B for billy bullstter?

No pic as I was driving, but I saw a stretched Chrysler 300C last weekend that was festooned with the Bentley "B".

I really hope the person advertising their limo services wasn't advertising it as a Bentley :/

Was following an E46 325i which had an M3 badge earlier, But the driver hadn't bothered to remove the 325i badge.

Pointless really.

FFS - regardless of their taste (or lack of) surely if you're going to do that, you'd at least get them even / aligned, etc

Some corkers here. I once spotted a MK7 Fiesta Zetec with Halfords own-brand RS badges on the boot. Wish I'd got a pic

Crappy photo but this was badged as an M5



Saw this one on the North Circular today, illegal plate, illegal tints and with MPower badge and V8 on the wings

Not misbadged as such... Subtle enough?

And not put on upside down.

Correct. Traditionally horseshoes are hung U fashion to stop the good luck from falling out.

Seen a 14 plate Merc C250 cdi saloon badged as an CLK250 cdi in the works car park today... very odd

Sure it wasn't a CLA250? Easy mistake to make at a glance I suppose

Only in the UK, virtually the rest of the world have them 'n' to stop the luck from floating out.

Good solid British luck is what is required here.

No picture unfortunately, but the other day I saw a red Mk 1 Renault Megane convertible with Ferrari prancing horse badges. At least he'd tried to put them roughly where they would have been on a real Ferrari.

Saw a C-Class estate yesterday with a Brabus badge on the back. It only had one exhaust pipe though so I'm guessing it was a C200 CDI or something.

Grim.

The 4-wheeled taxi of choice here is a Hyundai Santro. A hateful little Koreabox.

Virtually all have some sort of mis-badging on them, from "4x4" to "Volvo" to full on "Jaguar" badging including door writing and the leaping cat on the bonnet and boot. It's tragic.

One I saw yesterday: the SLK200 V8 !

Sorry but I do believe that's the SLK200 ESP V8. Don't forget the ESP, it's important you know.
