Yo peeps, would anyone object to me de-badging the car, taking away the purity or whatever. I bodged a mock up in paint, I think it looks pretty shibby!,

:lol:

It's your car, you can do what you like to it :wink:

Personally I wouldn't as it's a brand to be proud of really. Makes the front end of the car look a little "bare" too.

debadging looks odd on a lot of cars but looks ok on the front of an e30 (debadged bootlids look v.odd!)

go for it i reckon!

I agree. Never thought of debadging the front of the car but looks alright actually! Although I probably wouldn't do it to mine to be honest.
