What do you think? If we say putting 4 headlamps on to a two headlamp car etc..., anything thats on certain golfs, but not on yours, we'll leave that as standard?

Personally I like original cars, but I also like gentle mods and think they can enhance a car and make it look that bit more unique.

Gentle mod ... having a car that scrapes the floor cos its too low is silly imo.

Having wheels too big that they ruin ya handling and turning circle is silly too imo

But all these speed bumps being built has got to have a long term effect on city driving cars. My mum has had her 106 GTi for 2 years and her front damper has blown already. She has to go across about 30 speed bumps on her way to work. Also many i see on my travels are cracked. They were clearly built cheaply and within years to come will cost the government millions to maintain or simply be removed  ;D. Everytime i attempt to go over them i loose some of my exhaust and front skirt  :'(.
<br /><br />Yeah!!!
