The 5 Big No-No�s To Do To Your Car...

1. The Huge Rear Wing
By far the ugliest thing I�ve seen on the road is a GT wing on an under powered road car. The rear wing is a body part designed to give high speed cars more down force to prevent over steer. We�re talking about cars like those in the Open-wheel Formula, like F1 and GP2 race cars. So in my personal opinion; to see a GT wing on a Proton Iswara or Toyota Vios, is a nightmare!

2. The Blue Lights
There are reasons why there are lights on the front and rear of the car; necessity. But to have lights all around your car in my opinion says you�re desperate for attention (sorry, didn�t mean to hurt your feelings). Look, Kit from Knight-Rider was cool, but your Proton Satria isn�t. So no matter how many neon lights you have under, over, around or inside your car, it�ll never be Kit.

3. The Deafening Exhaust
If your car isn�t packing a mean punch, then why make all that ruckus for nothing? The most annoying thing on the road (other than the Mat Rempits) is to hear a Kancil go nowhere. Why oh why do you need a muffler so huge you can fit an actual baby in it? Worst of all, the engine inside that little noise maker is only an 800cc Daihatsu pace-maker! My rule is simple; if it ain�t a GTi then I don�t want to hear it!

4. The Dragster Tyres
This you see only on Proton Saga�s and Wira�s and quite frankly I have no clue what�s the motivation behind it. If you don�t know what I�m talking about; dragsters back in the 50�s had huge radial tyres for more grip so they can bolt off the line. Now those were powerful V8 engines packing almost 300bhp in it so why would a 85bhp car needs tyres and elevated suspensions, I have no clue. Those out there who these on might not want to hear this, but they�re quite an ugly sight.

5. The Dark Tint
Well the reason this takes the last on the list is because it�s still quite okay to look at. I�ll be honest; some cars with dark tints do look bloody sexy. So why did this make the list in the first place you ask? Safety reasons. Imagine following a car with a dark tint, you can�t see anything that�s going on ahead of this car. It is very important to not only keep a look out on the car ahead but also what�s happening a few cars beyond it. So the next time you think about tinting your car as though its an FBI vehicle carrying the President of the United States; don't!

(Of course this is purely the opinion of The One Stop Car Consultant and in no way prejudice to all you car owners out there. Peace)

Drive safe!
