I thought pink furry dice were bad enough, but pink callipers! Really ...

Yesterday was collecting a car from Verwood ( a retirement village in Dorset) and one old boy puts a little triangle flag on the side of his car to deter passing cars from whacking his wing mirror.

This was on a quiet residential road 30 mph wide empty road!

Any 'stick-on' aero bks beyond a subtle lip spoiler or front splitter/rear diffuser.

The best examples being stick on Canards:


And 'Vortex Generators': (Excusable only on a Mitsubishi Evo IMO)

3D number plates. Utter toss.

My vote goes for these. Available in many colours as well.

The ‘F1 style’ central brake lights that tw4ts in BMWs and Audis have.

Bonus points for when they're not wired in properly and flicker like mad.

You say that, but I've seen quite a few 'what colour should I paint my calipers' threads.

Was going to ask how that shiney bit of plastic fits over a myriad of calliper shapes..but I see it doesn't really..

I just don't see why people go to the effort.

The BMW stripes, I cringe when I see them.

Stick on "Eyebrows" around the headlights. I'd not seen any for a few years and thought they'd gone out of fashion, but then saw two different Fiat 500s recently with then in quick succession.

Also "Powered by fairy dust" stickers, though fortunately not seen one of those for quite some time now.

Chameleon windscreen tints.

Those are fantastic.

Where can I buy them?

[JAMSXR]

Any carbon.

Having recently purchased an F80 M3, it was a total nightmare trying to find an unmolested example.

I can like a nice hint of carbon, what is awful to me is where someone goes for as much carbon as possible for the “look” and assumes it looks good. A full carbon body or full carbon faired bike looks rubbish….imo.

My 205 carbon panels are all painted to hide the carbon.

Easy to make your own. Take a lifesize photo, make a colour print, past onto card then laminate.

[pyruse]

those matt black bolt on spoilers that look like they have nothing to do with the rest of the car

Haha yes, stick on eyebrows around the headlights. One of my dad's friends has a a really old bright lime green Lambo Mura and that's got stick on eyebrows lol. Funny looking old car.
