Funny C-Class badging
As many of you know there are many people out there putting AMG bagding on their non-AMG cars, and yes there have been many debates about that.
Now if you think that's bad yesterday i was driving on olympic in West L.A. and i saw a white C coupe, and the back read this:
CLK 32 K MP ESS R
Yes the Kompressor was really messed up... i nearly threw up out the window when i saw that.
Any of you guys seens stuff that can top that
?

all Kompressor means is supercharger. There are still people out there that think "Kompressor" is the name of the car.
granted it's German, and Toyota is Japanese, so maybe some Japanese character badging that translates to superchargeR.

funniest badge i've seen on MB was a SL500 badged SL55. How did I know? because it wasn't even a sport pkg w/ AMG kits. There was also this 05 C230k I saw at a gas station with the BRABUS badge on the trunk, but the car was completely stock as they come w/ the exception of clear bumper marker.

but yeah I took a black permanent marker and drew a BMW roundel on my friends trashed-out $200 1984 Toyota Celica GT that doesnt even run currently. I'm thinking about buying a set of lexus badges for him, though.

I saw an E320 badged as an E55 AMG. The ***** in the car gave me a dirty look and we I had to show her what the real thing looks ike. She slowed down after she saw the 4 exhaust pipes in front of her lol.
I also saw a new Camry badged as a ES330. People will do anything these days to get some attention.

I see that a lotta people are trying to incease the "worth" of their cars with funny badging. Toyotas putting lorinser badges n such.
But has there ever been a mercedes/bmw owner that tried ti increase the worth by putting on ferrari and lambo badges :p ?
