We all like to personalize our vehicles, a little mascot hanging from the rear view mirror, bumper sticker, perhaps a spray job; but some people just take the whole theme to an extreme, spending huge amounts of cash on turning regular cars into monstrous beasts on four wheels.
Any modifications made to your vehicle should be disclosed to your insurer – and whilst some modifications, such as the reduction of exhaust emissions, are positively welcomed, others, including cherry bomb exhausts, super wide wheels and body kits, are not. So before you go ahead and pimp your ride, check your policy and compare car insurance providers to ensure you get the best possible coverage.
Here’s our round up of some of the most bizarre modifications on the road:
Suped up
This is a classic example of trying to turn a relatively rubbish car into something it just isn’t i.e. cool.
Re-spray
A paint job is a quick way to personalize your car and if you’ve got the cash why not have it match your cap?
New wheels
The brand and wheels kind of contradict each other.
Change of use
Complete change of use is definitely something you should speak to your insurance company about…
Body kits
A personalized body kit taken to the extreme!
Extreme spoilers
I’m not sure if this is a ridiculous spoiler, or whether it’s just completely over stepped the mark? One thing is for sure, this is not a cool car!
