Don't get involved in them. :!:

Don't enquire about them. :!:

Don't touch them. :!:

Don't think about them. :!:

Don't imagine them on your car. :!:

Don't don't. :!:

Just don't. :!:

My siganture, now more than ever, will shine light into this man's perverse longing for dark wrongness

No... please do it. You'll be the Daddy of Retro for sure if you do.

Remember to fit rear window louvres and windscreen wiper spoilers... along with rubber boots on the arms to finish off the look.

Hell, why not go the whole hog and respray the poor car in candy-apple red with glittery bits too...?

And don't forget the furry steering wheel cover. At least your hands will be warm in the coming colder months...

:cool:

Put it this way if they were shaped like a big p1nis and they were only £20 would you buy them?

Thought not, just because they are cheap does not mean they look good

They're bad. But to be fair, they're not as bad as I was expecting them to look. Thats not to say I like them or they're ok, just not as bad....I'll shut up now :roll:

I used to love the look of this car back when it was new, now I see one near me quite regular, and it's the most ugly thing ever!
