Clarkey Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 That's probably written by someone who drives a Volvo with 2 babyseats in the back ... Besides Chav's/Scallies/Townies don't usually have £10k - £15k handy on buying a car. They have enough trouble finding £5 for some cigerettes or for a Pay as You Top up card.

mikeyb10supra Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Err no definatly not firstly Supra spoilers are functional and crucial to the cars handling, cars thet are not fitted with one from stock, obviously dont need one......so if you add one, then you are chav Alloy wheels, again, functional......wider wheel, lower profile, better grip Vented bonnet- functional.......colder charge temps better performance Flared arches goes with adding bigger wheels, bigger wider wheels = more grip therefore flaring arches is a by-product of this so not doing it through choice ICE + lighting maybe......but its on a supra so not chav Multiple tailpipes are ok as long as its not over the top......a 5inch tail on a saxo for example......No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The spoiler issue is only annoying because they put mahoosive spoilers on the back of hatch backs......... front wheel drive hatch backs................. front wheel drive hatch backs with little or no power!!! What's the point except to add weight to an area of the car that does absolutely nothing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good thing though the extra drag caused by a big spoiler on a chavmobile makes a slow car even slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=417925&postcount=26 possible 'Chav' like Supra Only kidding dude. Litewave is just going for the drift look http://www.its-me.co.jp/supra_drift.jpg I think to start off with to be chav takes a certain sort of car. Then you take things that would not normaly be made for or seen to go on the car. Say for eg. a Nova with an Escort Whale tail Spolier. Not made for each other, so why?? Or airvents on a 106, why?? what pourpose?? maybe to let out smoke when the guts have been reved to hell and back. That article is crap. Alloy wheels?? Does that mean all Porsche, Ferrari and BMW drivers (to name a few) are all Chav?? I think not. I think thewritter found the first car with a burberry wearing tw@% next to it and described it.

MARTIN R Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 No were not chavs, in my defence my supe is standard and I dont own any Burberry!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Alloy wheels, again, functional......wider wheel, lower profile, better grip Alloy wheels are lighter, thats all Alloys are very functional, they transmit the heat from braking far better than steel, as well as being lighter.

dangerous brain Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 The difference between us and chavs is that the stuff we put on our cars is there for a functional reason and chavs put stuff that doesn't perform any function at all most actually detract from the vehicles ability. Start bunging neons and stuff on then yes you might be placing yourself in the firing line for being called a chav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
