Debadged - Page 5

Whenever I see a debadged car I think "It's had a bump and the body shop have not put the letters back on after spraying it yet".
Turned out to be the case when a friend bought a Rover with no badges on, it had been written off and repaired, yes you guessed it, at the rear.
I think I would hide the fact I owned a diesel (if I did) though, too much hate for those now.

I've never thought that to be honest, but may now.....

I just think it looks a lot cleaner with all the letters etc. gone. Tidied the back of my Astra up quite nicely so am planning on doing the same with the V50.

Could be worse: Mum used to own an MG Midget when I was a kid. We knew that had had work done because the decals down the side said 'Midget' on the passenger side and 'Migdet' on the drivers side.

I Sh!t you not....

Not much point you'd still hear it come chugging down the road like a tractor
