I would lose the badges for sure..... It is not an RS and having RS badges will not make it one....
That was not meant to be condesending at all - as I too think it is one of the cleanest examples around aswell - jsut like James Raby's and guess what? They are both XR3i's - so what does it matter?
What matters is what condition it is in, how well it was built and what parts were used..... But either way, it ain't an RS so I wouldn't have RS badges on there.....
But then, I don't like badges at all anyway
(PS, not being funny, but if your that bothered about people calling it an XR, then you should have thought carefully about buying it

)
