I've noticed that sometimes clean shaven leads to randomquickness.

Remember all the fools in the early to mid 90s that wore their jeans hanging half way off their ass and their underwear sticking 3 inches up over their pants, a la Marky Mark? Those dumb asses most have all grown up and decided to start taking the badges off their cars.

Every decade there's sure to be another retarded trend that spreads like wildfire. What ever happened to baby Daytons and wheel spacers? 10 years ago, you couldn't beat wiggers out of that stupid crap with a Louisville slugger. And debadging is every bit as stupid.
Did you ever think some people may just want the "clean look." I don't think I heard anyone mention how debadgeing is actually improving the vehicle performance wise, that is your assumption. Learn not to jump to conclusions and that others may have different taste then you. It's alright to have a different opinion no need to stereotype and name call.

LOL +1. Seriously though, I hadn't given debadging a thought until I saw this thread. It is now 1st on my to-do list once I get my 1er home.

What's the purpose of de-badging?

--It's almost as bad as people putting M badges on a non-M car
Badge-Delete is a normal Porsche option. Why does anybody need a badge to say Boxster, Cayman, 911 or Carrera, when it is obvious. It is just somewhere else where it is difficult to wax.

In Europe most high end cars don't have badge numbers and it has nothing to do with Marky Mark or low riding jeans, lol.

I say go ahead and badge or debadge; it's your choice, your 1 and no-one else's.

Debadging the vert was an excellent choice... And even the coupe. Why? The back of the 1 is too small. Adding the tiny badge makes it look cluttered, a definite afterthought. Sure, her car says 135 but on my very, the rear just looks slick and sexy. See the pics in this thread.
