Cambiocorsa sounds sportier than SMT
To use a phrase some on here will remember:
"Suits you"

Yes, the ever practical Toyota missed a trick there.

Don´t know where I´d put it, but made an offer.

Maybe would go on the rear lip of the engine cover, a bit of added weight there would help hold the back end down.

As only 1.
Somewhere on the rear. But other bits might need removing.
If there was 2. One either side. Somewhere near the side repeater.

Only one...
May take the ´Toyota´ off. Sticking it on the opposite side makes it a bit crowded imo.

e

Taking one badge off, to allow for the space wise/ aesthetic of fitting the new one, would help with your overall weight minimisation ethos.

I keep thinking of DE badging mine just to confuse people a bit more.
 But that would not be vanilla

Vanilla (ice cream) is not so unadulterated as you may think, it is "ice cream" plus vanilla flavour.

There is an Italian "ice cream" known as Gelato Al Fior Di Latte, " Flower of the Milk. It is simply milk, cream and sugar.

So it could be said that there is less than "vanilla", so a De badged 2 could be called : Fior de 2 / Flower of the 2.

Just saying as someone used to say.

Spot on; mago, pistacho, málaga, stragiatello is the same state of modded ice cream as vanilla. It is just that vanilla is the most middle of the road flavour.

Jason´s car is not fitting that badge in any way. It´s a TTE turbo with a special paint coating and furthermore has a louder exit pipe plus BBH inlet. Rather a trick vanilla...

Put the badge in the grille, like they do on the Civic type R

Does BBH mean what I think it means?

Did you think Bl@@dy Big Hole? If so then yes. I think Jason thought it an SBH; Scáry Bi... well you get it.

This seems to have gone way off topic. But the op has gone with it. So must be ok.

My favourite ice cream (geleto) parlour is a small Italian place on an even smaller side street in Alvor Portugal.
Su"chuffing"perb.

Hopefully I will find myself there again one day. I will be so excited to be there, I will have forgotten this post. But if, just if. I will ask if he has the vanilla of vanilla. Which I have learnt today is sans vanilla.

I have to correct you on louder. ;)
To my mild surprise, the straight through is quieter than the TTE. Quieter, but TTE sounds better.
