are there things as bad mods
i no alot of people think differently about different things ie some hate gold wheels or graphics so are there things as bad mods like you had silver wheels then changed them and got a ripping or you had graphics put on. maybe it was a engine mod superchip, induction anything at all
personally from what ive heard only superchips seem a bad mod

another personal bad mod was the VTA d/valve, great noise for about 5 mins then pissed me off
. oh and the car ran like ****e aswell
and ITG panel filter, otherwise known as MAF killer.
other than that, quite happy with all the mods. not so happy when i count up how much it's cost

dave,
you'll be ok with the itg filter mate
you have an earlier maf sensor which isn't as vunerable as the later ones.

Flame kits are a bad mod in my book, remind me too much of the max power boys, each to their own as a few on here have them but its just my opinion

The bog standard tax disc holder, once you peel it off the windscreen to change the disc it never sticks properly again, then it wrinkles and it looks ****, eventually you'll take a corner with the window down and there goes your tax.
I had a metal one on an old Escort, it was black, and I painted the silver bits black, it stuck securely at the front and had 5 allan bolts at the back to get at the disc, When the car inevitably got nicked, they stripped the radio, the speakers, my CD collection, tool kit, spare can of petrol but could not figure out how to get my tax disc out so they left it.
I'll probably put it in my new legacy, right in the top left corner so I can't see it due to the sun visors.
