The Mk6 Fiesta RS;
Looks somewhat different from the concept they showed at Geneva in 2004
Such a shame Ford never put that Fiesta into production

Seeing as this thread got bumped, I parked a few cars down from a Pug 206 this afternoon. I'm guessing it was owned by a young girl due to the odd bits of pink interior trimming inside, and on the driver side door there was this custom badging:
I can only assume they're advertising themselves as JailBait. Either way, it was more concerning when a woman in her mid 40's came back to the car. Definitely not JailBait
I can only hope it was driving her daughters car It's a strange practice tbh
Smaller engine cars badged as higher engine ones usually don't have all the correct external body parts, and most certainly don't have the noise.
Bigger engine cars badged as smaller cars make the thing look a bit naff, can understand if police keep pulling you over or people try to race you though I suppose.
If it were me, I'd only consider completely de-badging the car.

Saw a reverse Partridge today. Second generation Vectra with one of these on the back:
Also had a V6, 2.8, and turbo badges as well but due to the age and small wheels not sure they were telling the truth.
Why would it not be telling the truth?Also had a V6, 2.8, and turbo badges as well but due to the age and small wheels not sure they were telling the truth.

I don't get it. You've seen a Vectra with a Vauxhall badge on it?Also had a V6, 2.8, and turbo badges as well but due to the age and small wheels not sure they were telling the truth.

Just spotted this in ASDA car park in Aberdeen.
Shame as it is a nice car (3.0 supercharged) but come on, they didn't even make a V10 in that shape!
It had the V10 badges on the front wings as well.
I never get stuff like this.Shame as it is a nice car (3.0 supercharged) but come on, they didn't even make a V10 in that shape!

People who are into cars will know it's not a V10 & think "arse". People who aren't into cars wouldn't care less whether it says "V10" or "V110".
Bizarre.
