Debadge it or keep it on?

sirdaft1 · 10-26-2017, 10:54 PM

We sourced a 328i trunk lid to replace the CSL trunk we were running on the 335 track build. The replacement still has the 328i badging. Given that this is a full on 335 race car build, part of me thinks that it’s hilarious to keep the 328i badge and run it like that. Thoughts??

Keep the 328 badge or toss it??

bkwld · 10-26-2017, 11:06 PM

Keep it!

StevenY. · 10-26-2017, 11:13 PM

Keep it!

joeinsd · 10-27-2017, 12:03 AM

If this were a regular street car, I'd say no. But it being a full race car, I say keep it! ?

jeddo45 · 10-27-2017, 03:36 AM

Keep that sucker!

EB89 · 10-27-2017, 05:30 AM

De badge

CaddymanLNL · 10-27-2017, 06:48 AM

I voted before reading and realizing it was for irony, keep it.

dlf750 · 10-27-2017, 07:46 AM

318i badge

N52UNED · 10-27-2017, 10:28 AM

Keep it ... it'll make people go "WTF - nah that can't be right!" Regardless it'll make folks shake their heads.

Who would've though a 328i badge would make a BMW build seem that much cooler?

doru · 10-27-2017, 11:13 AM

Sleeper badge. Guy with Porsche would have no idea what just him....

Or throw everyone way off and throw a Ford Fiesta badge on it.
Or Yugo. Even better.

One of my friends has a lifted Jeep with a Hybrid emblem on the tailgate from a Toyota. He gets asked about the mpg constantly.

jt335i · 10-27-2017, 12:29 PM

If you keep the badge on, I am going to report you to BMW, the police, FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD, Secret Service, NORAD, US Armed forces, Delta Force, SEALs..... all for violating the US Government statute Title 49, Subtitle VI, Part A, anti-trust violations, trademark violations, etc, etc,.

Indyeah · 10-27-2017, 12:42 PM

Its funny for like 5 minutes but looks really out of place with the rest of the car. I say ditch it.
