A "carrera" script on the side could work if you like it (but I don't). But don't put RS-logos on it when it's not a RS. Even a heavily modified C2 isn't a RS or Cup...that's why I call my car a C2R!

I'm not a fan of badging cars to pretend to be something else, but if you do make sure your badge says 'Carrera RS' and not 'Carerra RS' as your OP spells it. 
The trouble with this is there are subtle things which make a euro Carrera RS very distinctive. Apart from the obvious interior changes, there are little but easily spotted things which will always give the game away... for example: never had a sunroof, front bumper without headlight washers, no rear wiper, RS-only rear bumper section, etc, etc...

If you're looking to spruce it up a bit, there is nothing wrong with that. A "Carrera" logo on it might look good, but I would NOT put "RS" on it since it is not.

Swedish RS-cars actually has headlight washers because that was a law at that time ;.)

I put the Carrera script on the side of mine but it is only noticeable in direct sunlight. RS badging on a C2 is not as bad as Turbo badging on a N/A car but particularly your car looks great as it is.

Very nice looking. The first thing I focused on were the wheels. Nice. Did this car come from the factory with twin exhausts? I'm guessing not. Not sure about the white bottom. It seems to make the Carrera script look too high. Maybe it's just the angle? Definitely a nice car.
