Should I ‘ironic-badge’ my MG Hector?

This post has now once again motivated me to get that badge printed

Baojun Badge looks more cooler and perhaps Authentic than the paid for MG badge. Please do get the complete Lettering of all the badges/ logos. Go go go...

Amazing idea, really got a chuckle out of it. Love it! Typically the badges I see on the road are the BMW M colors and logo stuck to a Maruti, Tempo traveller with the 3 pointed star etc. And don't get me started on what all they put on Chennai autos. But all of them give a poser vibe.

Yours though is both hilarious and head scratching. If you remove the MG logos I am sure a few people will get confused. If I see either of those badges, I might stop and ask, won't think someone would pimp there ride like that. And you should totally reply with a straight face that 'it's because of the chip shortage, they had to give me this one instead of the Hector.

Few years back I saw a Chevrolet Forester being rebadged as Subaru Forester. Even the steering wheel was rebadged. It actually looked pretty cool!

Wow, that genuinely sounds like a great idea. I’m a huge fan of these rebadge jobs that effectively ‘reverse-rebadge’ the car

Could do a BMW badge for the rear of the city. Front can remain Honda.
