Hey guys. Today I saw a Citroen Jumpy with a Volkswagen badge on the back and was wondering what is the funniest fake badging anyone has ever seen, or photographed? Unfortunately I didn't get a photo, but I have added some from Google searching it.

Golf badge on a mk3!
Well you asked :grin:

Saw an X5 where the owner had put a M badge on it. Problem was it read 'MX5'!
Seen Smart cars with Merc badges on them as well.

I saw a Toyota iQ with an Aston Martin badge on :huh:

That's because Aston gave them away free with cars :smiley: or you could buy one for about 35000

Was it this car: http://www.astonmartin.com/cars/aston-martin-cygnet

Used to be a merc clk convertible near my old house with M power badges.

Aston Martin 'built' that car in order to bring the average emissions of the cars they produced down, or to reduce their carbon footprint. Something like that anyway.

So you are paying £25k extra for leather interior and a fancy paint job :shocked:

Correct :smiley: but it has now been axed due to poor sales.

If you can afford to buy and run a new Aston Martin, £35k for a run around just for the hell of it will be pocket money. Properly rich people live in a totally different world to the rest of us.

Surely sticking porsche handles on golfs is just as bad as the silly badging going on?

Controversial! It would also mean a fair few cars in the scene are fake!

not really, labeling a low spec mk4 1.4 as a gti is completely different to putting a set of porsche handles on. noone goes oh look at that car it looks like a mk4 golf but it has porsche handles therefore must be a porsche. however people may think ah look at that mk4 it has a gti badge therefore it must be a gti. (i know things like c/c rub strips etc give it away to people in the know but you get the idea.)
or labeliing a low spec bmw as a m3 etc etc etc.

I don't see that there is anything wrong with badging a car.
There's nothing wrong with my M3 M5 M6 RS XR ST turbo nutter ninja GTI :evil:
Only joking :smiley:

This.
And Porsche wheels, especially - they're not the right fitment and probably aren't that light either.
Utter dicks.
It's a shopping car, not a sports car. If you want a proper Porsche sports car with Porsche badges on it, there's a really easy solution - BUY A PORSCHE you wannabe knobber.

This will upset a few people, just sit back and wait for the slanging match to commence :grin:
-
Casting Bait :grin:.
See a few non 'M' BMW's with 'M' badges which is a bit sad. TBH I reckon most people that do this don't actually understand what an 'M' is, they just think the badge adds kudos.
-
as long as you down badge it's fine 316 badges on a 325 = ok 316 badges on an M3 = better
upbadge and your gay.
use badges from the wronge marque and well . call the fireing squad
-
Why down grade? De-badge. Upgrading should be punishable by loss of driving license!
-
Always makes me laugh knowing someone has gone and spent money to put a badge on the doesn't make go with the others seen a GTI blue motion on the M5 the other week, a VXR astra van that said 1.9 next to it or even better cars that have the type r badge bought from Halfords on corsa's and other 17 year old boy racers.... surely when they are buying and sticking those badges on it must cross their mind "this looks like s"!t"
-
No because they're 17 and their brains haven't developed yet.
-
They need something to show their mates in the Tesco car park at 1am, I look at them now and im so glad that I never when through that phase!!
-
Me too.

Reminds me of the Confused ad on tv. "Hello local youth......... I can save you money on insuring your sensible 1.1 litre hatchback" :grin:

how can you avoid going through that phase? its near impossible to get from 16 to 18 without been 17 for the year between :huh:
-
Not passing until 23 helps I reckon. But that's just me :grin:
-
hey come to mention it I didn't pass until 2 days after my 18th :rolleyes:
-
I can think of better things to do than sit in a car park. Pubs for example :smiley:

Same, the appeal was well and truly lost on me :grin:.
