misbadging cars

[thetapeworm]

New to this topic do apologies if this has been here before but I saw a V8 "Hanover Edition" VW Beetle today. Seems like it's a bit special as the V8 has a really small displacement.

Possibly reduced engine size on the back of reduced mileage.

Definitely one of my favourite cars - The M3 Compact turbo diesel. Getting rare now

VW's Hannover factory is the home of Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge. I.e. it's a van factory.

If it was a one-off produced on the van production line, that might explain the specialised low-output V8...

Nicely fitted tuning box on the "M3"

Was being tailgated through a 30 road by an older 3 Series with aftermarket LED lights all over the front, we reached NSL, I accelerated and my diesel Astra left him for dead (he didn't like this but that's a different matter), anyway he caught up and of course had to overtake, it was badged as a 345d, which I have never heard of, I can't find any results on Google either, it was an e90 with a private plate so not sure what year. For my car to leave it for dead I would assume it was a 316d, I have a similar amount of power to a 318d so I doubt it was one of those and obviously nothing more powerful.

Borderline acceptable.

Quite understated I think you'll agree

That's outstanding!

I remember the amount of thought I put into considering a GTR badge on my (1.4i) Almera. Sadly never happened.

Apologies for the lack of photo but I was driving behind an exceptionally noisy (quad exhaust), lowered BMW. Complete on massive wheels, tinted glass and blasting tooones. Did a reg check and it came back as a 116i

Spotted possibly my favourite.

This guy skipped AMG and went straight for buying a;

Mercedes E250 McLaren CDI Convertible. Legend.

Of course he?she did. It was an insecure BMW driver, what else do you expect.

10/10 to the Micra owner for the equivalent to sticking two fingers up to those who get all huffy & judgemental about such things. Bet he/she added the badge just for that purpose & no doubt succeeded thus having the last laugh. Should have added an AMG badge as well but the MMicra works a treat.
