I may combust the next time I see 'full' written in a car advert. It seems to be the ultimate weapon in the turd polishers arsenal. Everything has a full M-tec bodykit or full sports suspension or a full Harman Kardon hifi. FFS who'd fit half a hifi? It's just such an inane, chavvy description.

As you were...

Well better a full M-tech kit than 7/8th of one.

No, this thread comes with a full rant. It is absolutely the best thread on the subject I've owned and a complete bargain at the price. First to read will reply.

It's ok to use the word full when describing bodykits or hifi. e.g. You might just have a nice head unit and crap standard speakers, whereas full to me means all major system components.

I like "Full MOT"
That can be misleading as I would consider a full MOT to be 13 months most folks would say 12.
