I saw this RS Kia people carrier in Edinburgh. Nasty!

I find this funny, and don't have a problem with it, assuming that the owner / affixer meant it in a comedy way.

That would apply to the vast majority of misbadging photos on this thread though! I doubt many are meant in a comedy way unfortunately!

It's not always the owners who mis-badge their cars.......sometimes the manufacturers are guilty:

He loves his badges doesn't he?

I reckon he wears a BMW branded polo shirt, a white BMW shell suit and a BMW baseball cap...

Once the Beemer goes I'm looking forward to a Mercedes M///C63 AMG Sport Bruv Innit Edition.

Not an Ypsilon,looks like a Delta.

[Barchettaman]

Neighbour has a Delta here in. Frankfurt, nice wee thing, like a stretch Fiat Brava.

Indeed it's a Delta, Ypsilon is smaller, based on a Panda I think. Driven a couple of Ypsilons and been very impressed, nice little cars. The Delta hasn't sold well in the UK and now it's a discontinued model, shame as it's a damn sight more interesting than a Golf/1 series/A3 etc

but very ugly.

Seen this a couple of times before but finally had a chance to get a photo today, this supercharged RS 3 series lurks in Harrogate.

And racing stripes to boot. All in all, a massive crime against taste.

haha no way! that is my work mates car! I've mentioned the badges a few times but he finds it funny, I believe they were on when he bought the car

I'm guessing you work on the same industrial park as us


ETA: In person I don't hate the stripes, it's something different from the norm and each to their own

[BrabusMog]

Could do with someone rubbing a wet, soapy sponge over it! White cars look awful when dirty.

I saw the car parked up outside the Co-Op at lunch, seen it there a few times but never had a chance to grab a photo.

I work in the offices that are opposite Covance, where abouts do you work?

In Central House?

We used to be there up until December 2013 when we moved over to Cardale Court (Other side of the new police station)

Nope, although I can see central house from my office window, our offices are the other side of Central House car park, so if you see a Le Mans Blue 07 plate 3 series coupe about, that'll probably be me, got my new wheels(M3 GTS-ish style) going on this weekend, so should stand out a little more (I don't drive the cool cars til summer ).
