Depends on what you are modding. Bodywork is always a grey area really...

I am 100% against plastic fantasic add on's.
Subtle change's, such as colour (within model range) engine change's (within company range) and wheels as long as not excessive in size....
Trim for me is a free for all as not every original equiped vehicle has decent comfortable seats etc.

Engines not in company range can be good too! I've fitted Zetecs in Minors! ! Much better than fitting a Marina engine!
