Decals and grill badge poll

rikkiola · 3rd October 2007, 12:34

Hello

Thought I'd set up a poll about this as somebody suggested...I am still undecided whether to have them put on to my deep bronze Type-R which is on order...

TTDegs · 3rd October 2007, 12:42

nicely done sir

rikkiola · 3rd October 2007, 14:30

Thank you

Does anybody know if the decals come off OK should I want to remove them?

Interesting poll results so far

Well got mine for nothing so you cant go wrong with that. I wish there was a GT badge

rikkiola · 4th October 2007, 09:13

The poll results have really surprised me so far.

Thank you for voting.

There seems to be a really even split between three of the four choices.

You can buy stick on chrome GT letters from halfords. I saw some at the checkout the other day.

I bought the decals/badge as part of an accessory kit through ebay from Holdcroft Honda. I too am really undecided what to do about the side decals. The accessories are being fitted to my car including the grill badge, ready for me to collect on Friday.

The poll is very evenly split. I am leaning towards not having them on as I agree the car looks fine without them. You guys who don't have them on, was the cost of them a factor for some of you, as they are ridiculously expensive. Also something that concerns me, due to the fact they are expensive, I worry about some little git levering the grill badge off to sell on ebay. So was that a reason that stopped some from fitting them also

I don´t have a type-r, but I am a "as few badges as possible" kind of guy

just looks cleaner

Well, Sweden is well known for being a sensible country FWH.

To heck with penalty points, you send them straight to the Nick, I beleave.

I usually tell visitors that they will be shot to death by the police if they think about looking at a drink.

Slight exageration - but the limit is low enough that one beer puts you over the limit.

I'm sure it wasn't meant the way it has been read. I'm sure vtec-hungry is aware that EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion wether or not they actually own a Type R. Its what you think looks best in your opinion.

It wouldn't do if we were all the same

I got my last CTR badge ripped off the back leaving 2 big holes in the paint. It cost my £12 from the dealer to replace. I didn't pay the obscene amount of money for the badge/sticker kit because it is a rip-off and more than likely some scumbag will rip them off my car, especially considering how lucrative a business it could be by stealing them! The size from the old badge to new is same and they are both made out of the plastic so how come the old badge was £12 from the dealers but the new one is multiple times that amount! Honda are rip-off merchants! I would sooner draw a Type-R badge on the front using crayon than let myself get raped by Honda greed! Grrrr!

RedTypeR07 · 22nd October 2007, 21:27

I was lucky enough to get mine for free, and personally i think the decals and grill badge to enhance the look of my red CTR. I do think £100 or so is quite a lot considering you got them for free on the previous model. When i picked the car up the dealer said the grill badge was a nightmare to fit! lol (Glad i didn't have to do it myself)
