smellypoo Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Those 'lexus' lights, either aftermarket or oem inspired by the rear lights off an IS200... Always made me vom a little whenever I saw those... Haven't seen a cd hanging from the rear view mirror for a while but I never understood what that was all about John F and brickwall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sunroofs. All the modern chod I see rarely has them. When they are, they tend to be massive full-length panoramic jobbies. michael t, Magnificent Rustbucket and brickwall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Also big modern Petrol cars. For example, searching on AutoTrader for cars within 100 miles of here under 6 years old, that are saloons (typically bigger cars): Diesel 6815 Petrol 1087 Hybrid 192 Estates: Diesel 7006 Petrol 1112 Hybrid 147 Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 CDs in the window does nothing to laser detectors. In fact if you're talking handheld, then the last cop I spoke to said they were trained to point it at a flat, vertical, shiny surface for best results - which is one of the reasons you're not meant to use sticky numberplates on the bonnet any more, a numberplate forms a great laser target So, if you've got CDs on the front of your vehicle, like some truckers I've seen, you are kind of making it easy. Actually you need to coat your car in carbon nanotubes which absorb light. SiC and brickwall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themildbunch Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Headlight protectors. Y'know, the clear plastic thingies that went over the headlights, shaped for each model of car. Those were ace.I have a couple of BX pairs and they do look good but s/h they're now worth more than new headlights and probably crack more often.
