Silly modifications you done to your car when young

I painted brake drums red.

Putting bigger alloys on an already slow car

I put escort cosworth bonnet vents on a Mazda 323... I also put pink wiper blades on it because I thought it looked good. I guess I was abit of a boyracer back in the early 2000's lol.

What did you do that you are embarrassed of now that your a respectable grown up person?

I put "go faster stripes" on a heap of ****e.

hehehehe, well, after all, you wouldn't want someone accidentally firing off your Exocets.

My own was to put go faster stripes (with 'GT' emblazoned on it) on a Cortina MK3 1300L. GT my ar$e.

Had a friend who installed a telephone handset in the glove box and a red bulb above the glove box. By operating a hidden rocker switch he could make the bulb flash, then open the glove box , pull out the handset and say something James Bond-like into the mouthpiece. Apparently it really impressed the girls. ( this is LONG before mobile phones).

Hand painted Shelby stripes from bumper to bumper using gate paint and masking tape.

I had a big SONY sticker in the back window of one of my cars, had a lot of Sony Xplod (yeah yeah) stuff in it.

Also had stupid font number plates on another car. Nothing offensive but not standard.

Nope wouldn't give the filth an excuse for a chat maaaaaan

GTR badges on an Almera!

In fairness, I haven't grown up much, but at least I'm driving 6 pot 3+ litre cars now

Can't be any worse then seen a type r badge on a vw Bora

Scratch that here's a Prelude in worse shape https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-prelude-delorean-2-0-petrol/19123361

My 1999 purple Honda Civic back box fell off and I left it because the 'grumble' sounded cool. I think back now it was noisy, the rear passengers stoned with petrol fumes and got unbelievable attention from the Police.

Go faster stipes (from a roll) -great until they started to peel after in the carwash
4 rectangular spots (behind the grill) - great until my wiring loom burned out.
Painted the writing on the tyres white -great but got fed up repainting them every week,

However, I'm almost certain it all added at least another 2 mph to my Datsun 120 AF2 Coupe back in the 80s bringing the top speed to a terrifying 92 mph.

Remember when LEDs first cane out,then LED strips,well ya,

I had strips running the front bumper,under the hood,on the mirrors connected to indicators,under rear spoiler..
