Whats Wrong With Putting T Sport Badges On A Gs?

[oliross]

G'day, why is every one hating putting T sport badges on a non T sport?

[jay dh]

be careful bud, u may be in for a slaughter...

[RossP]

Because it's not a T-sport....

Don't make your car to be something that it's not. Simple as that in my opinion

[jay dh]

in the respect that its trying to imitate a car you want it to be. it just brings down the t sport imo

and what RossP said

[earpl]

and you will only be shown up by other cars.

[oliross]

i do agree with you it is trying to imitate a car its not, however all you guys with T sports are prob alot older than me and dont find it hard to get insurance on one, hence i have to try and make mine look like one

[earpl]

im just 21.

[minidoughty]

but surely the insurance will be a lot anyway for all the mods you have done to your car? probably the same total cost to insure as a standard tsport?

u were right up to hence

you just have to wait until you can afford one, harsh but all in the same boat

[oliross]

insurance fully comp at the moment without the sparco buckets as they arnt fitted yet is £750 thats with all mods, there are no performance mods only the exhaust and the lowering kit

[jay dh]

we all had to wait to be a bit older to get a fater car

i had my 1.2 clio, its how things are unfortunately, i pay £500 a year fully comp at 21 with 1 years no claims on a t sport so you could prob get one when you 20 if u have the money

I wouldn't mind that if you also made all the other changes to make it into a T-Sport. But if not then putting the T-Sport Badge on something that isn't a T-Sport is a bit sad.

And you're probably invalidating your insurance.

I'm pretty sure that the cost to insure a Gs that has been modified to be a T-Sport is more than the cost of insuring a standard T-Sport. Insurance companies don't like mods.

i do agree with you, im sure that if i owned a t sport and people were badging gs's as t sports i would get annoyed

[RossP]

Exactly...stick a T-sport Badge on, then go and do a quarter mile with a T-sport. Not really worth the effort is it? You'll only end up getting embarassed. As well as being pointless. Also, insurance company may have something to say about you rebadging the car. As it will become more 'desirable' to pinch Please, someone stop me......

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[earpl]

yep companys class it as more stealable.......... so telling them will up your premium and if you dont tell tem and it gets recovered with the badges on............... no payout.

Wish mine was that good. Standard T2 for a 21 yr old (0 no claims tho), £690 FC.

:ffs:

The exhaust would be declared as a performance mod as well... ;)

Putting badges from other cars on your own is almost as bad as those who put turbo or NOS stickers on a car, which doesn't have a turbo or NOS.

So in the words of the great Earpl, it's....

"Ghey...."

:D :P

It should have Been £1500 FC but i did my pass plus which lowered my premium by 50% which was ace cause it only cost £150 to do my pass plus and total saving off insurance was £600

[earpl]

no.....it makes em go faster :P
