Default Your pet hate car mods of other people?

Thought I'd start a thread to list your pet hate car mods of other car owners.
Some people may agree or disagree but I thought I'd give a couple to get the ball rolling...

In no particular order

1. 'M' badges stuck on any old BMW.
2. Saxo's etc with massive 'MOTORSPORT' sunstrips.
3. Chrome reg plate surrounds.
4. Lexus lights.
5. Bonnet bras.
6. Those tacky LED strips stuck under headlamps.

That's it for now lol!

Got to be cars that have the daft camber with tyres that barely fit on the alloys. Common round here on vw golf mk3/4 and bmw's if you manage to see one between all the sheep following the vw transporter bollocks!!!

Rear tinted windows as you cannot tint the fronts and remain legal. What is the point? Is it to hide their ugly family?

Miss-spelt, miss-spaced, wrong fonted number plates.

1. Ridiculous amounts of camber (a bit on a track or competition car is fine, but not the stupid levels you see nowdays)
2. Stupidly stretched tyres
3. Cars that are stupidly low, low is good, but it still needs to be driveable

and not such a mod but the people involved in the scene get on my tits, the whole "because racecar (more often than not its a stupid 1.0 micra, ye well racecar!), and referring to circuit racing as "grip racing" and car needs more lows etc. Learn how to fucking talk you cunt!!!


Ok Greg breathe.......

Wow thanks so much for the warning on this one mate, have not heard of this clown language before so will avoid anyone spouting this kind of arse

Actually does "Grip Racing" not refer to the seconds it takes for these misfits to ejaculate in their Paxos

Stick on bonnet vents.

Carbon bonnets. (I just don't get it)

Them shitty leather look seat covers that fit like a 3 fingered glove.

Massive sunstrips

Crappy spaced number plates as they usually afford a decent private plate.

Black and silver plates on cars that shouldn't have them.
