[GarethM]

[fUbAr]

going back to Eibach springs, but trying the sportlines this time.

[GarethM]

[Clio R]

looks gd how easy isit to remove the 2liter badges from side strips on mk1 172. do u have to take hole side strips off?

 

[Ali]

I liked your pink and green ones!

 

[fUbAr]

why cant you drive the car for a week??

got my hand all strapped up, broke my finger in 2 places

yeah ypu have to remove the whole bump strip. open the doors, front's slide backwards, back's slide forwards. then just squeeze the clips in and pop them out if i can do it with 1 hand, i'm sure you'll manage!

 

[fUbAr]

I liked your pink and green ones!

still got the pink ones

unsure whether to paint the 1.2 ones or not.

 

[Ali]

get em on! lol

 

[fUbAr]

 

[Ali]

Did you hand paint the numbers?!

 

[Spiezels]

lol wanna race i am actually in a 1.2 RN haha yeeeyy

 

[fUbAr]

Did you hand paint the numbers?!

yup, spray over the whole badge, then hand paint the numbers. then laquer the whole thing. did the same for my silver ones.

spiezels, yeah i'll race you, im getting the 1.2 8v engine conversion done next

 

[Clart]

never really understood the whole 1.2 badges thing

 

[fUbAr]

never really understood the whole 1.2 badges thing

i did it as a joke. I get so fed up with trying to explain why my clio is better than the others you see on the road. Its far easier just saying "i drive a little clio" and its become a joke at work.

 

[Spiezels]

[fUbAr]

[fUbAr]

no idea mate, i can only justify my reasons lol

 

[Giles]

cool

I will beat you fUbAr

 

[fUbAr]

cool

I will beat you fUbAr

yup, you probably will... i've got to walk everywhere for the next week! lol

 

[Ads_172]

Rubbish, get in and drive the bloody thing! I drove for weeks with a (unknowingly) broken wrist... didn't do much harm, except for healing wrong and needing an operation and bone graft. :S

 

[Middo]

lol, thats dedication for ya liking the sleeper look

 

[sh33n]

Obviously so you can laugh at people with 1.1 badges, durr lol.

 

[Rich_16v]

Get a pair of 1.2 badges

 

[Ads_172]

lol, thats dedication for ya liking the sleeper look

The car of choice was an old red Micra, so not so much dedication as pure male ignorance of being unable to do something!

 

[fUbAr]

Get a pair of 1.2 badges

can't be done, they dont come in pairs. The clips on the badges are in different places on both sides, so the 1.2 ones can only go on the driver's door. Unless you snapped the clips off them and glued them on...

 

[Jay]

I used to have the 1.2 and RN badges on mine.

That was before I had the 182 and did actually have a 1.2 RN!

lol, i would have done the opposite and curled up in a corner felt sorry for myself, and made my girlfriend drive me around all day... dont know what that says about my manlyness

 

[Martin_172]

1.2 badges on a 2.0 is fun, all the knobs in the 1.2 corsas think you must have a chip + a K&N coz its "well fast for a 1.2"

 

[Giles]

most peeps think my clio it still a 1.2 lol

 

[Christopher]

nice effort lad.

as god says..."always badge down, never badge up"

i've seen an e46 m3 badged as a 316i. lol

 

[b3nje]

Whats point in making your car something its not? Is this not the same as putting a 2.0litre badge on a 1.2?

No offense as it doesn't bother me but just curious as everyone seems so against putting 2.0litre badges on a 1.2..

Putting 1.2 badges on the car doesnt make it a 1.2 lol.

silly man.

 

[b3nje]

look like something it's not. its only the same as putting 2.0litre badges on a 1.2! I honestly find it funny as said before just the fact that everyone elses seems to agree with it yet if you had a 1.2 and put 2.0litre badges on they would of gone mad!

 

[D"w!Z]
