Yah! I know what you mean. Although "dint" is a northern coloquialism for a small dent. So thats fair enough. Dint is a real word! Everybody knows that! Yeah, it's the opposite of "Did". This is all a bit negative, but I think it's all in good humour. Probably half of RR members' cars have some of these mods / looks (Cheers deathgaytothemax - I really can't afford a proper paint job, that's why I'm going rat! ;D  )... I think we can take it all with a big scoop of salt  I like some of the things that have been posted up here.*
*I don't have a secret Lexus lights fetish though! |

I can also agree with the whole big wheel,small willie brake drums things,and most of them make it worse by badging their cars up as something they clearly are not. pegeuot 106's with big alloys that show off all the calipers and drums which have been painted bright yellow . trouble is the drums are about the same diameter as a cd . might as well use the caliper paint to write up the side of your car " look at my tiny brakes , i have a 1 litre car , i'm a cock." "bad boy" bonnets . the name alone p1sses me off. like anyone who fits one is instantly 'hard'. |

Minilights. Can't stand them! I don't mind superlites like:  I don't mind those, don't think I'd put them on my car, but they look alright. But minilites like:  They make Baby Jesus cry. |

Okay, my turn.... ;D Ground scraping modern Honda Civics, with Mugen in 2ft letters over it, and an exhaust that sounds like a wasp trapped in an amplifier played through a foghorn - Thats been turned up to 'loud'.... Anything that has girly pink playboy bunny stickers on it. Steering wheel covers of any sort. Drivers who insist in having the seat reclined to an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal, yet have to sit bolt upright to drive. Usually found with a cap on head. 'Baby on Board' stickers - usually on cars driven by people who tailgate you at 195mph..... Or undertake you....  Anyone riding supermoto style bikes. At speed. In mostly stationary traffic. 20 year olds in Import J rocket ships. 17/18/19" rims and 'cat' back systems.... Usually found on Corsasaxopunto106 boygirls chav ride. Car club mafia's. Mines better than yours etc, etc, even though they are both the exact same..... Phew... that was a weight off.....! Cheers. |

I hate it when people drive leaning riiight forward, and lean all over the place when going around corners etc.
I also hate it when people drive with their foglights on. It LOOKS GAY, not cool.
And when people say their car is lowered when they buy -20mm springs. No mate, you suck.

Oh and I also hate people that stay in the middle lane. I end up just nailing it past them on the inside with my finger up, whilst ejaculating onto their windscreen. See the semen you cnuts.

Thought I'd mix things up a bit by putting reasons why for mine, I feel explanations help things along a bit.
- Obviously very modern unsubtle car radios in an older car (Slater beat me to it with my first one, it winds me up and I have absolutely no idea why. To be honest, I found it a big mission to get a car radio that suited my late 90s Mira. You'd think with cars mostly having black interiors, that all car radios would just be plain black, but you'd be sadly mistaken. In the end, I went for a 99p official Daihatsu one!)
- Aftermarket hubcaps (especially chrome-effect and THOSE ones with the fake brake discs behind them, just plain tacky!)
- Chrome numberplate surrounds (pub landlord style tack)
- Personalised numberplates with heavily altered spacing (if you can't get a personal plate that says what you want legally, don't even bother! Too expensive anyway I reckon)
- Euro flags on numberplates, especially ones on older cars (they make them look all lop-sided and it really bothers me for some reason or other)
- "Alternative" things for the Euro flag on numberplates (particularly Playboy bunnies, tacky!)
- Ultra poverty-level tyres on a sporty car (once saw Stunner tyres on an MR2 Turbo, good luck in the rain with those! But a chunky sporty looking tyre can really help the looks of a car, very underrated)
- Rust on a modern car (there's a nearly new Corsa in the work car park with a huge scrape it has had for months developing nice thick brown rust, why on earth don't they get it sorted?)
- Wheels with huge height but absolutely no dish (just not keen)
- Most "wacky" stickers/suction cup signs ("Haha, look what I got, Dad's Taxi! You know, because I give you lifts now and then, it's a joke. What? Well, sod off. Forget it. You're nothing. You're nobody. I hate you.")
- Extreme concours (I always appreciate a well-cleaned car, but one that is loaded onto trailers to be taken to shows?)
And finally.....
- Willy-waving (as in where people load their cars full of the most expensive tat imaginable, regardless of looks, taste or functionality in an effort to prove how much money they have. I'm talking about boots with 5 TV screens inside, super-expensive seat materials, actually applying a sign at shows that says how much you spent, etc.)
Maybe there should be a "I like it" thread to counteract this one?
