Saw that on a car next the mine. The wheels were already spinning (apparently) while waiting for the lights to change! No point in following this car, I thought, but how is this possible? It was just rotating wheel covers :-) Is this legal?
Johannes H Andersen ( snipped-for-privacy@sizefitter.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Legal? Yes. Tasteful? No.

Dunno - I saw some the other day and thought they were almost the naffest thing I'd ever seen.
Then again - one of the neighbours has just fitted a whaletail to his car and is obviously very proud of it. I could barely contain my mirth as I walked past him and a friend discussing the merits of it.
I suppose the next thing will be to pump out tyre squeal over the 10KW stereo?

Don't keep us in suspenders... Metro? Proton? Suzuki Vitara?
I find the jurassic roof fins on the new BMW 5 series slightly naff. But now
3 series owners are also beginning to fit them :-) Do BMW pay royalties to Beckham?
Next they'll appear on Golf GTi's and soon on down the food chain..............

I assumed they were an antenna or sorts, are you saying they are purely cosmetic! They look completely out of place on the car IMHO.
Keep well all,

They are. GPS/SatNav. Same job as the small squarish blob on the bootlid of A8s a few years back.
On some, undoubtedly.
It's the wheel trim which has a rotating inner part visible through the 'spokes'. You can buy a set for about £15 (special offer at Tradex) but there are cheaper ways of looking a fool.

Depending on the height it could double up as a handy picnic table in summer
They are legal, but the taste police might want a word with you ;-)

You can already get a thing which makes the sound of a blow-off valve blowing off. Looks like an alarm unit - connects to a clutch switch.
Also sprach "ph12" :-
Too high and too sloping. I would imagine it takes a good few MPH off his max.
Fine legally.
I saw some in Liverpool as I was driing back from a game. Some big black dodge 4x4. Thought "tosser" as I saw him, turned out it was Cisse's car.
Yeah, you could turn on your front fog lights all the time!

But now
Why? All you get to see is some bint driving it along one stretch of road from half a dozen angles, *and not stopping at the stop sign*.
Stop signs are _normally_ there for a good reason.

Look at the pic that shows the driver's door trim. If that's champagne, it's about a bottle of it.
for the money I'd expect them to have in minter than mint
