misbadging cars
Discussion
This might make some people laugh.
A long long time ago some students had a magical bag of silver C’s that could be stuck on fiat puntos if for example the “P” had fallen off.
Being good citizens they handily stuck the c where the p had fallen off. This way the vehicle was recognisable to other road users.
I’m not sure if that would fall under correcting misbadging ?

t stories?Does putting cheap old VW alloys with decent winter tyres on a seat count? I hope if anybody noticed they realise what’s done and don’t think I aspire to a VW so bought 16” wheels ??
I’d get some SEAT centre caps but they don’t come in that size
As a side note there’s a Leon FR 1.4 same as mine at work with Cupra badges, there’s another debadged with a quad exhaust and a 2.0TDI S5. All mid 50’s blokes, sad really

I keep seeing this car and thought it was a very early electric prototype model disguised as a Hyundai. Not the case I'm afraid.
I'll take a guess that they regularly park in electric only bays and hope that, as they've badged the car up, people who know little about cars will assume it's a Tesla and ignore the fact it's parked where it shouldn't be*- someone tried similar with a blinged up RRS locally last year. Reeled out the charging point and then wedged it underneath the rear bumper in some weird attempt to fool people into thinking it was parked legally and was an electric
It didn't work as when i walked back into the car park later on, it had gained a nice big warning sticker over the windscreen right in the field of vision and a parking ticket too

Badge says 3.7 Hemi but it's a 2.0 litre diesel
These are the ones that really tickle me as it's a prime example of a badge that (in the UK) unlike M an AMG is likely to only be recognised by car enthusiasts so by fitting it you're setting yourself up to look like a prat if anyone actually does take an interest in it. Has to be said i do find it funny when you hear people talking about HEMIs without really knowing if it's the car name/engine/part of engine.
