Modifications

Let's not turn this into a flame war of campaign vs chav-paign.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all that.

I'm under the mindset that oem doesn't mean it's better. You can have a nice modified car without it going chavvy.

Not to my taste, at all. But the car world is one place where you can make it exactly how you like it, and for 90% of the time it is only you who is going to enjoy it. If you are building acar to impress people, you are wasting your time.

The judgement of a car should not be how many compliments it gets, but how big the smile on your face is when you get in it.

In a way you could be ahead of your time with that look. Cars with rare 80's BBS, Kamei etc body kits and accessories can look very cool for us old timers that remember them when they were new. It can only be a matter of time before the 90's look comes back around. 17" wheels, DTM tailpipes and a single wiper and you'll have it nailed.
