Badging on Kit Cars and Specials
Is there any convention on badging? What sort of badges do people put on there cars, names, manufacturers marks, power ratings engine size?

the only convention is that there is no convention 
Do what ever you like

whatever you want really
personally, i wouldn't put anything on.
i've never understood folk that paint their cars in Gulf colours, and put gulf stickers on them etc. these people aren't getting paid
anything from Gulf, so why give them the advertising.
same goes for manufacturers badges on cars. i might be temped by a vauxhall or opel power sticker since thats my engine, but thats it

Nitram38 had a good one made for the motoleira
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I put little blue Ford ovals, taken off wheel trims, on the bonnet and boot.
"So is it an original Ford?" was asked of me yesterday in Homebase carpark

Oooops, I thought the thread title was "bodging" not badging
Seeing as I'm here, we only have 2 badges/stickers.
Our beautifully made (by Gaz1977 of this parish) Locost cast metal badge.

HAHA! problem is people can write on it without you realising.
I used to drive a reliant rialto when I lost the use of my left arm in a bike accident for a few months, I didn;t notice but one of the lads int he
office stuck a laminated poster on the off side of my car.
Trotters Inderpendant Traders, except he made the first letters of each word about 100 x the size of the rest of the word.
So I drove round for days with TIT on the side of my car.
My nan noticed it!
