Opel Omega, Chevy Omega, Cadillac Catera, Holden C
« on: 16 September 2011, 19:34:13 »

Chevy Omega, Cadillac Catera, Holden Commodore badges seem like a nicely subtle touch (not all of them at the same time!  ::)). But not Opel badges as everyone has them.

I think I'll get Holden badges from eBay Australia, just for fun.

(When I had a 944 Turbo with a 968 back end, I had a 944 S3 badge made (there were never any 944 S3s made by Porsche). Only those who knew smiled.  8-)

Whaddya guys think?

That's cos you're from Frome. Here in London, we have to sit in traffic jams looking at boot badges.  >:(

I removed them from my V6 but as the diesel is exactly the same colour and model I left them on so I can double check before filling up with fuel!

Hmm...maybe I should buy a Ferrari and put Fiat badges on it.

Or a Bentley and put VW badges on it

This worries me as i heard a story a few years back that someone changed all the Vauxhall badges on his car for Opel ones, not a problem but, he was parked up in a carpark and while he was gone the traffic warden came along checking the tickets and noticed the tax disc on the car said Vauxhall but it was, as far as he was concerned on an Opel.

The guy ended up with a ticket and alot of explaining before the case was dropped. Now i can't say for sure if the story is true or not but it is possible if someone is checking cars who doesn't know anything about them, just something to keep in mind

Cheers
Andy

My omega says Astra 1.4 on the back , similarly bike  says Kawasaki on petrol tank plates, and GP100 ( is a suzuki),previous 2.8 Capri had 1.4 on each side, Granada 2.8 had Sierra 1.6D on the back - just for confusion purposes.
