Saw a hilarious mis-badging today.

[missing the VR6]

Leaving work today in Ashford (Kent) and happened upon a very funny sight, a Silver 03 plate Polo proudly sporting an RS6 badge on the back and S-Line stickers on the rub strips!
I guess it's possible to shoehorn some sort of RS lump in it but it certainly didn't appear to be more than a standard Polo with some wheels, gut feeling it was a diesel sport one.
Rather boring post just tickled me and thought I'd share.

Saw a 316i compact with a 316 badge on the right of the boot but with a spoiler on and an M3 badge on the left hand side, can't even be bothered to take the 316 badge off lol

I did want to put something along the lines of I'm assuming he wants the Imagine but didn't know it was still PC to do so!

Ashford does serve up a heady mix of awful cars!

I've seen a re-mapped 335D with an MX5 Engine in the rear, painted in many different shades of Audi S-Line grey.

The numberplate was OXO, he was escaping the police after nuking Plymouth from orbit.

Etc..

Iv seen a basic 1.4 Skoda Octavia with Type R badges from a Honda.

Its exactly this sort of thing that makes me so angry I could punch a cyclist.

Why risk hurting your knuckles when you can chuck a can of red bull at them?

Saw an M3 badge on a run of the mill E90 318i which I thought looked really bizarre!

It had a really naff round font and miscoloured stripes with the original marque left on next to it.

Weird

On the melksham bypass I was once following a Peugeot 206 Type R 16v Sport. I failed to notice this until I was at a roundabout and was behind this vehicle. At which point myself and some friends were all pointing and laughing, the driver did notice this and made a rather spirited entrance into the roundabout... It must have been a 1.0L or something, as it made all this noise by barely moved.. This didn't help his situation at all, as I laughed even more.

Make sure there are no humpback bridges around. For added effect you could ask the cyclist why he doesn't pay road tax

The sad thing is you can walk into your local Halfords, head for the Wicked Ripspeed section and buy most of these badges off the shelf.

That's worth knowing. Considering some S line upgrades myself, but not really happy about paying the premium that a main Audi dealer would charge.

[Asterix]

We get lots of Toyotas with 'Type R' stickers...

[carl0s]

That's nothing! There was an E36 3-series here (probably a 318i), with a combination of Lamborghini, M3, and something else that I can't remember badges on the back of it. I did get a photo but I think it's on an old phone.

Frankly, who gives a st? Maybe these people are just bring ironic, or having a bit of harmless fun.

Jesus, some of the up itself bks that is spouted in GG is truly pathetic.
