Default disco 1 mods you wish you never did

what mods have you done that turned out to be useless, waste of time/money?
this is an attempt to save others from the same mistakes

so far mine was doing just the intake gaskets, cause then the head gaskets went immediately,
adding factory running boards love the look but they bottom out the vehicle on trails

Cone air filter - all noise, no mpg increase. Went back stock.

Bottorf rear bumper. The bumper wasn't terrible but the wings were unsupported and the corners looked unfinished.
Roof light bar. Looked OK, but was a waste for as often as I use lights for offroading at night. The 4 Hella 550's were decent lights but the Driving beams threw WAY too much light on my hood. My Hi beams and two Hella 4000 Cornering lights work great.

I'm sure I've wasted money on useless stuff but nothing major. One little thing that bugs me is that I got a little off line on the drivers side when i cut my doors. Not very noticeable but it bugs me every now and then.

Buying an ARB bumper, absolutely dreadful approach angle. That sucker hangs on everything
