    I don't mind them. But to answer your question it's probably because lots of chavs have done it that makes it chavy. It wouldn't be chavy if no chavs did it.

    i didnt ask a question lol im saying what you said prety much. something called stereotyping i think lol its like saying a corsa with tsw rims is a chav car... doesnt mean it is just mean that its to the owners taste although most corsas that are modifies are chav well the ones i see are anyway

    My VTR came with a metal one which uses the same key as my ignition, i asked the previous owner and he said it came originally with the car. Does anyone know if it was optional to come with one?

    i agree with most of these guys they do look rubbish and chavy but if it was my car and i wanted to change the cap i would go with carbon fiber wrap
