A separate immobiliser key which you plugged into a socket, waited for an LED to change colour/come on/go out/stop flashing/start flashing, remove and start car.

It might have actually been in the 80s when I fitted an Orion grill sprayed gloss to my Mk3 Escrote XR3i.

The Mk 4 XR3i I bought in 1991 had the Fat Willy sticker in the rear window when I got it. Binned it straight away.

Viper stripes. Have we had Viper stripes yet? Viper stripes.

 

 

 

 

 

Also tiger stripes, usually on Fords.

These have been made completely redundant by modernz having actual screens to read information you have zero need to know. Where's the fun in that compared to increasing the a pillers blind spot.

I`m guilty of trispokes, this is my Daimler in 96/7.. Cost £2600 from (the original) Ripspeed at a time when few cars (even Ferrari`s) had 18" rims. The centre badges kept falling off, went back to get more under warranty, but they`d closed down before they ever arrived, so I had a set of a set of rims that cost the earth that looked shite.. On the upside the huge holes meant you could change the rear pads without taking the wheels off..

 

I still have them, and I`m semi-tempted to stick them on my XJR..

 

Oh, and my Uno (in front of the Daimler) had a eye blurring 2600w tri-amped stereo, limo-tints, a laying Peperami sausage inverting his finger and "No Fear" stickers on the back window, `bad boy` headlights (done with insulating tape), DTM sunstrip, square front plate, an orange painted headlight bulb wired into the (blue) sidelights behind the front bumper that lit up the inside of the grille at night..

Epic Fail

No false dinner plate sized discs to hide the drum...

I saw some of those on a Civic recently.

They were flat and featureless, with no calipers, too small, and worst of all, they'd been anodised red and it'd bleached pink in the sun.

Stick on Garfield is equally alive and well in my Golf, though he falls off every time I close the boot. Even if he's not on the rear screen.
