... it's Not my pedigree. The car's. All the badges say who built the car. MB, Karmann and AMG. In Germany. Gary

Re: my badges and bling

Too many badges. The fewer the better IMO. Makes the car look cleaner.

Re: my badges and bling

you've got one of the best 60's cars made (sunbeam tiger) and that one has only a couple of things to tip people off (fact. model and v-8 badges...which are small and size appropriate to the car). imho, less is more. even with a ferrari, you don't need the corp prancing horse everywhere on the car. you * know* it's a ferrari.

with our cars, the srt-6 logos are enough to let people know there's something special under the hood. how special and how big of a bang we got, well...that's what we know.

Yup. My Tiger has badges that say; powered by Ford 260. Made by Rootes and a Chrysler Pentastar. I took the star off. all these badges have body perforations. My Crossfire badges have none. Remove without damage if to your taste. Gary

Im all for badges. but they have to go with the theme of the car and less is def more. Maybe a bit more subtle?

The car is not subtle. The theme is German performance. Gary

OK...well...that will help. The Special Edition badge is pretty cool looking, just the fact that there wasn't a "Speical Edition" version of this car...was there?

Also, the AMG badge my look pretty sweet underneath one of the tail lights...

Yup, there were 140 base roadsters made in a Special edition. Blaze red, stick shift and special wheels and caps. no infinity or leather with heat. gary
