Plenty of WRX owners stick STI badges and stickers all over their cars, if the man wants to stick a Cosworth badge on his car I don't see the difference. It may have a Cosworth oil filler cap or something.

Can I stick one on mine if it has a cosworth crate engine, cosworth head studs, cosworth cam belt, cosworth head gaskets, cosworth induction kit ???
Or is this frowned upon?

Give the guy a break, Jesus.
Its his car, if he wants to put a Cosworth badge on it he can have one.
Scoobynet at its best, its just a ******* sticker, get a grip.

Haha well said, some products send a sticker with them, k&n, hks I've got a apexi sticker and the R from rota wheels I'm my draw never put them on though, previous owner put a red strip of vinyl up each side saying impreza hks, this will be coming off when I start on the bodywork, only sticker that will remain on my car is the big wrx on my boot, there's loads of youngsters drive about cambridge with all the stickers on the front doors up the shut line in bog standard cars gotta make you smile, they must think they're still on need for speed haha

95% or more of people won't even look at or notice the badges, and the only people that will actually care are those that are similarly interested. At that point you might as well just pop the bonnet open and stand around looking at it or ***** pictures of it on forums :P

If you want a Cosworth then buy one. Why pretend you've got one when you haven't? What's the point?
Cause maybe he likes the look of the Cosworth badge?!
Or maybe he has a Cosworth, and the previous owner removed the badge?! (Unlikely i know)
But as already stated, his car, his choice.

I don't see a problem with it personally, particularly if you have numerous cosworth parts fitted. Seems the same as proudly having a tuners sticker on your car if it's tuned or looked after by one of the big tuners/builders.

Xline, does it anger you to see a scoobyclinic/enginetuner/etc etc sticker on a car?
If I see these on cars I always assume the owner has spent money wisely and it's likely a well looked after vehicle.

No they are not, but neither is the man who has a complete cosworth engine build with all the trimmings and has a 'powered by cosworth' sticker.

If I had a 12k Cosworth built engine I think I'd have a "powered by Cosworth" metal engraved badge/plaque on boot

So in summation, powered by cosworth is ok
Just cosworth is not.

I have cosworth air pump delete plates fitted to my 2.5 block. Does this mean I qualify for a cosworth badge?

Honestly, it's a badge and it's his car! He can do whatever he wants!

I don't like world rally stickered impreza's as much as the next man but you still see them driving about, so someone must like them!

I wouldn't say it's an outrageous lie as it isn't saying 'I'm a CS400', but at the same time I wouldn't do this. And I agree you are only kidding yourself if you stick cosworth on the back when in reality you only have a cosworth air filter.

What I have been considering is a 'power by cosworth' badge, due to a pretty extensive list of cosworth engine parts. It's not representing a cs400 in any way as it's a completely different.

Xline what the **** is up with you. I've seen you go off like this on other threads too.
Do you really have that little going on in your life that you have to get all worked up about a tiny bloody sticker.
Come fella, get a grip and relax.

Xline - The troll who thinks is UK Subaru is a "pile of Japanese trash'. Also know as the hermit down the street with no friends dreaming of yesteryear and where it all went long.

I LOVE his posts.

You need a JDM impreza in your life Xline.
I can only imagine that the fact you only have a UK car has made you bitter and twisted......Don't be down about it, not everyone can afford a proper impreza. You'll get there one day im sure my friend....... LOL.....

I'd encourage you to do so, you grumpy bugger!

Banny looks like he eats about eight kilos of raw Ox liver three times a day and washes it down with lemon juice.
