I agree with most things mentioned on this thread to be honest, apart from the keep engine bays standard example. Modified cars need modified parts, i've fitted my parts because i need them not because i like the look.
To add to the list though, people who don't know the difference between positive and negative camber. I'm basing that purely on some examples in this thread btw.
Also it's worth remembering people like different things. Theres probably a thread on a forum somewhere with people moaning about cossies narrow wheels lost in the arches.
Everyone slates the VAG lot (and in a lot of cases i can see why) but at least the aren't shit scared of trying different offsets of wheels on their cars.

Everything has its time.
On the original subject. Running a jap square plate on a uk car usually relocated to the side!
Shit stickers to state the modding style they're going for. There's a diesel golf with an OEM+ sticker among others but a massive aftermarket intercooler sticking out the front, whats oem+ about that?

The thing that annoys me about other car users is the twats who "check" their brakes every 30 seconds on the motorway or sit on the arse of the car in front and have to keep braking.
With regards to modified cars though ridiculous arch gaps! Like a typical saxo vtr with being wheels, loud exhaust and body kit but still on stilts. I'm not into the whole stanced thing but sitting just above the tyres is spot on

Fast Car is actually getting good these days since Stav from Redline moved there, far more performance orientated.
As Jed said really.
Take someone that can pedal a VTEC motor properly and it'll embarrass far more expensive machinery.

Exactly that.
Sometimes a picture tells a thousand words, but some still need it spelled out!
