Car tuning game
This is a text about a 'car tuning' game. Players can design their own car, choosing from the following options. 'Axe' seems a bit odd here. Is it a term for something in Spain, another type of flag?
-Retrovisores: Estándar plateado, Estándar negro, Estándar madera, Estándar clementina, Estándar blanco, Estándar verde.
-Capós: Luces Policia, Cornamenta, Capó Negro.
-Vinilos: Fuego, Love, Floral.
Xtras: Banderín España, Banderín Barcelona, Banderín Madrid, **Hacha**.

Ultra right flag
My initial thought went to some of the Spanish and Italian fascist flags, of which the latter is an axe. Looking further a prominent Real Madrid supporters group, the "Ultras Sur" has an axe as the central part of its flag. Perhaps it is a reference to this.

: Alas, I think this is probably it. But I'd actually say "Ultras Sur flag" or just "axe"; "far right" could suggest all sorts of things (primarily a swastika).

Axe
Hi Lisa,
Thanks. Here goes then:
I can't think of any other meaning of hacha that might be relevant to the context.
Calling someone an 'hacha' is equivalent to calling them an 'ace' in English (e.g. un hacha de los negocios), but that clearly doesn't have anything to do with the context.
Maybe it's simply a sticker or spray-on similar to the one in the pic, but without further confirmation I wouldn't translate it as anything other than 'Axe'.
:O)

: (My browser refuses to open your link, telling me it's dangerous; probably wise.). Since "Banderín Barcelona" and "Banderín Madrid" must refer to the football clubs, this is quite likely to be the Ultras Sur flag (ugh!). But I agree, translate "axe".

Hi Charles. I found it through Google.es images: tuning+hacha, 2nd row of results, or thereabout. It's basically a pic of an axe on a shield-shaped Spanish flag. I think you're right, probably is an U/S emblem.
