Two-footed Rebadging

Brabus have been doing Diesel power upgrades through official MB dealerships for nigh on 10 years now.

And yes, you get the badge.

Well you live and learn!

Surprised it still had the 320CDI badges on it though....

Why? Brabus are a tuner and the car was a Brabus tuned 320CDI.

I see you've 'edited' your original post now.

Depends on the dealer, they usually leave the 320CDI badge on one side, then stick the Brabus on the other.

He's changed his mind. Apparently it now had V12 badges on it....

You got busted twice there, bud, you may as well change your post back

Pistonheads, Speed matters.

[McSam]

Indeed. The fact that I fked up in this thread as well but managed to change it in time is testament!

Make your mind up

Not all rebadging has to be bad, this one is quite clever.

That's a lot of effort to go through for a fairly piss poor gag though.

Currently trying to dig the photo out. Pretty sure I posted it on FB.

Found e photo.

I edited the post because I thought it was a 320CDI, but recalled it having V12 badges (on the flanks perhaps?).

Either way, I was wrong. It is, however, a Brabus badged 320CDI.

Not a good thread this, for me getting stuff right

Those exhausts, hahaha!!

I saw a 1.6 Mk4 Golf the other day with a Zetec badge on the back. No joke.

I think it's time I posted this again. It's not that clear, but the badge says "Cabriolet"!

I'm pretty sure you can get a Bentley image pack for the 300c.

I've seen a red Mitsi 3000GT with Ferrari stickers on.

[deltashad]

Shocking!


I've followed a car up the A9 exactly as you described. Did you see it in Scotland?

[HTP99]

Much like the guy, who I haven't seen for a while, round where I work with a Mercedes SL with SLR front bumper and headlight treatment.

[Leins]

I quite fancy doing some re-badging myself. AMGs from a few years ago are a prime candidate, so a C180 badge on a C43, or an E200 badge on a W124 E60. That's the way forward

[Rushmore]

What about minor rebadging, such as GT2 to GT3, or E500 to E400?

Yep, it might even have been a dealer option. In my neck of the woods it is rarer to see a 300c with a Chrysler badge, they all have the "Bentley Upgrade".
