Oh...I wouldn't have known, so the misbadging would have been lost on me.

Well I'm glad I could help you !

No problem.

SUVs are kind of off my radar, so the misbadge didn't stand out to me or impress me either way.

Spotted today in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

I'm missing something I think...or maybe my eyes aren't good enough?

That isn't a Range Rover...

Its a LR Discovery Sport

It's also tragic.

Genuinely, I assume the non suspecting bought that used.

I agree it is tragic though.

There’s a C220 CDI AMG with 4 exhaust pipes on my route to gym. Next time I spot the bigger I’ll sneak a picture.

It has 2 proper exhaust pipes, then 2 stuck on cut outs by the looks of it.

I know a lad who is a mate of a mate who has a C180 that he has badged up as an AMG, fitted the body kit, exhausts etc.

Hes been banned twice and also seems to get daily parking tickets.

My neighbour across the road has similar. E class diesel fully badged up as an E63 AMG, only single exhaust though.

You can buy three cylinder diesel BMWs with M badging applied at the factory!

Pretty much all manufacturers do this though - M sport, R line, R design, S line, AMG line, N line, GT etc etc.

No AMG badges on it, thankfully, but my E250 diesel is on the logbook as an AMG sport after the 250 cdi. No idea why other than a marketing ploy.

There used to be a 520d up the road that was being slowly turned into an M5 lookalike and driven by the sort of bell-end you would expect to do that.

It got a clamp for non-payment of VED and was driving around without an MOT. Priorities. Spunk all your money on definitely not stolen M5 accoutrements, don't waste it on frivolities like MOT and Tax.
