Heya there guys, I'm pretty new to the forum (Ive been a lurker for a while however) so first thigns first id like to say hi.
Anyways on with the topic, i know all of you guys hate people badging up 318i's as M3's and 1.9tdi A4's as RS4's but ive noticed recently people putting tacky halfords badges on their cars such as saxos with 16v or 'supercharged' badges plastered all over the bootlid. Another example that i saw yesterday was a tdi passat with a Porsche 'turbo' badge across the boot.
I was just wondering what your thoughts on this are or if you have any funny examples?

Im all in favour of reverse badging however i was referring more to just 'wrong' badging such as the 911 turbo badge on the back of a passat tdi or maybe a V8 badge on a corsa.

As the OP for this thread i feel it is my duty to let you all know that i have just bought a standard e30 318is (lovely car), there is one problem however.......it has a M// badge on the boot frown. Need to remove that sharpish.
