Personally don't have a bad mod...yet.

Interesting about the intakes. Which ones are people happy with?

If I did go for one the Forge Twintake is currently top of my list I reckon (although pretty pricey).
Diamond Black 2007 (56) Golf GTI 3Dr DSG ¦ 18" Monza II's ¦ Cruise control ¦ MFSW ¦ Highline ¦ Rear parking sensors ¦ PDT Stage 1 ¦ Forge Twintake ¦ H&R Sport Springs ¦ NQSBBK ¦ R32 Rear bumper ¦ BCS Powervalve Sports R32 style TBE ¦ Valeo LED Rear Lights ¦ Xenon lights with HID kit ¦ DNX521DAB ¦ 12mm Spacers all round ¦

K&N panel filter which was probably my first mod. Car sounded faster, I tried to convince myself it was faster but I don't think it made any difference. Logged it with vcds which showed it flowed less air than the stock filter. 
For me it was a waste of time and money. I did learn I needed a proper intake though.

It wasnt my mod but my brother's: Possibly the LED/neon strips he put under the car. They never mounted properly, the rear strip never went on because the exhaust was in the way, and the front came off when a rabbit played chicken with the car and lost. One day he got fed up with them and just threw them into a bush on the side of the road! Was good fun at xmas time, as you could put them on a multi-colour setting :P

I cant call it my "worst" mod (as I like everything I've done so far), but the most painful (and expensive!) has been my Milltek. Spent too much money going from a non-res to a res, to finally having a custom centre-section put in place. Finally got it right now (I think!)

Also,putting big bumpers on my mk1, just never got them to look right, Remember getting to inters ( back in the days of Crowthorne, 93 i think) and everyone elses looked better. Thinking back over the years think ive had a fair share of Worst Mods :happy2:
