Custom Stickers
Stickers may have been all the rage when you were in school. We’re sure you can remember covering your homework diaries, pencil cases and bags with a selection of ‘cool’ stickers.
However, when it comes to accessorising your car, stickers aren’t a good idea. Why? Not only do they make your car look like a child’s work of art, they instantly make it less valuable too.

Gear Knobs
These are just pointless. The only person who will really see your gear knob is you, but your eyes will be on the road, right?
Yes, the passengers in your car may notice that your gear stick is flaunting a slightly unusual knob, but they’re hardly going to comment on it when it’s as weird as this freaky-looking zombie skull. We say no to novelty gear knobs.
-
Bumper Stickers
Bumper stickers are beyond tacky. They’re not that funny, neither are they particularly interesting. Basically, they’re pretty pointless. So, do us all a favour and leave them off your car. Traffic jams are bad enough without having to stare at these.

Back Spoilers
There’s some truth in the name, they really do spoil the appearance of a car. Why? Well, who wants to drive a car that looks like it belongs to a 17 year old boy racer? It’s not a good look. You may feel like Vin Diesel from the Fast and the Furious series, but you’re far from it.

Headlight Lashes
We can just about deal with fake lashes on women, what with Cheryl Cole and other celebrities rarely spotted without them, but fake lashes on cars? They’re a big no-no. Nothing screams tacky quite like headlight lashes. Plus, they just make cars look odd.
