So, I find myself rather bored this arvo for the first time in months, so thought I'd browse the interweb to pass some time.
Came across this site and almost felt like I had to :sick: when I saw the piccies of the first one. Is this what the kids of today spend their paper-round money on nowadays :huh:

How to ruin a great car, why did they not buy a corsa if they wanted to ruin it, then no-one would care?

Loving the Rieger one :smiley:
-
Not as bad as the white GTD on Revo FB page with gimp bra, mud flaps and Anthracite TD1.2s on stock suspension, I thought it was impossible to fail with TDs on a golf but obviously not
-
I love some of them, i like seeing cars at shows that people have made into exactly what they want! I would never do it myself but i admire those that do.

It's one of the things that makes the world go round, different peeps have different ideas of nice....but like Jimble I like seeing others do these things to there cars....even if some are really :sick:

:laugh: Na mate, got that madness period of my modding life out of my system, OEM and subtle is the way forward now...
I must admit I made some quite awful modding choices to my Swift...
How it came from factory bar OEM bodykit & OEM wheel upgrade which was added to the car before coming off the forecourt...and mirrors and angle lights...

Then came the fuel cap...
(http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy301/SWIFTGTS/SwiftBlackUpdates042.jpg)
Then the stupid exhaust...
(http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy301/SWIFTGTS/SwiftBlackUpdates041.jpg)
Then Lexus lights...
(http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy301/SWIFTGTS/IMAG0002.jpg)
Then red grille & badge...
(http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy301/SWIFTGTS/STA70101.jpg)
Then for some reason I put this monstrosity on it...

So as you can see I've been there and done the "Oh that looks cool" NOT!!! thingy... :sick: :laugh:
Just for those who didn't get to see my masterpiece :laugh:
-
I admire anyone putting in all that time and effort, but its oem for me aswell.
-
Looking back on the Swift, I wish I didn't change the wheels and bonnet...I think there the worst 2 mods I did, I much prefer the oem wheels and bonnet...oh and possible the mirrors :laugh:
-
Oh dear.....looks as though you had a Halfords store card :grin:
-

Apologies for going off topic.....

They were great little cars, and as you have said you get a fair bit of kit for your hard earned, I've had two in the past the black one and a blue before that....

Cud you tell I wanted a Golf from some of the modding? :laugh:
-
Like you said Steve, it would be a boring world if nobody modded.
I think its a fine line between subtlety and over doing it.
Your swift isn't to everyone's taste but I admire folk that spend their hard earned on their pride and joys.
For me the best mods are the ones that aren't in your face and make you have to have a second glance at a car as you walk by as you just know something is different but not quite sure what!
Although in saying that I had a few shockers when I was young. The worst probably being a Capri I had that had a full body kit including Ford Escort RS whale tail spoiler plus a couple of dozen amber lights attached right round the bottom of the body kit. It certainly was a head turner but probably to laugh although at the time I thought it was admiring glances :laugh: :laugh:

Mr GTD that swift put a huge smile on my face today and has iven me a few ideas for the Ed35
