I realise that these aren't exactly recent but never fails to amuse me. The redundant number plate recess on the Suzuki Wagon R.
Nope, I'm, with you on that.

New Civic Type-R - Every damn part of the car, from front to back
Fixed that for you.
However, for the purposed of the OP, specifically those weird stuck on plastic strips under the rear light/indicator...apologies, not the best close-up picture. Actually, apologies for posting the whole of the rear.
I'm pretty sure the strips on the rear is for aerodynamics/low drag. though i'd imagine it's rather pointless on a type r with a spoiler.

Argh you monster! I'd never noticed that before! Absolutely triggering or what?!
The whole back end is a stupid design. Two minivan doors, two rear wipers, two handles, 7 letters, Mini and cooper badges floating out on the outer edges, then finally the weird bug eye lights.ugh.
It's an utter abomination to my eyes; almost as if 45 random people were charged with just designing the back end

Having a 7 letter name badged across the back of a car with vertically split rear doors.
I was behind one of these recently. Driver wasn't going slowly, but dear god I've never wanted to get past someone more.Having a 7 letter name badged across the back of a car with vertically split rear doors.
I'm sure the oncoming traffic would understand.

No. That would be shooting myself in the foot. I live in Germany.The tiny rear quarterlight on the Mercedes E class coupe. It just looks strange. The rear side window would look better as a one piece.
The Micra convertible. That long back end just makes it look like a pickup truck. The design is that focused on hiding the roof in the boot to the cost of any looks of the overall car.
Renault Clio and Captur caved in door look. They look like they've been broadsided. And these oversized Renault badges look daft too.
The Proton Savvy. Weird shaped windowline, and that rear end!

Its like vans with really bad sign writing where the lettering crosses a shut line and they just hack it off down the middle.

Having said that if people aren't doing it somebody is missing a trick.

Nasty though, and the Honda one is a particular abomination.
