Hehe. Thats funny.
I once saw a Fairlane with the "FAIRLANE" badge replaced with an "ASTRA" badge. It was very much a case of  : I tried to take pics but it didnt turn out very well.

I seem to recall being in Victoria and seeing cars with fifty different badges on them, one under the other, on the rear, guards, bootlid etc. Asians seem to have thing for that, not being racist, but it was Asians who did it. Whatever floats your boat i suppose.

The fairlanes and mercs etc with Astra badges are from Astra Limousines. They are a company based in Botany in Sydney near the airport. I know this because the owner Alf also has an f360 convertible ferrari with an Astra badge too.

lol funny story about stickers. when my brother was building his clevo and buying bits and pieces for it they usually came with a sticker or two. what to do with them? ah why not put them on the daily hack green EA wagon
a couple months later the whole back windscreen of the wagon was covered in stickers. ARP, MSD, Barry Grant even a few ANDRA stickers to name a few lol that was a crackup.
