I decided last night that the "4x4 Turbo" badge on the back of the car had to go. I know some of you guys have replaced yours with "1.6" badges but where did you get them from, a scrappy or dealer? If dealer, anyone got a part number?

Thankyou kindly.

You could always go for 1.4 if you really wanted I got my 4x4 downgrade from a dealer, the parts manager will know what you're after (but probably won't understand *why* )

Dealer. The badge comes on the same backing paper as the Octavia badge, so ideally you need a dealer who will just sell you the bit you want. Options are:

1.4 - 1U0 853 687 FXC -

Other unusual options are 4X4 2.0 ....

yes, in a bit of inverse inverse badge snobbery, I saw an estate with this badge on the other day. It was unusual enough for me to have a quick look, but it turns out that it was a rebadged lesser model :thumbdwn:

(steel wheels, no driveshafts to rear.....)

inverse inverse badge snobbery

On a Skoda? Someone's lost the plot there...

..or remove the coloured letters, so it's just embossed in the bar, cannot be read from a following car.

i removed both the octavia and vRS badge from my boot, left the gril one tho

Where can I get the Grille badge any part numbers for Fabia Vrs.

Cheers for that fellas, one Q car coming up. Out of interest, did they ever make a 1.4 estate?

Don't think so, but they did make a 1.4 hatchback

But they didn't make it with a WRC wing on sadly :( Bit of a give away eh?

It was the only other car to come without rubbing strips tho

Apparently not for 200sx owners tho

No, they didn't.

Aah, no sorry. I had assumed you had the hatch .

Well actually there is one, not far from Cambridge

The Haldex-equipped one?

All that weight and those drivetrain losses on a powerful 1.4... Have pity on its owner.

What about Golf or Bora badges thats what i have on my 1.6 and a bit cheaper too

How about a Fabia 1.4 mpi badge plus a Jabba sticker immediately below it.

Mixed messages are great - seems to work for Tony Blair & co

Why would you rebadge the car? :confused:

so that thieving little beggers look at a different car

Not to annoy other motorists then?
