Fiddly badges make it hard to get it clean and waxed between the shapes of the letters.

Think of debadging as the brazillian of the car world.

And who doesn't like that?

Eddie135 · 02-23-2012, 04:02 PM

I debadge mine, looks cool and does not get in the way when I polish & wax the car.

I'm from Qld so technically you're the Mexican.

I think there was another M badge on the back.

Love the hand painted eyelids..lol

Eddie135 · 02-23-2012, 06:36 PM

Maybe, it has a V8 muscle engine in it. You never know.

quasio · 02-23-2012, 07:22 PM

All he needs now is a cat-back exhaust and he'll be pushing 300kw!

BMWRX · 02-23-2012, 08:16 PM

The hand/sparycan painted bonnet looks awesome. I mean, you can't get those lines and swirls with a fancy pants machine.

it's actually a factory option isn't it?

mine was debadged either way, before i even got it. good times with everyone thinking i'm in a 120i or something (or a general slow crappy hatchback) with a bigger exhaust ;D

Not really, mine came with the 135i Badge.
Debadge makes it look more cool on the road.

Yes. It is. It's called Model Designation Deletion and can be specified when doing a factory order.

You can also get the dealer to remove it if you're buying a car "off the lot".

Dr Stig 2 · 02-23-2012, 10:03 PM

Those matt colours are all the rage these days.
You're buggered though keeping them clean, especially wrt bug splatter.

If he was going to spend that much on the bespoke ///M Hyundai, maybe he should have bought a roll of glad wrap to make a car bras as well.
