Down badging

[rockmonkey69]

Is there no limit to how amazing down badging is?!
It's a win win 
I don't know if it would cut my insurance by much as the car was a 1.6 to begin with, so a 1.4 badge might not help as much.

Quite the opposite, Some companies wont insure modded cars so forgetting to mention the 1.4 badge you have fitted to your 1.6 may be seen as a mod and void the policy.

It really is worth checking as I'd hate for someone to lose out over such a simple thing.

I don't no about England but here in Ireland people only want to race a car if they think its fast
for example I wont race anything if I no its below 200bhp and if anyone in a 1.4 asked for a race I would laugh at him

I don't like the idea of going around and asking for a race, sounds awfully chavtastic. The 1.4 badge works well because I get left alone by chavs looking to try race everything in sight. Stops people tail gating me when I just have a headache and on my way home from a long day at work.

And when the mood takes my fancy I love the idea of down badging even more because people think I have less than 200 bhp because of a 1.4 badge only for them to be left confused lol

the only people asking for a race are the fellas in 1.3 civics or tdi cars that think that a 100bhp car is really fast. Also I love sleeper cars that's why im building my gti. Everyone round here thinks that gti's are very slow but I no that they have a lot of potential for big power 

as said lots of times before if you want a fast car rule out the mk4
