Now that I like, anything that incinerates cyclists is a vote winner with me.

Can you get forward facing ones ? 

If they could be angled upwards we could zap gee gee riders too.

Actually I remember reading about coloured tyres a while back. Have never seen them though.

So when you look at them they really just look like tyre caps?

Saw a punto with those neon tyre valve caps thingies on (well, one on the front anyway..) looked naff.

That's a safety feature... in case they forget where it is during a blast thru the drive in Mc D's

ANYTHING that is lit up needlessly.

Thats a brilliant idea - will consider it!

Alloy rear wings stand out like a sore thumb as well.

ok - I have decided on my next mod (to follow the long awaited ACS kit that I haven't had time to get on!) - a dump valve noise simulator

not forgetting led exhaust tips (my god these things annoy the hell out of me) even worse when they are wired up to the brake light.

roof scoops: someone wanna tell me why having a scoop on the roof which doesnt lead to anything actually helps aerodynamics when the wind hits it and slows the car if its facing forward. reminds me of when you used to put your hands in your anorak pockets and lift the back up over your head and run around like pratts (oh dear i should not have admited that).

shark fin aeriels: why on this earth did bmw even think of putting them on their cars.

wind deflectors: the ones around the side windows and on sunroofs.

just a few to add to the list.

People who buy and fit all this ***** can usually by identified by using these handy guides:

Chav Scum

Chav Towns

and, to get a particular flavour for a particular example region, why not visit:

Sheppey Scum

Enjoy

The only graphics I really think look half decent are those found on Skylines...'NISMO', 'HKS' and so on..definately suits the car cos usually applied in Japan before the car is imported.

How about those annoying stickers, usually down both sides of bodywork/ windows/ side skirts, conveying what the spotty youth has put on his car (or hasn't, cos' they can only just afford the insurence by saving up all thir pocket money from delivering pizas on a Honda C50)
Roll bars? Now theres another one, though maybe not a bad idea since they drive like idiots.
Loads of dails in the cabbin, showing how fast the on-coming lorry is going before they smash head on into it after trying to overtake an M3..
Nightrider strobe on bonnet, I saw a Ford Escort with two of these on front once, nearly collapsed with tears running down my face (driver was wearing burberry)
There are probably other things I could think of, but they are probably allready mentioned

I'm very surprised to see these mentioned.

These arent stick on max power bits, but are quite useful in helping you to identify newish drivers, and allow you to give them the same courtesy and understanding you would give a red L driver.

Shame on you dave 328 !

The producers of batman appear to have struggled in finding a suitable replacement for the batmobile.
