put on badges of a crappier car, put on the 1.9T from the s40. Its alot more entertaining when they think they got beat by a heavy car with a 1.9litre engine.

Nah, i'm not one to pose.

i would have said debage everything. but having stood and looked at a debadged, tinted, and smoked tailed S70 for quite some time; it didn't really look 'sharp' or anything. i would have at least left the volvo badge.

i voted T5 as thats what i've done with my car.

just my opinion but if for example you debadge an M series car people will still look at it and know, or at least have a good idea that it's an M3/5 or whatever.

with the volvo, the T5 bit lets people know. without it, it could be a 2 litre 10 valve or something. maybe not explaining myself well but thats my thoughts.

i liked the idea of someone in a previous forum i used to visit who had a brabus 7.3 with an E220 cdi badge on the back lol.

See, to me, that is the point. The person behind you has no idea what model it is. I only have a GLT and have removed my badges so that peoplewon't really know what I have under the hood. I would rather them think I have a 2litre 10 valve...lol. For example, I had a 97 Integra GSR and removed the DOHC VTEC badge on the rear so people didn't know it was a B18C.... until they heard VTEC kick in... :D

Whatever you do, don't put a badge on it that is more than what you have. If you put an R badge on it and lost to some little ricer kid, he'll just go around telling everyone he beat an R which just starts the whole ricer mentality thing all over again...lol

I've never heard any "VTEC kick-in" from behind me. B)

hahaha, that's very true

Also very true...lol. I'm actually in Milton/Pace so it's even worse. But I'm only up here to finish school and then it's back down south.
