People who put huge stickers of a tuning company on their cars.

Seen a load of these boostjunkie stickers... I just think COCK

On a side note I saw a thing on FB from them saying they found it funny how other companies were copying their exhaust. How many ways can you do an exhaust on a mk2 frs..? muppets

Screw in towing eyes left in for the full "trackday" look!
Added led drl's that are obviously added and are brighter than the headlights.
Forced rat look especially coupled with a roofrack full of random shite!
Nurburgring stickers.
Pistonheads stickers
Imprezas with rally rep shite all over, especially on a completely standard wrx!

Wheel's with tyre's that don't fit, people doing the whole "euro" look to ford's, bang tidy stickers, and sound system's more powerful than the engine and people putting rs badges on st's

I don't mind rally decals on a car, as long as they've gone the whole way and done it properly (like what Clint's done with his cars) I reckon it looks fine. Helps if there's a serious engine under the bonnet too.

Nurburgring stickers.
M60ring stickers. (M60 being the motorway that surrounds Manchester for you southern folk)
Type R badges on Type S Civics.
M badges or number plates that have M5 on there on a standard 520d.

False advertising basically.

anything that doesn't improve the cars performance. anything ''scene'. I fucking hate that word and everything it stands for in car terms. sticker bombing, tinted rears, clear lenses ect ect. a nice set of wheels is the only thing that should be changed in terms of asthetics.

Ok Greg breathe.......
Hahah, my list was going to be exactly this!!

People saying 'Hella flush' and taking pictures of cars with some trainers in the pic... shit like that too.

Oh and mongs saying their Zetec is always 'on' WTF! (see recent thread)

And hanging little teddy bears and shit on their rear towing eye/hook.. usual some old Civic with a bean can exhaust and lime green wheels..

The euro look looks ok on some cars. But like other people have said stretched tyres. Surely they must be dangerous.

TRS Tow straps on yer maws shopping car!! Just in case the young fella ditches it in Asda car park and needs towed out? Totally pointless. Guess TRS won't be complaining though!

Rear camber on anything, why? 100 miles and the fucking sidewall is out of the tyre??

Also find all the scene talk like the above quote "car needs more lows" or all that "hellaflush" very very cringey!!!

pet hates are cars re-badged to something they are not along the lines of a escort finesse re-badged to a gti, or a bog standard car with a rs badge on, and dont get me started on stupid tow straps hanging out, back in my day it was poxy garfields stuck on windows or static strips dangling down or back windows full of box speakers especially goodmans

For me the worst thing about 'modded' cars has to be when people spend more on tat then the actual value of the car.

Usually a mondeo with shit stuck on it or a corsa with 17"s and a massive back box. Etc...
