Saw a standard Yaris yesterday badged up as a GR.

GR Sport. Trim level.

Didn't realise they were a thing, but unless the GR badging had been moved about, I don't think it was one of those.

I've seen them in a dealership with GR badges where the GR Sport badges should be. Seems to me they just stick on whatever they've got.

Why’d you put a Nissan badge on it?!

Took me a second to notice, but that says "Range Roger" doesn't it? I hope that's been done as a joke.

Enough space for ‘Strange Roger’.

Does a Renault Mary Kay count?

My wife has a Mini Countryman. I wanted to remove the O and respace the remaining letters but I'm not allowed as apparently that would be immature

I've seen some chavvy car things in my time, but that, well that may be the chavviest car thing I have ever seen.

O, R and possibly the Y for added funny.

That's a shame as those ones with the PD150 engine are actually a brilliant car

I’m not sure if this makes the £4,500 I paid for a car that’s three year older and with 100,000 fewer miles on the clock (and a slightly more powerful engine) good value or not? But at least I can be optimistic it’s got a few years more life in it!!

This one really annoyed me purely because they even bought the reg plate:
