Executive badging

I asked this question on the other forum but never got any replies, probably cuz I could never get the pics to work so nobody understood the question...........but anyway........the pic below is the back of my car. It IS a proper executive, not just a 'normal' one with leather seats lol. But how come mine is the only one in the world EVER I have seen this "Executive" badge on the back like this? Is this a standard badge does anyone know? Or did the guy before me maybe add it cuz he thought it was 'cool' or something? Just wondering, cuz I wanna take it off & put a "Williams" one there instead. I work at a sign company, can make me own stickers lol Very Happy

Think maybe someone has stuck it on, looks good though Cool

I know a proper exec had 4 doors and leather, but what else did the exec have that the normal 16v did'nt.

yes they didn't fit one.

The ph1's all had them, the early ph2's had them, then it was an option then it was phased out.

Isn't the airbag another difference? Or am I just being stupid? And they also have black (well, very dark grey) on the insides of the doors, not the usual light grey with the red stripe. Am I right?

Wonder why they phased the computer out ?? Confused

So it was only exec's that had the air bag as standard, i thought once the "M" plates came out all of them had the airbag Confused

I've seen the Executive sticker on P2 16V's before. Not in the flesh I have to say, but if that car is the only one then it's been listed on eBay quite a few times...

It was on ebay a few times lol. First time for Â£2,000 and I was like "oooh, want that car, but too expensive" and then a few months later it was back, for Â£1,500 so I was like "hmm......that's more like it!" and.......now I own it Very Happy
