I wondered when this sort of thing would happen :lol:
someone 'badges' their car, and people jump in :wink:
hey - I wouldn't, by why shouldn't he?
it's not like it was up for sale as a Type R - what harm is it doing?
Just my 2p - I've just seen this sort of thing kick off elsewhere.
It's very easy to pass a 180 TT off as a 225, and owners were getting well wound up over it.
"Devaluing the brand" was the most oft used cry.
And when someone put an RS badge on.... blimey!
And Audi don't even make a RS TT :lol:
I think the only thing I do like are the tints. How heavy is the tint, cost etc. Does work very well with the Blackk. Could you not have got the storms, which IMO opinon, again on NHB look awesome?
I guess it is common place to make a 'lesser powerful' car look more potent for the younger drivers. Certainly round here, they have exhausts the size of bin lids, great at 2am (not !!) - Carlos Fandangio wheels, and picnoc tables for spoilers etc. But, there cars are allways immaculate, I just wonder how they afford it..................Oh yes I remember, no mortgage, no bills and no kids.... LOL
Danko, You go for it mate, if you are happy that is all that matters.
Ok, I will remove the badge sometime, Just looked at it for abit, and it does look abit outta place, but when putting it on, didnt really put much notice in it.
Your car looks lovely. The tints and really nice rims. (sorry al i have been watching to much pimp my ride again...) Badge or no badge it looks good. If you like it that is what is important.
To be a hypocrite though I wouldn't have the badge...but as I said if you like it
Just a quicky though how much of an effect as a % increase is this haveing on your insurance? (don't need the quote in £(none of my bussiness as I am sure You feel) just the percentage increase) thinking of having a pop at my Civic soon and just wanted an Idea.
Crikey, I just had a look at the price of those Kahn's on 18"s! At first, I thought "not bad for a set of four". But then I realised the price is per alloy!
As Pottsy said fantastic looking though. But then again I really liked your last set too! In both cases you chose well.
As for the Type R badge. Stick with it. A few might snigger, but it's very tongue in cheek and the rest of the car looks ace!
jayt, I went through the same thought process, but I think it is for a set of 4 (even though it doesn't say anywhere). Looking at another site kind of confirms this:
The badge was free from Halfords through a mate, did he nick it?
