certainly isnt the case with mine!!

i suspect they look at "our" styling in the same way we look at Chavs - car to low, with 16 inch exhausts (twin) 18inch wheels which rub etc

well maybe... that certainly the image which comes to mind when most here "modified" these days, and often the thougth that runs through ppls minds when they here i'm a "modder"

They tend to refer to modified cars as "lower class" here. Someone used the phrase "subhuman" once, but I think that was a translation error.

the problem with the British style is that we dont have any real UK style. We dont have the conviction like our European counter parts.
