Stealth and guess-work, that's my approach. Just one single STi badge.

I have the big STI sticker next to my Turbo 2000 AWD sticker on my classic - whats the problem?

I havent really - that would be shockingly bad.

I go with the majority on here, I think its a bit sad really and I wouldnt dream of doing it to any car. Seems cheap to me.

Im actually proud of the fact its a Turbo 2000 AWD - dont know why, its pretty sad, but I am. Thought of de-badging but couldnt bring myself to do it.

someone once wrote.......why do people badge their cars up to imitate a higher spec, well, it's to make them feel good and to impress fellow motorists, same as rally stickered cars that have never seen mud, let alone a rally stage. why does it bother some people (usually who own the imitated model), well, it makes them feel that their motor is no longer 'better' than one that cost less. varying degrees of insecurity on both counts.

Subaru were far too badge happy when they created the botlid of a newage anyway imo.

Bleeding badges everywhere..

WRX
Impreza
S U B A R U
STi
Type UK...

Funk me, anything else they wanna stick on it??

I subsequently took everything off except the small STi emblem

I mean why put Subaru impreza on it??

As if people dont know what the ugly car is in front with the silly sized spoiler, bonnet scoop and an engine with a "miss" is anyway lol

oh yeah? a little tap on the throttle will show how much better the actual spec really is
