i dont think people do with the intention of makeing it look like a 2.0 ltr at all i think they do it because the silver ones look better-anyone notice that the newer mgs have silver bits similair to the sports.
I had mine painted silver but ive kept the bit showing my engine size-i did it because it looks better not to make mine look a 172
In all honesty I dont think 99% of those with Clios who badge them differently are doing so cos they want to pretend its a 2.0. The 2.0 badges are silver and therefor on a colour coded car look quite funky...getting a set from E-bay or a breakers yard is prob easier than rubbing, priming, spraying standard ones hence most folk do it!!!

What is the point in badging a 1200 up as a 2 litre, totally pointless and extremely funny when they get wasted !!
Ha ha!
Just been out for a spin in my newly-badged "1.2" 172 (badges from other halfs car).
It attracted sooo much more attention! Probably because its now a sporty-looking "low power" car. Must have really confused the Honda Prelude and Alfa 156 2.5 drivers I came across!
I had a Leon Cupra R follow me out onto the dual carriageway though - he double checked the badges when eventually he got past!
Wicked fun!

Surely tribes living in the amazon rain forest know renault dont make a 2.0 5 door.

Youve seen it before and here it is again
The "sleeper" look is becoming the new trend

I really dont see the appeal in putting a 2.0ltr badge on a 1.2. It must be pretty embarrassing to be honest!!
No harm in styling your car like the RS versions as they look good.
Worst Ive seen is a BMW 316 with Ferrari stickers on either side and Ferrari badges on the wheels. Now thats what a I call a w**ker!!! Drove like one as well.

Lets face it, the only people who badge up are young drivers, so its for bragging rights only. Same with Sport badges. Theyre not fooling anyone..
Im not sure about this badging down thing either..maybe on j3neds motor because it is actually a sleeper, and would give a decent fight to a proper sports car..but 2.0 Clios arent that fast are they.

I thought HazzyP had a 5 door?
Sorry to Hazzy if Im wrong.
Debadging is the new black anyway, Ive got plain side strips on my car, no "2.0 16v."
