I saw a brand new 09 plate 320d coupe last week with an M badge on.

I could just imagine the saddo stood in the showroom saying "Well I want that one, but I can't afford it so can you stick the badge on this one"

He could have bought a used M3 for the price of the 320d. But I guess he wouldn't have the 09 plate then !

One of the girls I work with has a 323 with M badges stuck on it. The red colouring has faded in the sun, and they're wonky as well.

Can't be any worse than sticking red H's on an S2000.
Red H's come standard on a NFR S2000.. I think it would be more inappropriate to put a Type R badge on an S2k!

Maybe it was M Sport 320d, they have the badges on if only small ones somewhere on the body. Nothing wrong in that if its got the M kit on. Only wrong if it has no M kit or its an overly large M or M3 badge..

I think "Vectra CDTi SRi" might fit well!

I wonder if someone has stuck Lexus badges on their sewing machine yet?

Or made an Acura Cub?

Whatever you do, stick a Nurburgring sticker on it - will guarantee you 'Cred'

Or you could do a repeat of that anal tard from the "Wash'n'Wax" forum and spend 17 years removing the excess glue from the tail light sound deadening with some cotton wool covered tweezers.
