ChaosChris Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Welcome to EVO I think many people who mod cars suffer from chav branding, its unfortunate, people often at work turn up and say, 'whose is that chavvy car outside?', i can never be arsed to defend it or myself. I would say that Ripspeed zorst tips, gear nobs and pedals + blue side lights would warrent the chavvy title however im a sucker for blue lighting. Often toyed with fitting 8million k HIDs for blue lights but its too much of a mine field. As mentioned though, they are only for show use as the box usually says so (the Halfords ones do) and being that sidelights are on all the time you might be asking some Police attention. I Know the feeling, I quiet like the look of the bad boy bonnets but I get labeled out dated and chavvy :-/ doesn't help that my fav color is blue either :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Know the feeling, I quiet like the look of the bad boy bonnets but I get labeled out dated and chavvy :-/ doesn't help that my fav color is blue either :-/ Good point didnt really think about the police side of things :-/ maybe I'll take them out and use them for show use only (Probs for the best) In regards to the sticker idea's I'm not looking at going stupid just a few carefully picked one's that will hopefully look good and for those asking I will upload some upto date pictures tonight I promise I remember blue side light bulbs. It used to be a way of telling if people were a chav or not. (well the ones who drove at least..) the ones who didn't needed other means to find out if they were chavs such as were they wearing Reebok Classics and Lonsdale. I can reasure you that I am in no way a chav just think the lights look cool but as my sig below says: "Haters Gonna Hate" I'm prepared to get some haters as my tastes are not going to match everyone elses but as long as I like them thats all that matters Not so much a hater but remember the legalities in fitting any blue lighting to your car.I like the repair updates but not liking the sound of these stickers.If you like your car clean then great but certain stickers may render it dirty looking and yes indeed a chavvy image. Welcome to EVO it's great to have you on board. As above in regards to the sticker's and the blue lighting Thanks it's great to be here lots of friendly people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
