Default Ridiculous Mods

On the way home from work this afternoon there was a Vauxhall Zafira broken down at the side of the motorway with the most ridiculous bodykit I've ever come across.

Not sure if this topic has been touched on before but can anyone here admit to any seriously bad modding choices in the past? Or even a reasonable mod but done to the most ridiculous car?

I only ask because I've always been against modifying my cars in the past (thinking about it with the S though).

Pictures welcome

On this forum, most people think any mod is "chav"

I put a nasty GT wing on my MR2 .. but that cause I was getting a spoiler coppied and it was better than no wing.

I put a spoiler on the font of my MR2 as well

I've had a door receipt list.

I've had an xbox, ps2 and a 7" tv in the MR2.

I've always thought it chav in the past as well but I think the S looks pretty good with some subtle mods.

Nothing too major you understand?

Possibly even just power-enhancing mods in my case rather than ornamental ones!

It may be useful, but on pure looks, I do think Bibb's front spoiler on the MR2 is the most bizzare looking mod I've ever seen. Bar none.

Always thought Feathers was a pretty ridiculous mod.
