Badly modified cars thread Mk2

[Jag_NE]

bloody hell i was going to post that i think people with modern mercs (with the large star incorporated in the grille) who then proceed to add the classic bonnet star are monumental knackers. but you eclipsed that ten times over with that c class pic!

What kind of bird is his bonnet ornament trying to look like?

Yep

[Strudul]

It's riced to st... but it's not badly done.

Also yes, the wing etc will be effective and make a difference. Sure it's not optimised, but it's clearly been done for aesthetics not performance.

Looks nasty to me and imho definitely badly modified.

So we are just calling every car with a widebody kit and BGW "badly modified"??

I suppose every track / race car is "badly modified" then...

[Stickyfinger]

More Citroen abuse

Is it still half term?

I'm just sat here wondering if you would all turn your nose up at an RWB Porsche and how quickly you'd get laughed out of the room by any car enthusiast...

i think they look pretty st to be honest - they are the same thing to me. However, even setting the looks aside, cosmetic mods which detract from drivability and performance are the antithesis of what many people on PH would hold up as 'a good thing'.

Ok then, who developed the "stuck on" aerodynamics ?

Then the thread title is wrong and needs to be changed to "Hate On All Cars With Cosmetic Modifications".

Well yes, I would turn my nose up at this effort, so I'm clearly not a car enthusiast...
