Apart from the last pic, oh dear oh dear. They be a mix of Evo vents and utter s***e for clarification 
Why do they bother when the money they have spent one these cars could have gone towards something a lot better in the first place.
I know we've all got to start somewhere but I cant help but laugh when I see these sort of cars (cough-maxpower-cough)
Spend your money more wisely my young apprentices.

I never sussed out why they want to lug about 1/2 ton of stereo equipment in the boot? The spoilers wouldn't clear a catseye in the road, never mind a pothole.
Lax Power has a lot to answer for! They're taste is in they're R's.

IMHO.....why spend 3grand on kit and wheels to make ur corsa look like a Jap beast....why not buy one or just upgrade to a better standard car!!!

You guys are all such hypocrits, everyones needs to start somewhere, dont tell me your scoob is the only car uve modded
When you pass your test not many Dads say "hey son ive bought you a scooby to cruise in". they say "heres the keys to your 1.2 corsa". Theres nothing really wrong with any of those cars.
Not everyone can afford to buy, insure, run and mod a scooby. especially given the price difference in performace and styling parts for scoobs compared to cheaper hot hatches.
And i bet theyre not all sheeps in wolfs clothings either.
Ive been in 2litre turbod 6speed novas and they really do fly. There is no better feeling as you look at the faces of owners of scoobs/bmws etc etc as you pull away from them @ licence loosing speeds.
All of this can be done reasonably cheaply and its still cheaper to insure than a scoob.
Yes I have owned and moded novas but i now have a scoob cos i dont have the time or space to do engine transplants like my mates do.

I agree with M14YEN - You all mod your Scoob's so whats wrong with modding other cars when your younger, and cant afford a real performance car. Just because these guys have modded cars you dont need to automatically jump on them for stealing scoops's etc. Ok there is the element that will steal car parts etc but you cant tar everyone with the same brush.

i mean who hasn't de'tango'd their car or stuck in an alloy tax disc holder. it's all modding in one form or another.
but i look at the money side of it....y spend 3grand on kit on a car worth 2grand....???
i would spend that money on a deposit for a new car!!!

but nobody ever thinks at the time that maybe they if didnt buy those lowering springs or that nice momo steering wheel etc etc that they could save up those odd x hundreds for a deposit towards something better
Its just not in the nature of the boyracer/young driver/car modifyer.
