A waste of money and it looks crap.
Rant over. You worry about yourself before you worry about others

I may have to debadge the C-Max that I've just bought as I noticed this evening that the i in Titanium is missing and the other badges are a bit grubby. I did debadge a VXR8 a couple of years ago because 1. It looked much cleaner 2. It said Vauxhall but it was really an Holden 3. It was funny seeing peoples faces trying to work out why a normalish looking large saloon car would make the noise it did (6.2L V8 with Wortec exhaust) and not knowing what it was. |

Debadging always seemed popular with owners of lesser German vehicles, those who didn't want others seeing they only had a BMW 520i, not a 525i, etc. Of course, like Beaker's mate, it could work the opposite way at the traffic light Grand Prix! |

I've debadged a couple of cars over the years. Mainly for a "Surprise" to people. My old Mk2 Astra Belmont LXi was an SRi with an estate back. Badges came off it when I resprayed it, and never got put back on. A Mate has a 335d, and that's been debadged so people think it's a 318. I CAN see the point, but it depends entirely on the car itself. On the flip side, a friend has an Escort with a 2.9 Twin Turbo under the hood, and that still says "Escort LX 1.6". |
