Exclamation Futura! To debadge or not to debadge??

Hello peoples,

Some wa*k has removed the "A" from my EFII "Ford Futura" badging. :-( I quite like the badging but should I bother to replace or just remove whats left and be done with it?
The trouble with debadging is that some people will think its debadged because it was a GLi which its not. Sigh.. the hassles of life..
:

PS one of my mudflats has disappeared also. Should I replace or just remove the other three. Some people on the forum here have said the car should be lowered if mudflaps are removed...

whats wrong with a GLi ;)

if you like the badge, get a replacemnt, if you're not fussed then remove it.
I've removed my GLi badge as i think it looks cleaner.

If weather people think your car is a futura or a Gli bothers you then replace it.. Otherwise leave it off, maybe even stick a ghia one there ;)... (Jk don't advertise it as something its not.)

The "Futura" part seems attached to "FALCON". Is it possible to remove the rest of "Futura" and leave the "Falcon" part of the badge?

ditch the mud flaps

replace the badge, they look good. No shame in Futuras or even a nice GLi
Maybe you can get an EL or higher model badge to replace it, whatever looks the best!

Are EL rear badges better looking than EFII badges? Anyone here stuck BA badges on their E series?
