misbadging cars

[Killer2005]

Didn't have time to take a picture, but passed a Corsa 1.2 Type R yesterday. The young chap driving even had his gangster lean on

Got rescued by a lada niva fully badged as a ford once .

Was competing on a rally and got stuck. Daft thing is, the niva was impressive enough not to need the fake badges.

You have to wonder what the thought process is behind doing something like that.

Followed a Rover 75 estate into my industrial estate this morning and it had what looked like a VW TDi badge on the back of it. I thought BMW had made the engines for the 75???

Knows fk all about cars but has maybe seen Brabus on a Merc driving around and wanted to copy?

Or maybe he'd heard about Brabus in relation to this : http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/land-rover/range-rove...

Didn't have my phone with me to take a picture, but walked past a Peugeot moped parked up in Aberdeen last weekend, which had a chrome V6 badge on it. Has to be a misbadge, nobody's powering mopeds with 125cc V6s, Shirley?

Last night some "specimen" had parked a 535 across my gates. Bad enough parking across my gates, but why badge it up with several eBay special "Msport" and "Racing" badges. It certainly seemed to be a legit 535, so a perfectly good car anyway?

I don't think they are, but if so I really, really want one.

Wasn't aware of that car, you're most probably right

My old Nissan Micra S GTR



The badge was a joke secret Santa from a colleague, so would have been rude not to fit it, and it hid some badly done body filler by the previous owner.

Seen two Coopers badged up as Ss lately...

Both had single exhausts, no bumper cutout for the original centre exhaust...

One was a very clean convertible, driven sedately so I doubt it was modified...

The other was a ropy looking one, with a badly fitting JCW aerokit, so could be modified...

Either way, they look a bit daft...

Wow, that must be Brendan Rodgers' car!

No picture as it was behind me,
Polo 6n2 with the 16v script badge off a Saxo stuck on the grill

Saw an E60 520d the other day with a V12 badge on it, need to find it again so I can take the piss.
