What about huge, heavy sound systems which really go against the purpose of the car?

lol at the lights, i'd fit it for a laugh and only for switching on for a few seconds when you get people right up your backside. would give them a fright.

does look rubbish though; when he has them on it looks like the front of the car. very stupid.

IMO and in no particular order:

knock off parts
DIY mods such as parking sensors and LED DRLs etc.
cold warm air intakes
cheapo coilovers and tyres (the S deserves better)
ridiculously low ride height and dodgy suspension geo
crappy alloy wheels with poor offsets
outrageous bodykits
ironing board spoilers on otherwise standard cars.

However, I'm prepared to be persuaded otherwise.....

Chris.

Carbon fibre bonnets. Especially the ones with holes in. It's not so much the fitting of said bonnet, but the claiming that it's "for weight saving" or "to improve cooling" that's really crap.

Some would say heated seats mod fits into the crap mod category...I say top down in January at the Ricky run with a toasty backside is the way to go
