Some members of a Mitsubishi Facebook group I frequent have been affixing these lovely mascots to their cars.

The legendary winged horse of chav tat immediately came to mind.
Has anyone seen any more tacky automotive tat than this?

That VW badge is funny,
IMHO would be appropriate on the on the back of one of VW's diesel for obvious reasons

Depends on the car IMO.
On my old Discovery, smoking in the car with the window partially down in the rain would result in a lot of rain blowing in through the window whilst driving. Fitting wind deflectors solved that problem.

Those prancing stag Ferrari style stickers on swedish cars

Nowhere near as tacky as the chrome badges above though.

Also RIP Paul Walker

My elderly mum saw one of these parked on the street on a day when there was some rangers match. She asked me about whether it's some diplomatic car.

Nope just some football retards.

It’s an Elk usually Volvos, I quite like the irony.

Yes what's that about. It thought they stopped in 1983.

I agree, my truck has them and when your parked up for maybe several hours a day but it’s raining you can still have the windows open a bit so you don’t have to breathe your own breath all day and not drench all you window sill and buttons with rain water.

These annoy me far more than they should as well. In a blatant example of indoctrinating children in incorrect behaviour, they’ve even made it on to children’s pedal cars. This abomination soured an otherwise enjoyable trip to a local toy shop with my young nephew recently.

Yup, awful.

Having a look at used BMWs at the moment.
This tat tells me all I need to know about the previous owner and it’s an instant ‘no’ from me.
