   Quickquestion really I've got a VTR and am thinking of putting the saxo badges from a furio onto it should I or shouldn't I do you think
   
   I'm thinking it'd be a good idea pureloy because it's more subtle that the VTR badges and also it'd make the car seem a lower spec than it is which would be better for when jumped up little chavs try it on haha
   
   Opinions please ?

   Downbadging is cool. Debadging is cooler. Upbadging is for gayers.

    Changing wheels for aesthetic improvement is nothing like upbadging a Vtr to a vts

    My opinion is that you are just as chavvy trying to race corsa's and the such... Your vtr aint exactly not gonna smoke a 1.2 or 1.4 so why waste the petrol doing ut, Id rather not change to a lesser badge as you'll get folk thinking its a lesser model and what happens when they dont race your big bad vtr?? they drive away laughing at your badged up 1.1 with a vt kit

    My point again.... a 1.2 tries to race him and he smokes it for a laugh.... sad existence tbh

    came up across a 1.2 punto 75 the other night. 75hp from a punto. it was quick, caught it but it was mostly the guys driving (erratic) that got him the edge
