Tailgate badges ..... opinions - Page 2

Our V40 has the de-badge option from factory. However, only the D4 was removed. The model name is still on there. Personally I prefer to de-badge cars as it gives a nice clean look at the rear, if it suits the car.

Sorry to go a little off piste but my god the orange peel on the boot of the BMW in comparison with the Volvo! Madness.

It looks decent without the badging I must admit, strange we don't have such an option in the UK from Volvo (many other manufacturers do).

Such a shame that you cannot resolve that on BMW's (owing to it being in the primer layer, well without total respray).

I'd always assume that anyone with a 3 series BMW lacking a badge is hiding the 316d engine...

Really don't see the point personally.
