Badge on 4x4 has a "R" on it

[dandelph]

Hi just wondering what the R stood for on my 4x4? cheers Dan

Sounds like someone has added it? The 4x4 badge normally just says "4x4turbo" in silver, black and red

Some Barperson has nicked the t,u,b and o.

Ahh its got the 4x4 turbo silver badge under the octavia badge. But on the other side there is grey 4x4R sticker along with 4x4R stickers down each side.

Got any photos? Sounds like someone stuck some stickers on.

This is what they normally look like:

Looks DIY to me

There's defo no 4x4R model

All Octavia 1U 4x4's are 'Elegance' spec, and came with a silver on black oval Elegance badge just above the side indicator repeater

[dandelph]

its got the same sticker on both front doors just above the rubber strip lol

[snow_muncher]

Same size or bigger ?

[dandelph]

Same size so sounding like a diy fix then :think:

[wayned]

Yep 100% aftermarket.

That particular car has just had the stickers added... I had a quick round it whilst looking at something else.

Thought that was 20bhp per sticker? lol

[dandelph]

lol in 2 minds whether to remove the stickers as dont want to mark the paint work

[snow_muncher]

Bit of gentle heat from a hot air gun to soften up the glue

looks like the "R" off Suzuki's GSXR's!
