Cars with fake badges

[Wayne]

I saw a Toyota iQ with an Aston Martin badge on 

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.

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

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

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 


Only joking

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

Casting Bait .

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
