Worst car trends/mods of recent times..

[z8jay]

1. Plastidipping everything because you are too poor for real mods

2. Hanging something stupid on your tow bar

3. Sticker bombing

4. Bike racks for "style"

5.Audi DRLs on EVERYTHING

6. Illest sticker or logo

7. "stanced" cars that look stupid and probably handle like a bag of s**t

Feel free to add your own

17" or bigger on a hatchback...

 

[Hi# im steve]

sorry to sound thick but what the flippin' 'eck if plastidipping?

 

[Zorr]

First 3 are not that bad. Bonnet bras are far worse.

It's a spray rubber/paint which you can peel off when you are bored of the colour.

Check youtube.

 

[korncup]

Always thought tyres or rims protruding wheel arches was illegal? plus it look sh**e!

 

[GazST]

I like the DRLs, very clear to see cars on motorway etc

Lexus lights, super low suspension so it looks like its broken, Bonnet bras, wheels to big for the car, shopping lists down the side (esp when they dont have them fitted to the car) just a few lol

 

[Short Norman]

Not a modifying trend but something fitted to new cars that annoys me is when one fog light comes on when they turn a corner. Why do they need to do that are the headlamp so bad that they need to do it..:dead:

 

[Hi# im steve]

oh right not heard of that before (obv.)

 

[Jordi17]

I think plastidip is a good idea for a temporary change of colour.

 

[Beef-Mc]

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

What cars have you seen that do that? My experience of cornering lights is either a fixed additional bulb in the headlight illuminating or the main bulb rotating inside the lamp to cast the beam in the desired direction.

 

[bennno2005]

Tow rings/ straps. Look s**t and are pretty pointless on a road car.

 

[Matthew]

Agree with everything in post #1

Add Black wheels too...

Silver FTW

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

 

[Djw John]

Some mercs and fiats do that too, daft imo

 

[DaveDreads]

One car trend that winds me right up is alot of manufacturers now make the hazards flash whenever anyone brakes,
it's meant to only happen under extreme braking conditions, but i've seen loads of new cars flash their hazards
when they're braking the same as everyone else. :S

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Definitely bonnet bra's, tow eyes, cheap tacky lexus lights and the 'motorsport' sun strips on widscreens!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gouldy]

"euro" styling on anything, asbo coloured wheels, cages in a road car, cheap coilovers, people who make up what horse power their car is and gain 50 hp from an air filter, generic maps, illegal HID kits and supposed track cars that never ever see any track time and are used as dailies.

All these have been done to death and / are f**king stupid.

 

[Jay.S]

The new vauxhalls astras piss me off when they brake the brake lights flash must be a fault and flicker. Nit a mod but it's annoying.

Body kits generally don't do it for me.

 

[Harpham]

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

LOL.

That winds me right up as well, some of the worse culprits where I live are emasculated dads in their piece of sh*t people carriers.

 

[Tiger260]

I love all mods. The entertaiment and amusement some of them give is priceless.


The mod most cars need is a better driver behind the wheel.

 

[MarkCup]

The soft toy hanging from the rear tow eye.

'It's individual init blud!'

Of course it is, that's why you and every single one of your group has exactly the same thing LOL

 

[Adam.]

Monster stickers.

 

[Eddie.]

Hate people who drive with fogs on as said.

I quite like stance on the right car, when done right. Same as the rat look, looks amazing done correctly, on the right vehicle.

I know I'm probably talking to a brick wall here, but some of the things you listed, I quite like!

 

[Hi# im steve]

I have always and will always hate stupidly oversized and loud exhausts on piece of s**t cars

 

[Dan519]

Permanently fitted tow eyes, is your car broken THAT often?

Anything that makes simple maintenance jobs harder like crappy air filters with 9 brackets attached to everything

 

[Jimbo_M]

Has too be the bodykit era for me...terrible lol, or for more recent times i hate all of the gash stickers some people tend to plaster all over their cars but each to their own i suppose.

 

[LiamR172]

106 dimma. Has to be the worst looking thing I've ever seen :s

Also hate bonnet bras and stickerbombing. Don't see the point in either of them tbh.

 

[mikeh]

The newer Vauxhalls flash their brake lights under heavy braking.

My Corsa VXR did it, although only the high level brake light.

 

[bennno2005]

I don't do it but I really don't see why people don't like it. They aren't blinding at all.

The astras do it even when they are braking light, take a look next time you see one.

 

[Stu.]

Smurf hanging off the back/any other tat. :headno:

Dullest first post ever...

My Mrs. 2008 Ibiza does it, from the fogs. Odd.

Just out of interest how can you tell that a road car with a cage/supposed track cars isn't used on track? Also how do you spot the difference between a car with cheap coilovers and one with expensive ones?

Excuse me?!!!

You're taking the trend from (not) Bristol and using it opp north.

Foglight w*****s are w*****s. I hate them. I flash them all. In fact, I even flashed a copper the other day (didn't realise it was a copper). They have no real purpose especially when people drive around during the day with them or just casually at night. Or maybe because it's raining a little bit. FFS.

But the one that pisses me off the most is people that don't know what the rear fog is for. It is there so that when It's foggy and visibility is slim and you have no one behind you, you turn it on so that people coming up behind can see you're there. HOWEVER, when they are no behind you, turn the f**king thing off! I know you're there. I don't need a bright light in my face FFS.

These people also receive the full beam treatment.

 

[SC03OTT]

Aftermarket HIDs.

 

[Greeny.]

Monster stickers.

I thought I was the only one who knew how to use them!

As above, if you can't see any cars behind you, use your rear fogs. If you can, turn the fuc*er off!
