VE GTS, with a ZO6 badge on it, i have a pic somewhere

Geez Louise · 15-12-2011, 09:20 PM

I saw one as I was heading home today. Wish I had the camera ready.

Was a Commodore with the plates FRDBMB. (it was a stupid numberplate!)

I could have sold him a couple of vowels...and a few more letters to go with them!!

There we go... that looks better.

Why would anyone consider buying a Chev badged Holden? Such a high ****** ratio. Sorry but it's true.

Tell me about it mate...If I have to explain to someone one more time what exactly we drive (with the meaningless name G6E), I'll be tracking down some suitably styled Fairmont Ghia badges, I swear...

How about this one I saw on a "Chamonix" import in a carpark...is that a long name or what?

I'm almost reminded of the old Ford Laser (or was it a Mazda 323...?) that had a loooooong sticker low on the door that said "4WD twin cam twin carb EFI five speed"...and so on.

My mates boyfriend just put gold chev badges on his VS, because they make it look "snazzier". I replied with, "so would replacing it with a Ford". He shutup.
mind you. He also think his VS could outrun the BAXR8....

Nikked · 15-12-2011, 11:17 PM

What about factory fails...

The BF cobra

It had a GT badge, a cobra badge, a r-spec badge, a FPV badge and a ford badge. All on the boot.

v6 p platers around hear dump the power steering fluid for the same effect

One of my mates has FPV and some tuning brand stickers on the sides of his AU Falcon, racing logo style. They are only little ones between the wheel rim and the front door, but they look like crap. Justification? It has an FPV part in it (apparently), so we are all ok.....

Hmmm, my mates BF I XL ute has a MKII badge and I couldn't figure out why, maybe it was in a prang.

Ah right, I was genuinely curious about what the number plate meant.

You mean the factory did that?? I saw one in Bundy the last time I was down there, and tried to take a photo of the back...I honestly thought someone had stuck on an accessory "R Type" badge from something like a Skyline...

munners · 16-12-2011, 08:36 AM

Just saw a Captiva with a Chev badge

That's hilarious. I'm surprised they let him register that plate, but they probably thought, "ehhh. He's not telling any lies. Why not"

I'd love to see "Moron" "Retard" or "Braindead" as number plates.

They'd be even better on Commodores with Chevy badges on them, with those hubcaps that keep spinning when the car stops.

I see this car everyday, in fact it drove past my office at Kingsgrove maybe 20 mins ago and reminded me of this thread!

I saw an FG Xr8 in WA once that had a twin turbo badge on it. It really annoyed me because they didn't come out with a twin turbo.

Was it modded to TT?

**Burnout** · 16-12-2011, 07:21 PM

There's a 3 series Beemer running around the Gold Coast with the plate FAR-TED. Bloke has a sense of humour.

Yeh! They didn't come with 8 piston Brembo's, 4 x Walbro fuel pumps, and a 5lt modular fed by two Garrets from the Ford factory.

Cat factory - different matter entirely.

Falcman0o7 · 17-12-2011, 04:36 AM

onfire · 17-12-2011, 05:16 AM

Recently saw a white BA XR6 with FPV badges replacing the Ford ovals, then to top it off.. Cobra stripes and badges.

A GM badge would be more applicable if people want to show their allegiance to America.

Not the Chev badge thing again...
Yes its been overdone, but it is the same company.. and guys used to do it in the 70's too when they put a Chev motor in.

The V6 is a GM engine too after all.
