Euro Car Parts, the UK’s leading distributor of motoring parts, delved into their data to discover which areas of the UK have the most ‘pimped up’ cars.
You may be forgiven for thinking the bigger cities like London and Manchester would take the crown, however residents of Cannock, a small town in the West Midlands are officially the most likely to modify their cars in the UK! The gender split was as expected, with 91% of performance purchases being made by male customers.
However, only 4% of purchases came from 18 to 24 year olds, with those aged between 25 and 34 (43%) buying the most performance car parts.
Aesthetic modifications proved most popular, showing that it’s about looks in the motoring world as much as the internal performance.
Paul Baylis, Head of Communications and PR at Euro Car Parts said, “It’s great to see the interest of car modification is still going strong, as it can be a time-consuming and quite arduous hobby, but one that has incredibly rewarding results when complete.
“We see requests for a wide range of performance parts, some more unusual than others – the biggest, and most unexpected hit this year has to be our Streetwize Headlamp eyelashes – weird, wonderful and unique!”
The south east of England is the most popular region for car modifications.
