Social media users in the comments have argued against NCT Ireland, one person said: “If it works it ain’t stupidity, I’ve seen worse done with a welder. I bet the car still passed the emissions test prior to going on the lift”.

Another person said: “I see no problem there. Guaranteed if he sprayed it black first you’d not have noticed”.
