Ross Mac Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Just wondered peoples opionion on the above... In the space of a week in and around Newcastle Ive seen 2 Z's with the nissan burger on the back repalced with a GT-R badge No offence if its someone off here but I just dont get it I understand Nismo, Tommy K, Greddy, TwinturboZ etc etc, but GT-R??? Sorry havent got any pics but its just not even associated with that part of Nissan..... Quote
srobrien Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Never seen it, hope to never see it, people with it should have their cars removed from their possession and possibly have their arms amputated. R Quote
martinmac Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 May as well go the whole hog and stick dancing horses on them. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Never seen it, hope to never see it, people with it should have their cars removed from their possession and possibly have their arms amputated. R Hmmm, the arm amputation maybe the answer. Just a bit weird. Like sticking a Cosworth badge on a XR3I or an RS Turbo. Quote
clarkie34 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Wonder if it gives 450bhp and 4 wheel drive.Don't think so,thought zed owners had more taste than that. Quote
Anubis Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 It's a shame owners feel they have to do this. Whether your driving a shed on wheels, focus, zed or even a GTR and your happy with it then don't try and make it something its not. What a numpty! They seriously don't know their cars... Maybe I should put a 'WRX STI' badge on the back of mine to make me "cooler" - my zed is blue likea scooby. No one will know... Quote
lamby Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Maybe I should put a 'WRX STI' badge on the back of mine to make me "cooler" - my zed is blue like a scooby. No one will know... you could add a shopping list down the wing and an electronic dump valve.......................sure to add some extra horse powers Quote
LRF4N Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 thats like the red fiat uno i used to see with a ferrari badge on the front wing... and the banged up peugeot 205 with an audi badge i used to see when i was at uni.... the guy bent the wire himself and even put the rings on squint lol i worry about the hands zeds are coming into these days Quote

jerry3167 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Seen loads of Non-Type-Rs WITH Type-R badges too, not very good taste to do this. Quote
LRF4N Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 like fake M badges on beamers they annoy me- esp when they make it an "M 530d"! as if the standard bumpers and crappy alloys dont give it away lol Quote
richt Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 like fake M badges on beamers they annoy me- esp when they make it an "M 530d"! as if the standard bumpers and crappy alloys dont give it away lol Did see an M5 with a 520D badge a couple of years ago Quote
WoREoD Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Makes me worry where they got them from ..... Quote
Ian Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Makes me worry where they got them from ..... I'd keep an eye on your badges if I were you Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 hahaha what a coincedence but i saw a black z today with the gtr badge... im guessing its one of the ones uve seen ross mac but to put it bluntely. i wont be saying anything to him about it.. the guy was HUGE!!!!!! i mean im in good ship but this guy was MASSIVE!!! yeh so i chickened out of saying anything to him.. hahahha -ho Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Lol! You should have asked him Ho what type of GTR IT WAS! Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Lol! You should have asked him Ho what type of GTR IT WAS! dude he was seriously about 6 ft 4.. and closing in on about 19-20 stone im 5 ft 10 and 13.5 so im in good shape... this guys was like a baldy hulk without the green!!!! Quote
Ross Mac Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Aye one I saw was a Black 54 reg one - up at the Silverlink Odeon Car park. Still dont get it but then at that size maybe the badge makes up for the power:weight disadvantge... Quote
goatboy Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I can never understand this. There used to be a guy on my street who had badged up his Jag XKR with Aston martin badges and an Aston grill, and another I regularly saw who had badged up his bright yellow Supra with Ferrari badges. I wouldn't mind so much but they are both actually really nice, respectable cars with normal badges on, now they just look like trash... ah well, there is no accounting for taste. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Lol!

Lol!! I did mean go up to him and ask him genuine questions.. like, is this the new GT-R? And then when he answers, try to keep a straight face and then run!!! Quote
