Worst car trends/mods of recent times..

[2Damnsly Andy]

As for people slating the euro look go and look at some of the VW scene cars, Euro is massive there and no two cars look the same. Also for Stance, there is proper stance and then people who bounce the word around and know nothing about it, I'll post some pics up of my old ride later and get all the haters out of the wood work.

 

[LIL B]

I wouldn't bother.

 

[Wayne-G]

Chrome parts are awful, also when people "slam" there car to the ground on Budget coilies and rekon it handles "class!" Get out.

My old car,

And on the track at Brands,

 

[Steven103]

Is that defined as "proper" stance? (srs question because everything looks the same to me except it's an old golf, wheels are the right size, seats are nice and arch gap is spot on.)

I appreciate the hardwork & money that went into that car. However all I see (besides the exceptions stated above which is maybe what adds up to make it "proper") is

• Ruined suspension geometry
• Huge scrub radius
• No sidewall strength
• No camber thrust
• Very firm ride
• Little suspension travel
• Poor traction/grip
• Touring-car spec camber (it's a bit like slapping an F1 rear wing on a Clio because F1 cars are fast and they have rear wings)
• Stupid looking tyres

Maybe you lot are plagued by cars which have the above in addition to:

• Happy meal toy hanging from a towbar (to show how low their FWD "drift" car is FFS)
• Monster stickers
• Bonnet bras
• Wrong sized wheels
• Stupid looking wheels (which are either: fakes, genuine & worth more than a small house or 19" Bentley wheels on an A4)

As for no two cars look the same... haven't you seen all the VW Polos/Golfs that line up at your local Mcdonalds/Halfords. They are all identical except for different wheels. Camber, lows, correct arch gap = "proper" stance? So every single racing car is the ultimate in "proper" stance

Should have bought a Rallye

 

[Goodj]

Steven103 knows

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Should have bought a Rallye

had a 2.0 16v in it when I finished, and was about £6000 cheaper than a Rallye.

 

[joe18two]

I hate the "built not bought" sticker, u haven't built it u have just put a set of wheels on u idiot.

 

[Goodj]

I hate the "built not bought" sticker, u haven't built it u have just put a set of wheels on u idiot.

and a 2.0 engine don't forget.
also, they built the suspension to deliberate chew through inner edges within 400 miles.
You certainly wouldn't buy a car that did that

hate seeing that on chav'd cars with Halfraud wheels and lexarse lights.

my caddy has been completely stripped and restored - by myself. not sent out for welding, painting or anything.

Waffle is the new word iirc.

i've got a mis-matched pair of old coilovers on the front, leaf springs on the back (and no weight). FWD. gonna handle EPIC.

 

[Goodj]

45mm drop to the left.

lol

i'll make sure its set up for roundabouts - that'll show the suckas in Fiesta/Corsa/Pug

 

[mugglesquop]

STANCE = I f*cked my car up for the sake of being bummed on the internet

UNDERSTEER = hitting the hedge with the front of the car first

OVERSTEER = going into the hedge backwards

HORSEPOWER = How fast you hit the hedge

TORQUE = How far through the hedge you travel

 

[Goodj]

Accurate to the last.

What of monster stickers though, what do they say?

and Lowzzzz, of course, can't forget that lowz = ....ho's? Bro's? Haribos?

 

[LIL B]

Needs a cup sticker or a sport badge.

 

[Jamie16v]

"Built not bought"
"Monster Energy"
"Block #43"
"No fat chicks, car will scrape"
"TOW -->"

Orange Ford badges on orange Focus ST's
Red Ford badges on red Fiesta ST's

Peoples names in halford badges - "Kazza" "Jen" "Adm" - Took advantage of the 3 for £5 deal.
Sport badges not on a RenaultSport!!

Fluro green wheels :quiet:

You'd love USC

You'd love USC

Almsot want to drive into oncoming knobs with green mirrors.

 

[172dean]

Worst trend at the moments is middle aged blokes that seem to have read somewhere that they should drive in all road/weather conditions with only their side lights and fog lights on trying to look like they have OEM daylight running lights!!!!!

Keep an eye out on the road. Their numbers are growing.

Saw this the other day at night on a country lane, I think it was a MPV - knobhead. I feckin hate people that drive with their fogs on with a passion.

 

[ben_r1]

Whats wrong with bonnet bras? Some people use them to genuinely protect from stone chips on long distance trips...

Tarring with the same brush. Tut

 

[Rhod.L15]

Bonnet Bras and show cages.

Both crap.

but yours ruined your bonnet though....

 

[01chris02]

I have to agree, bonnet bras looks cheap and nasty. If you use one on a long distance trip then fair play, I can see why you would. But for people who permanently have them on their car, shame on you. It's hardly like your car is big, chesty and in need of restraints! ;D

 

[Adam-o]

bonnet bras are like getting a new phone and not taking the poly off the screen because it might get scratched.

 

[MarkCup]

Bonnet bras are for people who think having their car look like a spacktard in a straightjacket is better than having a few slight almost unnoticeable stone chips.

Your car is not made of platinum FFS.

 

[.Kev.]

It wouldn't be so bad if the car was decent, to me it just screams utter ***** muscle.

Tow straps/alloy tow eyes are another, only for the hard core track day warrior who intends being towed home.

 

[.Kev.]

Funny coloured wheels are other exterior parts. May as well have a sign on the car pointing to the driver saying "IDIOT"
