    Took this pic ages ago on my phone, and was having a look though the pics today and I still havn't the slightest idea as to what they'd be for.

    So, I said I'll ask on Boards!

    Any idea's?

    Maybe they are horrific at reverse parking, and they are to bounce them back of it off walls?

    Hey, its as good an explanation as any!

    there's a tow bar on the car, maybe it's to stop any scratching when engaging a trailer

    It's a Hyundai Sonata. The owner is obviously trying to disguise the hideousness of it

    Surely the trailer wouldn't get as far as the back of the car anyway would it? I dunno though.

    I'd say they got them free & thought it would be cool to stick them all over the back of the car.

    A bit like the idiots who think it's cool to stick chrome on the brake lights & every line around the car.

    I WILL never understand what those chrome strips are for. NEVER! :confused:
