When one element of a car spoils it.....
Discussion
Was overtaken by a new Aston yesterday ( Vantage I think ) anyway, it was a DC so I pulled out behind it and I was struck by a sight I never thought I'd live to see...
..something uglier than buckingfuttugly!!
What the F"£K were they thinking when they stuck the wing mirrors on that car?? Did they forget all about them until they rolled up to get the car type approved, and then go out an steal them from the van they used to deliver the car???
My eyes hurt now even just thinking about them!!
So... which other manufacturers have made a beautiful car ugly by sticking a single crap element on it?

Not in the same league at all, but the dashboard in the S1 Focus is enough to ensure I never owned one, despite liking the exterior and loving the handling.
It's strange, in that it's one of the few that actually looks worse on the higher spec models, with the "wood-you-believe-it" and extra buttons all over the place.

Morris Marina door handles on a Lotus Esprit were a terrible faux pas.
But now that Marinas are a distant memory, they don't look so awful these days.
The Wolfrace slots have dated badly and don't look half as nice as the Speedline alloys on the S2 or the BBS alloys on the S3.
Strangely I always liked the marina handles on the Esprit, they look good in a flakey Italian exotica way!But now that Marinas are a distant memory, they don't look so awful these days.

There isn't anything I'd change about the S1 Esprit's looks, actually. It's such a pretty car - my favoutite Italian wedge.
Polished Wolfrace suit it perfectly too imho.
Upside down Cav GSI lights on the back of the Grif.
Rear lights on the Masser 4200 - when I see the 3200 it makes me sad inside to see how they changed it (apparently for the American market? - gits)
Chrome wing mirrors on the Disco - wrong, so wrong.
Nissan Murano - the chrome exhaust trims fitted over the pipes, but they are too big and you can see the gap between the pipes and the trims - this is from the factory. Wrong again.
Strange one this - as I do LOVE this car, but the exhausts on the GTR are too big.
I know, I need to get out more.
