Hey Im on your side of the fence. I think we need to define what is a shocking mod so no fellow ford drivers destroy their cars with canons or altezzas.

Do those retail shops that sell stick on car mods and altezza lights and canons and gear knobs and checker plate stuff " pure rice"

Should we all consider it a sense of responsibility to drive past these shops and lob out the window an opened bag of rice.

He isn't stupid.

Stupidity requires at least a semi-functional brain.

The guy you are referring to is brain dead.

I've seen a couple of Astras lately with Opel badges. Rice, I know, but they do look kinda nice.

Club sticker or your performance shop on the rear window - not rice

To me my pet hate is big T spoilers. There are only a handful or cars that can pull it off, and VN-VS Commodores and E-series Falcome aren't part of that group.

The same goes with Cannons. A kitted 200sx suits the cannon very well, but an Echo doesn't
This man has smarts, rice used son out of context it not funny...

but anyway
-if a girl has frangapani stickers good for her, its not hurting anyone (ok as long as it isnt over board)
-If you have stickers on the door, with those parts intalled on you car, it cool
-Big wheels look awsome on old cars, but not the otherway round.
-bonnet bulges on no v8's are cool, if it looks sweet it looks sweet...
-many things like arfter market gearnobs and pedals feel better to use.


...Did some somthing horred at work, a bronze falcon with baby blue moulds, and black underneth...in house paint...
