But, according to TikToker Hope, using fun bumper stickers are a sure way to “turn a nice car tacky”.

In a video posted on her account, the driver revealed at least nine of them on her pristine white motor.

But she claimed to love them – even if they do raise some eyebrows.

Other car accessories that make your ride look tacky include quick-release bumper fasteners, said one car expert.

Quick-release fasteners are stick-on ties to keep car’s bonnet, bumpers or boot down if the latches don’t work.

This comes as a warning was issued to all drivers who accessorise their car that they could risk a £1,000 fine – don’t be caught out.

While they may look fancier than generic motor interior fittings, steering wheel and gear stick covers are just two of the additions you should re-think.

Meanwhile, a lot of drivers hang air fresheners from the mirror, whether it’s because you’re throwing sweaty gym kits on the front seat or leaving takeaway wrappers in the footwell.

Or maybe you just enjoy a fresh smelling vehicle – but these products could be illegal.

If it is decided the item is obstructing your view or distracting the driver, it is in violation of the Highway Code.

Plus, an increasingly popular car decoration is Diamante gemstones stuck along the dashboard.

But from a health and safety point of view this trend is concerning.

If the airbags were to deploy, gemstones could cause serious injury to your face.

And, some Brits deliberately keep their beauty and cleaning products in their car at all times.

However, storing these items in the car during summer months could actually make them less effective.

Changes in temperature and exposure to sunlight can break down ingredients and alter a products’ chemical make-up.
