A little back story - my younger sis had a few nice XBs in the past, including a bit of a mad-max alike, a pepper red gt replica and a work in progress coupe shell that'd spent enough time in a panel shop to come out better than new.
Life had its way with her though, as it does, and she had to give up the cars. Now she regrets it, and anything XB is her shiny passion. One day we'll find her another coupe, but until then... ...I do things like this to her 2001 Mazda tribute, for laughs (I work in print with access to a vinyl cutter). Keeps us sane   |

We had a couple of V8 badges laying around so we stuck them on a rusted out but still drivable XE 3.3lt manual, gave a few laughs...!

Many years ago I stuck 5 litre V8 stickers on the front guards of the wife's Corona.
The amount of guys getting down with their heads under the car looking for clues, kept us in laughs for a couple of years. |

Years ago I swapped the 2.0L badges for 1.3L ones when I rebuilt the 2.0L engine to it more poke. Put the wind up quite a few. Was all in good fun.

Several years back I pulled up to a set of lights in a 4.0 EF Falcon. In front of me is some POS 70's Japanese car (might have been a Civic or a Corolla, I can't remember). It had a Ford 351 badge on the boot. Anyway, after two or three minutes waiting for the lights to change, I must have got mesmerised by this badge - and forgotten what it was attached to. I take off at normal speed, and nearly run up the back of the "351" in front of me...

Wrong sticker on the wrong car for laughs.
