Sport badges on 172

ginola45 · Dec 11, 2003

Alrite,

I would like to get a sport badge for my clio like on the back the 172

(look at the back of one in the pictures)

http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio172 http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/?gallery=clio172

But when i went to buy one this bloak told me you have to drill two holes to put the badge on, is this true or is jus chattin sh*t! cause i thought the badge would stick on

I wanna get some cause think they look mint but do they need to be drilled

any help would be great!!!

Not for the sport badge, IIRC its the Clio bit that has/requires the 2 holes in the boot.

KDF right. Agree with Jillys mumbles, whats the point in pretending to make the car something its not?

cheers for the help

paddymph · Dec 11, 2003

it;s just stick one mate, make sure u stick it on right as theres no going back once youve touched the paintwork, its well sticky!

If he wants to stick a sport badge on it who are we to argue!? Bit snobby saying that methinks...

RobFenn · Dec 11, 2003

Have i entered maxpower.net?

Sorry..

KDF · Dec 11, 2003

Make sure and stick it on right though, I was behind a 172 lookalike in edinburgh, and he had the badge aligned to the wrong side of renault.. aswell as a sunroof..heh

any excuse to post a pic up of my baby..

this has been argued before. I rekon its ok technically dynamiques are classified as sport models. So long as u dont put 2.0L badges on it!!!

While I havent posted anything against him doing it (and dont have anything against him doing it, its his car he can do what he likes to it), it is completely different one is made by renault and labled a "sport" the other is made by RenaultSport.

RobFenn · Dec 11, 2003

But the whole point is you want it to look like a 172..and a technical reason is just a shroud for that.

I know if i was a 172 owner i wouldnt want the reputation of my car ruined by 1.2 wielding a Peco backbox everytime it gets caned at the lights by a Nova..

Yes of course its perfectly acceptable to put a sport badge on any car

but what hes suggesting is using part of the RenaultSport logo, which is a completely different matter.

paddymph · Dec 11, 2003

hmmmmmmm, whys that?

Pete · Dec 11, 2003

Anyone know if the v6 badges fit the 172?

Wheres the harm in the guy fitting a sport badge?

Nice rear end _KDF btw.

JillyB · Dec 11, 2003

erm, because its a logo for a group of cars 172, spider etc.

Pete, theres no harm in it at all, im just trying to explain why he will most probably have people laughing at it.

Ali · Dec 11, 2003

U dont need to drill holes...Cut off the wee plastic bits and use double sided tape! I did it and i like it...amen! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1069115585__K-tecExhaust3.jpg

Big Iain · Dec 11, 2003

so..... think you should be ok fitting the badge m8 as long as u don have a peco and start to race novas

spirez · Dec 11, 2003

FFS, its not like it says 3.0 255 bhp is it?! its a word, can someone define the word sport please? Does this mean everyone who doesnt own a 172/cup/v6 should remove their cliosport stickers from the windows? At the end of the day it means f**k all, its just a word but it looks smart on the back of the car. Just because ive got a cliosport sticker it doesnt mean my cars gonna be able to break any 10 second quarters and i aint gonna go on like it will!!

*rant over*

ginola45 · Dec 11, 2003

Well i jus wanna say thanx for the help every1, Still bit confused cause i never realised i said i wanted my car to look like a 172? i just want to lose that standard look from my car (probably like any other 1.2 owner!)

Ill post sum pics up soon cheers

Black Fox · Dec 11, 2003

IMO they look neater with just the clio badge.

Mondial172 · Dec 11, 2003

My aunts 1.4 16v Dynamic only has a clio badge. SHould it have Renault too?

Lagerlout · Dec 11, 2003

Leave him to it I say. Im on the look out for a Cup spoiler for my 172, not because I want people to think my car is a Cup ( heaven forbid) but because I think it will make my car look better. Simple as that.

