Spotted a Passat today on aftermarket alloys. Looked rubbish. In fact I can't think of any generation of Passat that lends itself to aftermarket visual investment. I would say the same about the Polo, whereas the Golf responds very well to tasteful styling modification. Are there any others out there that are best left alone?

In my experience anything that doesn't look interesting to me when standard still doesn't look interesting modified. I would invest in some aftermarket wheels on a Mk2 MR2, I wouldn't bother with anything mainstream or ordinary unless the original wheels looked too small or cheap (e.g. Mazda 323F).

My vote for a car best left alone though goes to the 288GTO.

I'm definitely in the "best left unfettled" camp.

Apart from a set of carefully selected aftermarket alloys, there aren't too many changes I'd want to see made to any car.

I actually think most cars should be left alone. There's only an odd time when aftermarket looks better than OE.
I have changed the wheels on my M3 five times, initially as the 15" just looked dated but it took until the 5th set to decide to leave them. Non of them are aftermarket but other BMW alloys.
