Its not in your face at all really!!
I suspect your boss had a set of TSW Venoms back in 1992 & now feels like a dick for owning such garish wheels & you driving into work reminds hes a dick every day thus him taking his anger out on you

Yeah, those jobs should be supplying you with a company car then! Something to consider though is that your insurance may not cover you if your using your car for work. also if your a building inspector, i'd imagine you may have to travel onto building sites, so do you really want to be using your car?

they can tell you what to drive, not specifically, but they can tell you to have a decent looking car.
my brother in law has to buy a new car every 3 years, any older, and it doesnt look good when he sees customers...

That's probabaly written into your bro-in-law's contract though, and he would have been made aware of this when he signed it and joined the company, much like dress codes are. They can't turn round to you and make you change your car cause they dont like it! .

They can ask you yes, but they can't do anything about it, and if they did, it'd be unfair dismissal .