_KDF, you need some silverfusion lamps dude!!!!

sweetkidda · Dec 11, 2003

ive changed mine to say sport

its a dynamique (billabong if u must no)

but on the insurance and everything with details about the car it says SPORT

all it is is a sportier look

eg alloys

bigger spoiler

better suspension i think

seats

things like that class it as a SPORT

topic ended i think

y do all 172 owners sl*g us 1.2 owners off

u were like us once werent u

sum may b nobs

sum arnt

get a life

im tired

fuk it

off to bed

KDF · Dec 12, 2003

well that post kinda pissed me off..

You tell me where above I sl*gged off his 1.2 ? I have a 172 and never said anything against it. So to say every 172 owner is a bit of a generalisation.

Yes I was like u, couldnt afford the cost of a 172 let alone the insurance. I personally never tried to "badge up" my car, but that doesnt mean I have anything against him doing it, and as I stated before I never posted anything negative, infact I gave him exactly the answer he was looking for.

Also as I posted above the 2 are not the same one is labled by renault as a "sport" the other was made/tweaked by Renaultsport.

At the end of the day if you like the way your car looks who gives a sh*t what anyone else thinks ?

JillyB · Dec 12, 2003

Sweetkidda, are you on drugs or just thick?

Not once have KDF or myself sl*gged off 1.2s.

Yes, the dynamique is a sporty car, and its perfectly acceptable to stick a sport badge on it. No one has said otherwise.

But, its not part of the RenaultSport group of cars, and this is the logo badge he proposes sticking on.

As KDF said, its your car, you go for it! Sod it, im going to stick a Ferrari badge on mine

Cord-172 · Dec 12, 2003

The Ferrari badges cost £150 + VAT JillyB! My mate has one on his MR2.....hahaha. Similar theme I guess?

RobFenn · Dec 12, 2003

Well im a 1.2 owner!!

Look, the 1.2 is not a sports car, stop with the disillusions of grandeur. The 172 and Cup IS a sports car. They are the cars which have been made by Renaultsport (hence the Renault and sport badging..lesser models dropped the RENAULT badge when it got a facelift), not the 1.2...i can guarantee they didnt touch it in anyway. So yes, you may as well stick a V6 badge on..or maybe a VTS one?!

Saying the sport badge enhances the back of the car is just plain wrong..how? It just clutters it up..being original would be removing all badges.

At the end of the day youre just trying to leech off of the 172s image..quit denying it.

By the way, the dynamiques and similar models are in the sport collection, so youre missing a badge.

-Rob

spirez · Dec 12, 2003

i still wouldnt call it badging up as it doesnt state the car to be any more powerful.

KDF · Dec 12, 2003

But RENAULTSport dont make a 1.2 ?

Tom · Dec 12, 2003

1.2s are sh*t tho.

spirez · Dec 12, 2003

the badge doesnt say RENAULTSport

Darren555 · Dec 12, 2003

Wolfs in sheeps clothing are fine...BUT...sheep in wolfs clothing

Cord-172 · Dec 12, 2003

I must admit that if the sport is added to improve the look of the car, why not go for a different badge like the sporting ones seen on Fiats for example?

I bet nobody would do that though...because fiat sportings are all slow?

KDF · Dec 12, 2003

As my GF said to me, you dont need to badge up your car to make it look nice.. be individual, make it look nice other ways. people are more likely to go wow at something individual than what they think is another bog standard 172 (1.2 badged up)

spirez · Dec 12, 2003

who would think it was a 172 if all it had was a 5 letter badge on the back?! and the only people who are likely to know that the sport badge is only from a 172/cup is a renault boff or cup/172 owner

spirez · Dec 12, 2003

or one of us

Cupster · Dec 13, 2003

I took the renault sport badges off the back of my cup. I hate them!!! I just have Clio and cup underneath that. If your going to put the sport badge on your car mate put it under clio and remove the sheeeeite renault badge. Its personal preference. Ok its not a RenaultSport but who gives a flying ffffffish, the guy likes the sport badge its his car aint it. put it in mate to encourage the road rage lol.

Barnsleylad · Dec 15, 2003

Lucky you.

Just found out I havnt got a Sport badge on mine
