XR-6003 Member 38 Member For: 17y 6m 13d Posted 28/03/09 11:56 PM 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 :):)
