Bad styling details

the rover streetwise :sick, how ugly does all the plastic look?

The wing mirrors on my Cavalier - they're HUGE but don't fold in & so get broken with annoying regularity as I park on the street & do ppl leave a note with their number?! NO!! :mad:

Pre-facelift lights on the latest mark of Vectra - so bland it makes beige look interesting.

Front & rear lights on the BMW Compact (formerly the 3-series compact)

The old BMW 3-series compact (mid-90s, think it migt be the E36?) The lack of boot is way out of proportion to the massively long bonnet.

(gonna get flamed for this one...)
Front lights on Porsche 911 from 996 up until the latest model where they went back to 'proper' oval lights - basically when they shared the 911 lights with the Boxster. I admit, my last favourite 911 was the 993 - see a couple around Cambridge including one in the lovely midnight blue metallic paint - it WILL be mine *sobs*

All of the Morris Ital (ask your dad/grandad - in fact my grandad was silly enough to buy one!)

the "faired" in ones were the only decent ones

The rear lights on the latest 3-Series (E90) - they look very very cheap

The facelifted Mk 2 Hyundai Coupe. Just all of it - they wrecked what I liked about that sleek shape!

The new BMWs (3, 5, 6 and 7 especially). Awful, blocky, unrefined.

The prefacelift Multipla

The Daewoo Tacuma front lights/grill - where the lights are above the grill

The SsangYong Rodius - really hideous car!

A rather surprising fact: (according to wikipedia) the Tacuma was styled by Pininfarina... Daewoo obviously didn't pay too much, or maybe Pininfarina were having a joke.

The fact that the golf gti isn't colour coded as standard...
It makes me wave my fist in a simmering rage

The Mk5? Neither were the Mk1, 2, or the 3?

The minging chrome, around the headlights of the new saabs, minging!

Ahh, you beat me to it. I can't stand that either, why would they do that?!
Heres a pic:

Chavved up cars
Stupid Lexus style lights on anything thats not a Lexus
Fake wood trim
All Vauxhall Corsas
All Vauxhall Novas
Alloys that look like bicycle wheels
Alloys that are too big for the car
Stupid massive exhausts that you could crawl into
Having multiple exhausts on crap cars

I could continue but just woke up...

Amen to that. Especially the stuff in the Astra CD(x).

Car door pockets that are too small to put anything into (I'm looking at you Audi A2 :rolleyes:

)

The 306's (with passenger airbag) amazing glovebox :rolleyes:

You can't even fit a ****ing cd jewel case in it!

I'll try and get a picture. It's comically small
