This is one of the most famous sections of the Top Gear website - and it's bloody awful. Yet brilliant. People who have crazily modded motors (or those simply with the right to send them to the site) take a snap and then it is uploaded for all to see. Now, I can see why some mod their cars. Better performance for instance.
However, most of these cars here look to have been changed for one reason only - catching the eye. This is in itself not a bad thing, but you've got to wonder why someone would buy a car (looking perfectly ok in the first place) only to change the look completely. Why not just buy something else?
Generally speaking I haven't seen too many dodgy modded motors when out and about, though an park not too far away from here is a regular hunting ground. I'll give you a clue - it's got a cinema and is based at North Shields/Wallsend.
If cars are your passion - then great. Chances are you wouldn't be here reading otherwise. But do you really need spoilers on the back that make your motor look like the VW Polo of Satan? Perhaps not. Look with the mind as well as the heart young padowan and the truth will be revealed! Or, just save up more and get the Impreza you really want...
