Re: Pics of pre MY21 with R Design badge on boot?

I know not everyone's a badge fan but I like them. The R Design boot badge was dropped I think and certainly our MY22 doesn't have one. I sourced one off that auction site but it's in a clear rhumboid shape as per the pic, and with a mount effect, whereas from what I can see the OEM was no mount an...

Re: Range anxiety

pjm007 That makes perfect sense to be fair. As I said in a previous post I am a bit paranoid trying to keep the car in electric mode watching the needle. Bit silly really but hey ho.
