If they are painted in the body colour then i think they look nice.....

Again it's all about presentation

Reminds me of modified Novas and Golfs from the late 90s, so I'd say a definite no.

I personally grew out of the idea of that kind of mob around about when my voice dropped... Quite a few years back now!!

Definitely tacky!

Not my cup of tea, BUT they don't look as tacky on an omega as some other suped-up heaps!

I think it depends on how modified the car is, tastefully and subletly done can look ok, but if heavilly modded then it looks like a boy racer car.
Not fitted to mine as I don't personally like them but I voted neutral.

May I just caveat my reply with "if it is done correctly"

If I had the cash I would like a nice set of brushed alu alloys, Immirsher Grill and rear w/ spoiler and IF it looked ok colour co-ordinated light brows.

I actually like them -- if painted and are a stand alone mod ( apart from an irmy grille.

A french maids oufit would be tacky on Kelly Osborne -- but look pretty damn good on Kelly Brook .... so tastefully put on an Omega :y But slapped on a Nova  :-[

Not my cup of tea, but down to personal preference.

I vote neutral, because it's what you like not anyone else

I think the results just about confirms it - tacky.

I think they look too much like an add-on. You can see the original bonnet line which IMHO makes them look not quite right.

I'd say no myself. I feel these mods are a bit chav. However not eveyone likes what i've done to mine. Whether we like 'em or not you're keeping another Mig on the road & that's the main thing. :y

Like said above. If done "tastefully" ie without sunstrips and stick on air vents I think they look quite good.  ;) might even get some myself. Each to their own as with everything and lets face it you dont do things to your mota to please other people you do it to make yourself happy.  :y

Definatley tacky.

Post by: dad1uk on 02 April 2008, 07:31:30
personally they're not to my liking, but as everyone else says it's all down to personal taste. It would be very boring if all our cars looked the same.

Not my cuppa, but if they float your boat, go for it:y

I am curious as to what my car would look like but, I'm undecided to be honest, I am happy with the way mine is looking right now so its likely I won't bother!
