Cars with body kits/ little chav cars that look good
Discussion
I'm not a fan myself of anything that makes a car worse
i.e this
But somethings with kits have taken to a liking and especially this
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
discreet styling and attention to detail really does set apart the good cars from the crap ones
Cars that come under "euro look" especially with VW's are the best by far in the world of styling changes.
Anyone on here got things like this?

Modifying to improve the car is fine.
I can see the appeal of modifying a car, having something different/something no one else has, but a lot of the time, they go about it the wrong way. Most lack taste, and the owners think they have created some sort of work of art. They love the attention it gets, but don't seem to understand most of the people staring are actually thinking, "twat"
Adding all that weight will only compromise performance, which an air filter and back box won't be able to make up for.
On the other hand, you have the Saxo mentioned above, which is exactly how a car should be modified - for performance.
That's clearly been done for performance, and the exterior styling is very subtle.
Depends on the person. Unfortunately, some people would rather pose and, in their eyes, look good, whilst others would rather drive something that goes good.

Singapore is a prime example. The modding scene seems quite large and popular, but the in 95% of cases they actually look great. I'm really not a fan of modded cars in general but must admit, the way they do it seems understated and almost classy compared to some of the barry boys in the UK.

ninety percent of those godawful kits have nothing to reflect the cars lines. Its almost like the chavs cant be accepted until theyve had a;
4'' 'zorst tick
K&N filter tick
TSW alloys at least 3'' bigger than standard
and finally "a kit" regardless of whether theres any kits that look half way decent.
this heap of s
t for instance, what are those holes in the bumper doing? How does that relate to the car and improve it in any way? This hunk of crap wont even have and crash absorbing qualities. Anyone with this type of crap wants shooting along with the brain dead moron who "designed" it.

I bet the person who designed it thinks it looks crap, but they're making money designing stuff like that because they know there is a marker for it. It seems the bigger the vents and more mesh you can fit to it, the more it will sell.
i hate chavved up saxo's
but that VTS is so far from chav its untrue
pretty close to being a super1600 by itself- and if goes anything like a mates real super1600 fiesta then it'll be scarily quick. Although i'm hoping you haven't made it as undriveable as said fiesta. unless at full chat then it really does sound like a bag of nails

Oh Oh, the red golf appears to have the tires streched.......:awaits25pages:
There are good, decent bodykits and there are quite absurd ones.
A good example for "absurd" is often coming from Rieger, 80s style: http://www.behindmatrix.com/e30/fotost/f00504/07.j...
(Although like many 80s things , it is so crass that it´s almost cool again in a strange way)
I comment not only drag races, but also "tuning events" (VW, Opel) with quartermiles,
and therefore like the "racing" look and tech style.
What I also like is the "cleaned" style, no doorhandles, side trim, side lights,
and many body parts blended/moulded together (no big "kits" on these cars).
I guess the owners of these cars want to enhance the original design lines of the body,
like it looked in the first design renderings or (photoshopped?) prototype pics.

It might be just me but it looks like the front wheels have positive camber, which can't be good!4'' 'zorst tick
