Sounds like it.

..... is that a wind up?

You can put what you want on the back/side/front of your car. Just so long as you tell your insurance & up date your V5 if you do actually alter what's under the bonnet/etc
I used to have V6 badges on the side of my Cortina MKIII ...... they didn't make it go any faster though

Well, thats 'dangle berries', as all the kids with their Saxo Turbos around here reckon that sticking the badge on makes the car like an F1 car. Init.

I did the opposite. My 2.0 MKIII was badged as a 1.6. Gave me great childish pleasure matching other 2.0's and leaving other 1.6's behind  .........until one day when I came across a MKII Savage ......and lost.   

My MG Montego Turbo was not badged as a Turbo either, which caught a few people out.    Oh dear, I've just said out loud that I had a Montego.

Just what I was going to say!

I had one too! With knackered shocks, bushes wheel bearings and tyres it was way too powerful for the chassis. That was once I'd fixed the blown head gasket/warped cylinder head, which was why it was only £100 in the first place. I still don't understand the slagging that Montegos still get; as a car it compares pretty well to a mk2 Cavalier or Sierra. Its main competitors!

Yeah, but they went like the clappers. Until:

1) a corner
2) a gust of wind blew out the oxides of iron.

Must admit, it was a good car to me for the five years that I owned it. I bought mine new and it served me well. Sold it to my B-I-L, who owned it for another four trouble free years   
Went well but the torque steer was 'entertaining'.

The Cosworth Badge on the back of my Sapphire was magnetic so it could be removed when parked up. I did make some 1.6LX magnetic ones to go on the back if the mood ever took me.

   Mr Carter who owns Omegatoys old omega "shed" still has the 2.0 16V badge on the boot. It has full Lotus Carlton mechanicals in it.
