    .. could always stick some v6 alloytec badges on, then blow everyone away who thinks they are faster

    Mate who had a Super 6 did that, put the normal ecotec badges on.




    You could always paint them a different colour to the car. Like, if your car is black, paint them red.

    i took all the badges off my SV8, catches ppl out especially when it looks like a de badged exec. i dont know whats gets the confused look more, the eight note when she opens up or hearing that its manual.

    if for some reason im sick of having it clean, ebay and a few bucks and there back.

    personally id rather take the SS badges off myself rather that have someone else do it with a screwdriver.

    Yeah, a sleeper is a car which looks like it wouldn't melt butter - but blows the pants off you.

    One of the SC boys has a VP calais in this deep deep dark metallic red with a Ford BA XR8 bonnet on it, has a 383 under the bonnet, but has 3.8 litre fender badges on it and the plates UNFAIR.
