Someone stole my ST badge

peterattheboro · 2 Oct 2009 at 14:21

Yesterday I noticed that the badge had been removed from the back of my car alone with a nice little scratch where they've wedged a screwdriver or something behind to remove the badge.

Why the hell do we bother even attempting to have nice things as there is always some scuffy little **** (girl's front bottom) that will try and ruin it for you?

At the moment, what with my car needing the bumper repairing/replaced, the alloys are in desperate need of a refurb and now i'll have to sort the back out too... even if i do all this there'll be some little ****** who will just wreck it even more.

I just want rid of the car and to replace it with an absolute piece of dog turd.

debadge ye? sorry to hear about this peter problem with living oop north I spose, you still got all your jacking point covers and headlight washer covers? They usually go missing too!

Have I hell.

Still have the headlight covers but those stupid jacking point covers fall off at the thought of a slight breeze, never mind when I go for a spirited drive.

Surprisingly I have 2 of 4 remaining. :eek:

Replace with TDCI tbh

I probably will just for the lolz. Only the sharp eyed people will know it's a 220 by the exhausts

(And the noise)

Hahah you want to get yourself some better ones I have lost one in 18 months and have one that falls off occasionally but just flaps about until I pull over and pout it back in for the next few months! Get yourself a TDDI badge!!

Nipped into Ford over Preston Farm to see what badges they had.

Came out with these

Yay or nay?

Think the LX is in the wrong place slightly, however it is covering a scratch which was in the middle of the old ST220 badge.

Now any unsuspecting boy racer will think they have been destroyed by a 1.8 LX

(If they don't see the exhausts

)

Do it.

Reminds me of an old friend who bought a stolen / recovered Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth. It had its body kit, spoiler, bumpers & wheels nicked he replaced the parts with those from a 1.8 LX and had wide tyres on steel wheels rather than alloys.

It used to surprise a lot of people!

It looked for all the world like a lowered LX with a fat exhaust, a great "Wolf in Sheeps Clothing"

I did, that's my car

No they won't - besides, how many people are you going to 'destroy' who will even read it?

Shame

Probably a few 'tards who won't know what Mondeo it was and may catch me up at some lights.

Anyway, needed to cover up the scratch as it was annoying me and didn't want to fork out £20 for an ST220 badge so decided a couple of quid for an LX and TDCI badge (lol) will cover it up.

Incase i'm being targeted I didn't want the same thing happen again.

Whilst typing this i'm trying to think of something witty to say about a certain M badge on a certain BMW

I am being a ***** actually.

However i'm going to leave it a bit and see what happens to these badges incase I am being targeted.

Recieved it today mate. Thank you very much
