XR-6003 Member 38 Member For: 16y 4m 1d Posted 28/03/09 11:56 PM Share Posted 28/03/09 11:56 PM Quick question,I have noticed my badges on my boot are higher than other xr6's and turbos around.The norm seems to be tha the turbo badge is inline if not just above the chrome strip on the brake lights.My turbo badge is in line with the reverse light.So after my recent case study of observing every xr6 possible, have noticed that they are all in different places?????Some below the chrome strip, 90% are just above the chrome strip and have seen some like mine in line with the reverse light.Sorry to sound so trivial but believe it or not this little thing has annoyed me for months and want to know is that standard from ford, or has it been de badged and re badged again or what??Some one have any info :):) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56156-badges-on-the-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

INFLYT Donating Members 784 Member For: 19y 8d Gender: Male Location: N.S.W, Sydney Posted 29/03/09 01:02 AM Share Posted 29/03/09 01:02 AM I haven't actually noticed where my badge's sit compared to other XR's but, as Chich mentioned, I would've thought they would use the positioning template to stick them on in the exact same position on all of them on the production line.I know being a long time VL enthusiast that their badge's were stuck on with the use of a template (circa 1985 - 1988), so whenever I've checked one out and the badge's were out of line, it would instantly cry out telltale and lead me to ask question's about accident's/respray's etc, and that sort of thing.
