They are grooved and drilled plastic, you slip them on like a spacer and they cover the drum.

Problem is you don't have a caliper showing.

I've seen the fake brembro's too, plastic clip on covers for your std calipers.

Putting a fake one on the NSX would be amusing, or any mid engined car - but I think people who own such cars have a decent amount of common sense

When you say they are fake, do you mean they are real fully working intercoolers which have been mounted on the car for the looks (but aren't plumbed in), or are they fake as in they just look to part, but are non functional?

Either way it's very sad IMO. And where do these kids get all this money from to waste on their cars?

You haven't seen some of the MR2's I have then

They are so cheap to buy now that chavs are getting hold of them, and bolting on their unique styling mods

I've seen pics of MR2's with FMIC's .. working ones .. the lag would be measured using a calendar. Two massive pipes through the cabin too.

Most MR2's pushing high bhp go for boot mounts now.

The popular choice of the chav MR2 is those bathroom towel rails in the front.
