Turbo Cup Badge

[MartinRS2K]

As you know I like to mess around with different things and after looking at different 944 Silver Rose cars around the world I liked the French idea (that's a first liking something French [] ) of their 944's being called Cup cars.

I decided to try and replicate one of their cars so have had made a limited run of Red 3mm acrylic Cup badges to go on the back of my car.

Interested to hear peoples thoughts on this good and bad []

The decal looks beautifully made but it's a no for me. I just love the word "turbo" there sitting on it's own. A badge of honour and a wee warning to any of the souped up shopping trolly brigade not to mess!

I think you run the risk of making your car to the uneducated look like a bog standard affair with a badge stuck on the back. Not good!

It's a 'no' from me Martin even though I quite like the colour and font.

I guess I am just having difficulty getting used to it. It could grow on me though....

If you like it and it's a replica from the French series then I could live with it no problem. Why not upload a couple of actual car photos?

It woudldn't be "original" I know, but how about the word "Cup" being in black instead of red. And maybe then loose the word "turbo" as well. I think I'd like it if it just said "Cup".

This was a different one, but not officially done by Porsche

how about the turbo on the left (of the car) and the cup on the right, can anyone photo shop it quickly?

 

[944 man]

Cup was the French concessionaire's rename of the Turbo S, wasn't it? I prefer the C pillar badges in laurels. When Turbo script badges cost a tenner you could play about, but since Porsche more than tripled their price Im reluctant to mess with mine.

Martin, I like the idea....but not the look yet. The C pillar laurels, would that be the best approach? Then again, if it was the French market approach there is a genuine-ness to it. Dunno.

If you mean the Silver Rose then in the UK and Germany it had a black Turbo badge, in France it had it as I have added with the Cup badge in red.

Martin, "Cup" in laurels ala the original for the rear quarter B pillar would be cool, these were stickers and not badges as such.

Personal taste Jim, I didn't like the laurels and prefer the Cup badge, but we are all different []

 

[PAUL RUDDY]

Thought the Cup Laurel decal on the rear 1/4 was just something someone made and not official decal as such ?

 

[Frenchy]

Thats the one Paul.....Me Like........official or not.

You go for the laurel Jim and I'll stay with the Cup badge []
