Revealing mistake: During the end scooter sequence along the cliff tops, you can clearly make out wheel tracks stretching out ahead of Phil Daniels' bike, yet he hasn't been over that ground yet - these are presumably left-overs from a previous take?
Revealing mistake: The police in the riot scenes have got hair hanging well over their collars - they are supposed to be POLICE in the mid 1960s whereas in fact they are a mob of scruffy layabout 1970s extras.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jimmy has just picked Steph up from her place of work. They are cruising along talking, if you look at the twist grip gear change on his scooter, it is in the first gear position for the entire time.
Revealing mistake: When Jimmy's mum draws back the curtains, a British Rail Class 43 (HST) goes past in the background, only in service since 1976. (00:43:51)
Answer: Your description of "Mod" is too limited. It included a wider range of fashion styles beyond what you've described and included mini-skirts, geometric-patterned dresses, casual hip-hugger pants, leather coats and jackets, and so on. The same with hairstyles which varied from short, angular bobs, to beehives, and long tresses with feathered bangs. The "natural" look was also in style then, along with the more extreme make-up type. Steph certainly fit into the overall Mod style and culture.
