I've been looking on google for the past 10-15 minutes, and I've literally found about 3 Saxos that didn't look like crap (aside from the F2 Rally car, but that doesn't belong here) So yeah, shame on you, Europe, for ruining these things. :P

As I see those nicely modified Peugeuots in @Team THRT Drift 's post, I wonder why the main part of the car modification scene here in Austria is a bunch of :censored:heads who drive like 🤬 and put ugly taillights and horribly painted wheels on their Volkswagens and Audis.

There is a minority of people who actually put nice mods on their cars, but these cars are mainly german products. French cars, like said Peugeots, are completely underrated and JDMs (except for the really, really small number of Skylines, Imprezas, Evos, etc.)are only driven by old men who have had those cars for like 20 years as they never break down.

The very little number of Kei cars we get (like the Daihatsu Move) get laughed at, because small car seems to equal uncool here while fat trucks like a Dodge RAM (normally there is nothing wrong with them for me) get more and more in cities. Yes, in cities. :boggled:

However enough of the rant, have this IMO nicely modified cars instead:

They look worse than stock to me.
 
Does having tracker fitted count as modification, if so here are some pictures of BMW M4 Convertible (Has the new interior and tyres):

Video of me revving the car:


If that doesn't count then here is picture of a slightly modified 3 Series.

These cars are completely stock?
 
And took me a while to find a decent Mondeo. Not much, other than wheels again.

But let me tell you, black rims do fit it.

I'm pretty sure this is one I've seen on Instagram. Unfortunately, I believe he wrote it off.

Found a lot of pictures while looking for an old GT5P video so thought I'd post a lot on here. Reason for posting M4 was last post had picture of one and I was on a uploading spree so couldn't resist. I think most performance cars look good stock, seems a lot get ruined when modified which is a shame.

The 3 Series is slightly lowered and had the newer 313 alloys fitted to it.


Anyway here is picture of a Nissan R34 GTR (Midnight Purple III Colour). I want to own one in that colour one day.

Seems to me that's the only way anyone customizes a watercooled Volkswagen. Almost makes me appreciate donks a little more, you know, because it's something different (and at least their tires actually fit their ridiculously oversized wheels).
 
AHEM! *cough* *cough* *wheeze*

Yeah, I'd consider that modification for the purposes of increased performance rather than customization for the purposes of personalization. And if I'm being honest, I wouldn't consider that tasteful either--not to say that it's without merit, as the modifications likely do serve a purpose beyond the aesthetic.
 
Saab's are easy to modify tastefully, but this 'Dame Edna' OG 9-5 with details from a 9-3 Turbo X NG looks utterly amazing! Beat 9-5 I've seen so far. Makes me want a 'Dame Edna' 9-5 even more:

I utterly adore the NG 9-5. Rare, but they look so utterly amazing! Especially with some Hirsch styling, they can take your breath away (well, they take my breath away anyways) Just look at it:

I also have a weak spot for the 9000, always have and always will. They look like classics for some reason, and sort of feels like it, but reliable and tuneable daily drivers that's made for driving! If modified correctly (honestly, a 9000 looks good enough stock) they can look amazing! Like this example:

Liberty Walk as tasteful? They're overtly styled and stray well away from OEM+. They're not tasteful in my eyes. People would see that and wonder why a nice top-end BMW was ruined.
I respect your opinion but in my eyes it looks good. I do prefer a stock E92 but I like the Liberty Walk body kit due to its different approach to an aggressive look.
 
@TexRex it's a VW Polo. What are you gonna do with it? Either the rally or cicuit racing adrenaline junkies get a hold of it, or the mellow scrapers at auto shows. There's not much you can do in regards to the Polo.

@LJ12 you lost me after the first few trim designations, nevertheless, I stayed because Sierra Alpha Alpha Bravo and their quirky jet commercials
