    I was thinking about badging mine as a 1.2
    Just for the comedy factor. I had a 850 badge on my 1275 mini. But that was because I forgot to take to bugger off when I did the engine conversion.

    did you see that one at pv where they had turned the `3. into 1.8 cos it had a 1.8 8v. was very neatly done

    Why bother!

    I dislike the Ghey 16v badges, the VW style GTi on bait old Escorts and the M or M power badges on 316 poverty spec E36s.

    I like the surprise factor of lesser badges on quicker cars though!
