Relagsingh 4th Gear March 7, 2007 Share March 7, 2007 what to do? we can only watch. All these cosmetics done on cars are purely evident in the SEA motoring scene. Taiwan have abit of this phenomenon too. You dun see all these on the roads in other countries out of SEA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshi8 1st Gear March 7, 2007 Author Share March 7, 2007 ya..quite so...i think Singapore cars too expensive...not many people want to fork out more money to do 'proper' mods...RICE my ride is the way to go in singapore...actually me also a victim of Ricing my ride...just not to the extent of making people laugh...

Relagsingh 4th Gear March 7, 2007 Share March 7, 2007 Ic... What i'm really perturbed by are cars having REALLY elaborate decals pasted all over the car's body, to the point that you can't really tell the car's actual colour, sometimes with GT wing and bodykit, then still using puny rims and skinny tyres... I got a colleague who does that. when i asked why he did'nt change his rims, he told me: "orh... look like rally car mah.... some rally car i see on TV have small wheels leh, i scared fuel consumption very high also..." Piangz... win liao... I was strongly objecting another one of my colleagues not to fit bodykits onto his car on another occassion. He was quite a greenhorn, aesthetics is all he cared for. and being obstinate, he still went ahead. Now he is regretting every minute of it... i can only laugh inside.

macrosszero Turbocharged March 8, 2007 Share March 8, 2007 WRX badge on a 1.6 TS 2.0SI badge on a 1.6 or 1.8 litre Civic M3/5 badges on a BMW 325 or 520 Just so you know that wannabes are not limited only to Japanese cars Badge upgrading is harmless to other road users what is harmful is when drivers of these cars imagine they are driving the real thing and thinks it goes and stops like one hence they drive like they are racing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thestig Clutched March 8, 2007 Share March 8, 2007 I believe that "stickers/decals/badges" -whatever you may call them cannot be considered a mod because it does not add on any performance-related specifications at any point in time. Therefore, in my opinion, huge, big-ass spoilers are the most wannabe mods. Unless you are going constantly in excess of 160kmph would you be required to find use for a spoiler.

Unfazed 6th Gear March 8, 2007 Share March 8, 2007 If you feel affected here, dun reply. You are in no position to determine what's uncalled for. It's also our biz to laugh at these wannabes, not yours. Whether ppl mod anot, also not your biz, get it? Goondu... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
