RS Badging on non RS twingos

[holliedynamique]

Would it b okay if we all dropped the badge subject now? Everyones points have been heard now and just think it really dosent need all this attention when we should b talking bout happy things and modifications etc. That we have done (if people want to comment when I put a pic up of my new badge it would b nice good or bad but just dnt want it to start an argument) I understand a lot of u don't like it and that's fine I understand I'm not bigging my car up by putting it on I just hate having nothing in that bottom corner once the twingo has gone I don't think suddenly tht my cars going to become an RS no way

But thanks guys for being honest

I would like to add my part I have said before somewhere else I think but anyway..

I dont know if this is legit but I 'think' I may have done/changed/added the most to my 1.2..
Mine isn't even an expression! But anyway, I have a massive list of stuff I have done, all to make it into a much cooler car that I would like myself and my friends to admire..

I thought the back of it looked ugly, so I splashed out with my holiday pay on the rs spoiler and diffuser.. Now it looks great I think!
I thought anthracite was a much nicer colour than silver, so I change it, and now I think it looks great
I thought the wheels were just abit naff, so I got some lovely 182, match everything else, and they look good!

I might have all this stuff done to my car, but it's not like I've put a scorpion bodykits on it and a Halfords exhaust.. So I'm keeping it OEM, suttle and it's not being portrayed as anything else that it isn't..
Think I've gone abit off topic

But yeah, I've done all that, but I wouldn't put an RS sticker on.
I do think the back of mine looks plain and I think I miss the 'twingo' on the back.. And I would like something in the corner, I thought of a 'Renault' monograph (the metallic 3D kind) like off a Clio campus, but it wouldn't really look that good..

Ide love a black 133 with most of my additions on, so I guess if I hit gold I know exactly what i would want.. And if I got one, I wouldn't be putting a GT sticker on the back of that either

All I have to say to this is:
"Imitation is the sincerest form of Flattery"

But it also comes in the same league of stuffing ones front trousers with socks...the look may be there, but the balls aren't there to prove it :lol:

Whilst it's not something I would do to my car, if other people want to do it to their cars, why not?! At the end of the day a modification is a modification, who really gives a monkeys about an RS badge on a non-RS car?!

It's a bit like buying an unbranded coat/jumper and adding a popular brand logo to it, to make yourself look 'cooler'. Doesn't really matter, it's still always going to be the same jumper/coat at the end of the day and anyone who sees you in the street isn't really going to care either.

Its an age old problem, Honda have it with the Type R badge, VW with GTi etc etc

Whatever floats your boat, sticking 'wrong' badges on to the uninformed confuses them, it 'dilutes' the brand IMO, personally wouldn't do it it looks 'silly'.

i personally dont like badges on most cars :? even if they are the sports model,
but if they are a 1.1 stickered up as a sport then i think it looks completely ridiculous

but at the end of the day its the owners choice and just coz i think it looks utter **** doesnt mean they think that!



people want diff things from their cars, personally i couldnt give a damm what my car looks like or what toys it has, for me all i care about is speed and grip!!

i think that you lot that clean/detail your cars are mental!! but that doesnt mean that u are and its your car/time/cash so go for it

Making your car look like the car you want is fair enough. We all can't afford £13k cars, whether it's the monthly loan, monthy insurance or can pay £6.00 a gallon at 30mpg.
My Twingo Expression will not be an RS look-a-like, cos I can't afford the £2000 for the bodykit, tinted windows, alloy wheels. It will have a few mods to make it better than the standard car, but not to the extent that I could have bought the Dynamique.
What I don't understand is why people start with a £1500 Corsa and then spend £20000 to make it look like a £2000 Corsa....
What I also don't get is why people spend hours sharing their various opinions on facebook/twitter/myspace/youtube/forums, when there is a real world out there to explore in your Twingo's.

i reckon iv easy spent £10000 on one of my cars that looks and for insurance purposes is worth about £500 but the fact that it can out drag nearly anything on the road is half the point and fun :mrgreen:

think this thread is like poking a stick at a hornets nest lol.

each to their own i guess, express your self and objectss how you feel like, everyones allowed opinons (i think badgers are the children of satain whilst others love them), no one likes a whiny moanie person so just step up and be the bigger person if they go on about your car or what ever they they'll eventually grow up.
does anyone actually really give a damn if an almighty RS badge on a Modus or a 1.2 etc, enough to have a cold shower and sing your self to sleep because of the horror?
Mods, your best off nipping this thread in the bud, no problem with a member expressing a person opinon as were human but thread might get heated etc.
well thats all of last weeks negativity out the window. roll on this week

I started this thread for the right reason, the plan was for this to open up the subject, get it over and done with and for it to never darken our doors again. One place for all the negativity and bashing instead of it coming up over and over again.

Let it run and then we can get back to being the peace loving community this place normally is.
