But is it an M-Sport?

True and to be honest the rear one looks ok. Not a fan of them on the grill though, personal preference i suppose

I'm thinking about putting a V8 or V12 badge on my new 1.0 litre shed. Partly for the comedy effect but mainly to pish off the hoity toity tutters on PH.

I DID take that sort of route putting a red 'R' badge on the boot & in the radiator intake of my Honda S2000. At Honda meets & some car shows had a chuckle as the irritated & annoyed strolled by huffing & puffing with indignation. They never knew I was laughing at them.

I removed it. Technically it's correctly badged as you pointed out.... So on reflection not a good fit for misbadged cars thread

Saw a BMW today with 335d badges on it.

Except it wasn't. The badges were all poorly spaced and the d wasn't straight. It had one exhaust and the worlds smallest alloys.

I saw a while new level of misbadging the other day - a previous generation Ford Mondeo, with the ford badge on the front grille replaced with the big chrome galloping horse motif from a Mustang. Christ knows who he thought he was fooling.....

Some sort of gaffer tape, silver painted homemade Mazda badge on a VW Bora spotted today

Parked outside Halfords, no doubt looking for more chav tat.

There is nothing wrong with the 1.9 diesel badge, but the BMW badge is.

[Parabola]

I wonder if she knows the connection?

Most cars with AMG badges do at least have AMG wheels. The only thing AMG about this car is the badge as far as I could see.

They couldnt even get the SLK 320 Badge in the correct place.

Sorry for the poor quality picture, came off the dash cam. A Kuga Type R

[AlexRS2782]

Sadly no picture, but there was an E46 320d in Guildford town centre this afternoon that had been badged up as an //M, TypeR, Turbo, Supercharged, Hybrid, Cooper S Works, Limited Edition

Which is impressive as it actually is a 320

[DickyC]

No one drove by at just the right moment to illuminate the car they were on.



An A4.

Spotted another sneaky diesel powered M3 a minute ago:
