OK people opinion poll...

I picked up 2 ralliart bagdes very cheap, and I'm thinking of putting them on the front 1/4 panels where the 3.5 epoxy badge is.

Do I do it??? What would you think if you saw the car?


Oh and another thing - Ive been chucking around the idea of making a magna (TH sedan i scored for parts) into a ute - ideas and opinions welcome!!

Magna Ute sounds like a cool idea :)

Ralliart badges tho... :nuts: you know what you think when you see a commodore exec with HSV badges... well ppl will be thinking the same :P

hey sorry i dont agree unless you have an all stocko car that is......,if you have anything ralliart? then i guess its ok cause then you can say hey i have Ralliart Extractors or other bits and peices ...But if she s stock than avoid the wank factor :D

It's a badge that represtents something so why would you want to put it on your magna? Is it in the hope you can impress some chicks or for some street cred? Serioulsy don't lower yourself as it will make you just like the bombadore hsv wanna be's. Your car looks nice as it is, would spoil it with the badges completly imo.

after much thought I have decided not to re-badge the car.... Ralliart badges will not be put on, until I have added ralliart mods (i agree) it would look wanky, thanks to those who offered opinions...

**** mods please close thread ****

I looked at going the Ute path with my pulsar when I upgraded to the Magna, seeing a an N14 Ute would be pretty unique.

A word from someone who has done the leg work....If you don't have big dollars don't bother.

The problems I ran into are:
- There is very little you can do yourself as the braces etc will need to be engineered
- Several Thousand $$ to engineer
- possibility that it may never be registerable
- You would lose most your tray as you need to install many braces (it was approx 13 for the pulsar)
- Many parts would need to be custom made

I looked at it for a long while and instead decided to buy and fix up a caravan for my frequent trips as a CAMs official
