Title: You lot are clever and stylish people.
Post by: Del Boy on 10 January 2010, 21:42:07
Sticking new (thinner) chrome number plate holder on the SAAB tomorrow, and new plates back and front.
Now I have a V6 badge where do I put it? It's genuine SAAB so not a chavvy look alike or do I leave it off?
Tell me where to put it because me and my son can't decide we think it'll look good but mrs. don't agree  :)

See now do I get shot of the 93 then and have no badges? Does need the number plate holder though I think looks good, much thinner and more subtle.

I prefer the "de-badged" look myself ... but it's your car to do with what YOU want ...  :)

Looks like yours never had V6, just Aero badge...

Personally i would leave as is, looks good, extra badges are going to chav it up, having just the 93 is nice and simple  :y

The only issue I have with the debadged look is that is what started by bmw and merc drivers who could only afford base models, and by debadging it it hid what it actually was.

Ultimatly down to the owners preference.  :y

I like chrome, especially on dark colours. I say badge top right, but your choice entirely.  :y

Take off the 93 and leave the chrome on the N-Plate

Have to agree. If you buy a cheap car, you hide the fact its cheap, by debadging it. Everyone does it.

If you buy an expensive car, why hide the fact? Leave the badges where they are, and if its entitled to a V6 badge, then let it have one!

I dont like a bootfull of badges, but every year I go to Billing, look at a load of Omegas, none of which have any badges, and have to really study to determine if its just a 2.0 8v with an irmscher kit, or an MV6 that's been 'irmschered' but debadged!

I know I'm in the minority on this, and of course it's owner preference, but as you're asking, Id vote put the badge on.

Just to make the point, though, I'm not having a pop at anyone with a debadged motor!!
