eyes!

These are my favorite worst modification...



Fake disc brakes over drums...

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

I was gonna make some comment about life being too short to really "hate" any of these little things. If people wanna do things to their car what concern is it of yours.... But then I saw that SLR... I hate that. What a fuckin abortion that thing is!

 

[terryc101]

Flocking is pretty s**t.

Really? I find its a great help.

 

[Slippers]

The new golf does it

Stupid idea imo, i just thought my mate had a foglight out when he followed me out of the works carpark

Odd. I always found the cornering lights on my 197 a great hoot on a country lane. Not essential but helped with tight cornering!

some full on r****d suggestions in here, granted a few are valid, but again they are opinion. Just because its not your scene or look it doesnt make it bad.

Pointless thread kittens, one mans poison is another mans vaccine.

Exhausts free up the revs. Doesn't add power but makes it easier to deliver.

Worst trends... Car forum keyboard warriors

oh and 'track cars' that never see the track.

 

[clancy]

whats peoples problems with stanced cars ? are you just jelous that they look nice or what ?

i can understand over stretched tyres not being to someones taste but the stance side of it always without fail looks better than a car having its wheels hidden under the car

 

[stephen chadwick]

tbh i love stanced cars but i hate it when people think insane camber and silly stretched tyres look good

 

[LiamR172]

I think stance cars look retarded, the ones with the wheels almost layiing flat on the geound.

I remember seeing a honda S200 on here. Was awful!

View attachment 69536

My mums Suzuki splash 1.0 has them on as standard lol!

 

[JLister]

Forget the wiper spoilers ken blocks got a corsa!

 

[Poopensharten]

If you fit a bonnet bra to your car your a r****d, its that simple.

 

[seltking]

before i start this is my opinion each to there own its your car at the end of the day anyways
headlights eyelash's
headlight brows
cheap alloys
10'' exhausts
go faster stripes
fluffy dice
bodykits that look like they was fitted by a child with playdough
sun strips (unless its a track ****)
mpower badges (when its a 316i)
could keep going but ill stop 4 now haha

 

[JLister]

I thought headlight brows and eyelashes were the same?

 

[Alex_X93]

Keep it stock and subtle loud exhausts nono, performance and handling enhancements yes, small amount of induction engine turbo noise yes.

 

[RSteve]

The "fog light w**ker" trend. I'm* trying to start a "Full Beam in their face" trend. Otter c**ts.

Especially those Nissan Jukes, OK fair enough they aren't exactly a 'performance' car but I've seen a couple in the last week or so with 3 sets of lights on inc. fogs.

 

[RSteve]

A peeve of mine recently is people who RUIN perfectly good cars. By this I mean an example round my area, young lad has got a white Ibiza Bocanegra with black wheels, proper smart, I've admired it a couple of times before he started modding. Anyway, each time I've seen it there's something been done to it to ruin it. He's slammed it on it's arse, tinted the rear windows and lights, blacked out the rear and front badges, stuck a s**tty picture of a turbo on the back as well as a 'neverbeen' sticker, and hung a set of black fluffy dice from the rear tow hook. He then proceeds to sit in McDonalds carpark with his mate + Saxo and another mate + Corsa 1.2. He's there every night I go up for scran.

Ruined.

Those Audi LED strip lights too, my Mrs's ex has them taped all over his Astra diesel, bellend.

my audi has them as standard. means they dont judder and wipe properly at 70mph

DRL's......honest

Oh and I could give you a run for your money in it

This has some of the things that you guys hate, lots of lows stretched tyres, poking out a little.

Yet id say that car looks sick, am i wrong?

 

[mugglesquop]

am i wrong?

Yes.

this is "sick":

xD
No really, I've seen a couple and they look like bloody spaceships cruising along with all those lights on!

 

[leeds_182]

I've never been bored at a vw show, this is because the cars tend to be different! I can't really say the same about cliosport meets.

Each to their own.

 

[SimonR.]

xD

It's cos the sidelights are on top of the bonnet and the headlights are in the middle so you get two seperate lights at all times when the headlights are on

 

[Owen_m]

Yes.

this is "sick":

That is nice, i am a fan of euro cars though it has to be said , everyone has there own opinions. But well i nearly bought a 6n polo the other day!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

The "rat" look, never understood the appeal or how others could.

I like rat look on the old VW campers and beetles, forced rat look on new cars is just someone ruininbg paintwork and the look of a car for no reason. Genuine rat look came from cars as thats literally how they looked, albeit the look was aided a bit but slammed campers on nice rims with faded paint and minimalist everything look awsome...fact.

 

[Matty_N]

Mine seem to wipe properly and don't judder at 70 mph. Besides if they're fitted as standard then they aren't a mod are they?

I don't dislike them for what they are. I dislike the whopping great chrome alloy neon aftermarket tat versions people attach. I'm sure on your Audi they are very discreet, bespoke and functional items.
