Unnecessary car additions

Car customisation and pimping add value to a car. But there are certain things that add no value yet some drivers will put a hand to have them fixed on their cars.
Actually, some of the additions are just meant to drive fun, satisfaction or just to impress.
Looking cool is a temptation many drivers fall for without thinking through or asking about the repercussions that might come after.
There are a number of things that motorists add to their cars without seeking expert knowledge. Most of these additions are just copycats that have no aftermarket advice from either the point of sale, agent or the manufacturers.
Front number plate on the left
This is what you may call sheer ignorance. The front number plate, excluding Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, is by design positioned in the middle of the bumper. However, some drivers will place it on the left hand side of the car which is wrong.
In the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution family, (from the sixth generation onwards), the number plate is placed on the left hand side of the bumper to keep it away from obstructing the radiator.
Most motorists perhaps think this is cool and some have gone ahead to copy it. This is common, especially among Subaru and sports racing cars.

Raised car
There is a reason for making a car with a particular ground level clearance. This is done after consultation and research.
However, many drivers will attempt to raise their cars with pumped up shock absorbers oblivious to the damage that they might cause.
So pumping your Vitz or Spacio might look cool but be aware of the dangers that the changes might come with.
Carmakers engage much research in the stability of the car during manufacturing therefore, be mindful every time you think of any changes.
Matte black bonnets
In the US before sirens and police car lights were introduced, patrol cars used to have black bonnets as a way of distinguishing them. However, this has become a trend in Uganda with many motorists replacing their bonnets with a carbon fibre.
This is done because some motorists think that is cool to repaint their bonnet colours with black or a dull colour.

Spoilers on spoilers
Spoilers make cars hug the road better while driving at a certain speed. They redirect the air where it is needed, and reduces drag by moving the vortex shedding further away from the rear of the vehicle.
Thus spoilers are on particular cars for a reason and that is why some cars come fitted with spoilers directly from the factory.
Spoilers can be fitted as aftermarket accessories but that is only if it is indeed a necessity.
Otherwise it does not make sense to add a spoiler on an already existing spoiler as some motorists do.
There are some cars such as the fourth generation Subaru Legacy, first generation Audi A4 and third generation (and subsequent generations) BMW 3 series that have in-built spoilers.
