We all go on about our best mod - cheapest brake horse power increaser, or our most awesome looking rear wing and body kit.

But who has spent a fortune on something that was, well, frankly, SH1TE?????

Be it a truely horrid WRC style wing - that you simply had to rip off, or a brake kit that simply broke the bank...

Can we have a list of "dont bother with"... mods please.

I'll start with the carbon fibre smelly thing from halfords that has a fan on it that never works... oh and Broquets (sorry - could resist).

I bought an alloy *** lighter from Half*rds, it matched my alloy gearnob, looked good! Went to put it in and...... the little b1tch didn't fit! - too big!

Waste af a fiver and I cant be arsed to go back and change it.

Subarus crappest mod was from MY00 to MY01

(Runs, neigh, sprints and dives for cover)

Sorry Jza, couldn't resist

Mikey

Don't bother flaming me either you lot, me and Jza have this understanding

 

Go faster stripes as they didn't make me go any faster. Money back please.

 

Never had a bad mod b4, I don't think, but a car I saw about a month ago must win hands down.
It was a Nova GTE, with a custom body kit (professional done must have cost proper mony) great big roof spolier with one on the bonnet to match. It was bright red (again professional paint job), the windows looked like they were tinted with bin liners, but what really set it off was the front wind screen, botton half black top half red with near foot high white letters in the red bit displaying in itailics "THE DOGS BOLLOXS".

 

Best one i've seen, some young un on Carnage that had thick black tights around his rear light cluster.

 

Cheers Mikey, always the helpfull one arent you!!!!

PS Best mod for your car - try a car cover with holes for the windscreen

Worst mod of the moment has to be putting blue LEDs on your windscreen washers.

If anyone can explain why people do this, I'd be impressed. The only answer I can think of is to make you look a complete nobber.

 

The Corsa near me that I see every night driving home. Very professional job, large bore twin pipes, lowered massive wheel, roof spoiler, pimp tint, new bulged bonnet, skirts all the way around nicely painted. The problem comes from the fact the number plate in motorbike style is only about 2 inches from the ground.

The road I drive down to get to the estate has three large speed bumps... as high as the curbs and covered in grooves.

I saw this car come up to the bumps and have to go to the other land and then approach the bump on angle to avoid grounding out, even the TVRs and Elise can get over them going straight.

So lowering you car that much when you know what the roads are like... not bright!

 

Silver valve caps - nicked within a week.

£5 down the drain...'roody vandals!

 

Blue LED style valve caps.

As seen at the autosport show euch.

I have to say i really hate those under the car neon light kits!

Jza

There's a guy who works in my company with a nitrus injected.....


Punto!! )

 

Sad Bozo's who put Sparco,OMP or any other harness pads on their seatbelts !!

 

What about Sparco seats in the new 888 Astra ?

J.

 

Dashboard switches that don't do anything - except illuminate the tell tales to say that the switches are on....

Oh, and a mate that used to have a Mk 3 Cortina with an overhead centre console, held on with elastic bands.... Mind those speed ramps.

 

red wiper arm boots & finned spoilers for wiper arms, also in matching red!

 

Rising rate fuel regulator from TSL in May 2000. Rising rate fuel reg is OK but the £205 bill (£72.25 for labour to fit !!!!) was not impressive !
