Automotive Tat

[Baldchap]

My old K11 Micra shed came with a Playboy logo on the number plate and a disabled badge... So many questions...

Why is the M badge on the boot lid upside down. Unless W is short for something.

Proves my point really. I don't see an enthusiast there, just a knuckle dragger.

All that money spent on fake M3 tat could have paid for a larger engine.

It's cheap tat. It's some poorly made copy of a roundel that's had the colours changed. In isolation not the worst thing seen so far but it's a sure sign that the owner is deficient.

I remember Ford badges in colours other than blue were a big thing in the 90s - I was never sure if that was an aftermarket thing or if the colours had any significance. Anyone know?

Deficient in what? Adhering to your standards for how to live?

I bought a set of JDM wheel caps for my MR2.

Does that count as tat?




If so...




... I'm keeping them anyway

Now I know what MR2 stands for I'm wondering if I should get some "Longship Runabout" ones made up for my (Rover) MG TF

I know it's tat - makes me chuckle though

I've seen it a couple of times to match the cars colour.

I think I need one of those for my Challenger.

I had red Ford badges on my blue Mondeo ST as I thought they complimented the red detailing elsewhere on the car, I also had black and grey roundels on my e46 as I thought they looked better against the black paintwork. I must be deficient, in what I don't know?

I think it's a real M3, isn't it? Just with lots of extra badges.

No, it’s a two litre four pot according to the tax checker.

Your intolerance and "ability" to judge people on such trivial stuff is a sure sign that you are deficient

I personally don't like that badge either and I will admit that I am quite tolerant to other people's taste on subjective matters like colour etc...

Bloody hell, that's a lot of fake m3 bits then!

The tatty wheels and rear arches gave it away. Even though it's all fake it still costs quite a bit, the wings and bonnet alone would have covered the cost of upgrading to a 330 or 335.
