When I logged onto PH this afternoon, the banner advert I was presented with was thus:



I are disappoint. With so many threads deriding such horrendous chavvy trinketista, to have such a thing shoved into my face on a supposedly decent motoring forum offends.

I dare someone to click on 'Get the Look....', I can only imagine what disappointment awaits.

The ads I get seem to be targetted on here. I book a hotel and it gives me an offer for a hotel in the same area, etc etc.
Have you been looking at carbon fibre fuel flap stickers again???

I can't deny I've seen plenty of OEM DRL's (sorry for the acronyms) that look shocking. Aftermarket ones??? Even worse. That said, probably no worse than some fads that have spanned the ages.

They are not acronyms - they are initialisms.

And it's "DRLs" without an apostrophe.

I saw a car with those lights in the windscreen washer things today. That was a fad. Fads are st. Audi must have invented fads.
