In the past I have had some fun winding up others with such badge malarky.
Once had a boss who as a little man was very up himself who loved having nice company cars to impress others. He had a 2 litre Vauxhall Carlton GLS automatic (flipping big deal) which he thought was the dogs danglies, but I learnt he was piised off that he could not get his colour of choice metallic Westminster Blue and got lumbered with a dreary metallic dark grey almost black - he hated the colour. At this time I had ordered my company car a 1.8 litre GL Carlton in Westminster Blue. One day I obtained a GLS sticker and a 2 litre badge and stuck them on my car and whenever possible parked it alongside his car in the office car park. Apparently to the amusement of most of the employees who were in on my scam, the sad prat got himself into a hell of a lather thinking that a junior staff member had got the same car as he AND in the colour he wanted. When he did eventually realise I had taken the **** he just wrote me off as a sad ****** trying to make my car better by virtue of a badge, trouble was he did not know that I knew he had got himself so childishly irritated.
My silly badges were removed I promise you.
More recently when owning a Honda S2000 I realised that many owners on the Forum got very angry, nay cross that some S2000 owners were fitting R badges on the bootlid and in the grille opening and replacing the silver H bonnet and boot badges with red ones, all to emulate that honda might have produced an R version as they did the Civic. What amused me was the judgemental attitude that came acrross as so rude. Yes you've guessed it, I fitted R and red badges and ****** 'em off when showing the car at various car shows. The R badges came off after a while but I left the red H badges as they did look good on the black car.
My 'S-Line' Audi A3 is a genuine 'S-Line' honest, but the boot has been de-badged of the A3 and 2.0 FSI badges,or whatever they were, replaced with one 'S-Line' badge as per front wings.
