20/02/06 02:21 AM20/02/06 02:21 AM #31 I'd have like to see something to differentiate the T from the NA’s, but I’d rather it be something that ford have done, and be some body work type cosmetic rather than placing a few extra badges here and there…I’ve see photos of T’s with the turbo badge underneath an XR6 logon just front of the doors, which looked ok, but I’d rather them placing say intakes in the bonnet or something along those lines to help differentiate…Me personally I like the current badges, I don’t want to take them off as it shows people what is about to disappear into the horizon when they pull up next to me… And besides without the badges \ side skirts \ spoilers \ etc it starts to look to much like just a family car (all be it a fast family car), and whilst I’m not into rice, I do like people to realise I’m driving around in something more special that a family car…

I kind of think adding "Turbo" or "Sport" or "Speedy Whizzy Sexy Car" is kind of a bit blahhh..... As you probably all know - we get all sorts of crappy jap imports in NZ, and some of them have the gayest names and badges, particularly on 4WD spare wheel covers eg "Nissan - for the adventure style of live and nature" things like that, sometimes dont even make sense, a bit like Camry and Sportivo - dont even mix.I saw an XR8 the other day - on the boot had - Falcon and Mk2 on the left and an FPV badge, on the right the XR8 and Herrod and 300kw, half of the badges had silver, some black, bits of blue - and I just thought = "Yuck".Remember a few years ago "Turbo" badges etc coming out at speed shops etc? Well - they were tacky then.
