but then, if you agree to that, then you're also giving the low-lifed stancers a get-out that their cars aren't badly modified as it's over the top and ludicrous..

Bad = worse.
Badly mofified cars = Cars that have been made worse at being a car.
Just because a scene has a name, doesn't mean that's an excuse.
If a car is made worse by the mods applied to it, it goes in here.

There are all sorts of deeply disturbing fetishes about the place, with social groups devoted to them, but just because you give something a name doesn't make it any the less deviant or distasteful. It's one thing to modify a vehicle in a way in which the taste of the modifier is called into question, like 'Lambo' doors or 'special' paint effects, oversized 'zorsts' or silly spoilers and wheels, but for the most part those types of mods still leave a useable vehicle under the skin, one which drives as well, or in some cases, better, than a 'factory standard' car.
Then there are those Japanese "Bozo the Clown" scene halfwits who go to the most extreme lengths imaginable to destroy the underlying usefulness of a car, and the 'experts' from the Dub and Lowering scenes in UK who repeatedly come onto this thread defending the frankly indefensible. 'Slamming' cars to the point where they cannot negotiate a dropped kerb without tearing their own bumpers off, and stretching tyres to destruction, whilst inducing imbecilic angles of camber which renders the bulk of the tyres' tread pattern unusable is, to any reasonable person, both stupid and dangerous. Just like the mentalists who stuff their entire cars full of heavy 'ICE' systems to the point where there is no space for either passengers or luggage, or who build games consoles into glove boxes, and especially the total retard who put screens for a DVD player into the headrests of the rear seats of a BMW convertible, FFS
Add in the whole of the MaxPower 'scene' which, shockingly, still seems to have some disciples, and anyone, ever, who typed the phrase "Thousands of £ Spent" into a classified ad, and I think we've covered it all. Cars modified to such an extent ARE badly modified.

It's that bad infact that it's probably the worse one on here & for anyone to suggest otherwise (their opinion of course just like it's mine) they need to subscribe to "barry boys"

Keep one as completely standard and give the other one to prodrive with a cheque for a million pounds to convert it to WRC spec.
Would you say the prodrive one is worse because it no longer has back seats and is less useable as a car
Ergo it has been badly modified?
Probably not
Has a japanese clown car been made more fun?
Of course it has just not to your own personnel definition of fun

I like them because they are so over the top. Massively tongue in cheek and designed from the outset to be outrageous. It's like getting upset over a hotrod. No matter what culture that car is still badly modified!

I agree that they are over the top & the more & more I look at it the more I realize that alot of work has gone into actually making it look terrible. I guess the difference is the car in question has deliberately been made to look that way where as all the other examples, the owners genuinely think they look cool......Edited by boobles on Wednesday 17th September 08:31

Do these modifications improve the handling or economy? Do they improve it in any useful way? Of course not - therefore they are badly modified.
A 4WD with raised suspension and mud tyres that is used on the road but also used for serious offroading has worse handling and economy than when it left the factory. Are they badly modified? boobles said:

I'm not going to defend that hideous unpainted bodykitted Fiesta from a few pages back because the modifications were badly done.
I'd never own one of these things, but I like the fact that they are a patch of bright magenta, lime green and vermillion clashing stripes in a sea of beige.
There's quite a difference between someone who throws a load of plastic tat at a car with the aim of, and belief that it turns it into some BTCC or WRC replica and those who put monstrous exhausts, wings and chrome on because they want to have a car that deliberately looks ridiculous and is covered with wings, monstrous exhausts and chrome.
You may not like the outcome of either, but one is badly done as the owner is not only deluded as to their efforts but the quality of workmanship likely falls short. A bozosuko car, on the other hand, is exactly what it's supposed to be with no delusion with regards to it's looks or purpose.
You're arguing apples and pears now, with each side arguing a different point of what is 'bad'.

Oh, Good Lord! Help us, please, in our hour of need.
Many of our brethren have lost their sense of humour in these last few pages, and they desperately need it back...
@Colonial; @McWigglebum4th - calm down fellas. I'm not going to withdraw my post, because there are some valid points buried in there, but you guys need to remember that this is the internet, and most of it is filled with pornography and fraudsters. The small part that isn't is mostly filled with daft lads having a bit of fun. Seriously now, I don't get hot under my collar about any of these modding 'cultures' save when the results are plainly dangerous or actively annoying. So the 'Tyre Stretchers and Spring Cutters Guild' can fk the hell off and float into space for all I care, so long as I'm not inconvenienced by being stuck at a 20mph crawl behind them down the entire length of West Heath Road when I'm late for a train 
Same goes for those amateur hour 'zorsts' which exceed legal noise limits. I hope your fking car explodes, you 'tards. Have a little respect for those of us who want a quiet life, without your excessive revving whilst stationary, and wheelspinning away from just about anywhere, including the drive through window at Maccie-D's.
The rest of it, though, the appearance mods which affect no one else other than to produce uncontrollable laughter? I don't care. You fked the car up to the point where it's worth less than a 'standard' rust bucket, and have rendered it almost entirely unsellable due to the amount of 'personal taste' you've nailed to it, but it doesn't really affect me other than to cause me to pity you. And if you win a meaningless cheap trophy from some like minded simpletons along the way? Fine. You have your hobbies, I have mine.
Oh, and the Kevin Bacon "A Few Good Men" quote? I just like movie quotes, I don't really believe that my opinion counts as a 'fact' any more than I'd accept Wikipedia as the authoritative source of an actual 'fact' either
