:lol:

Yes, the badges have all fallen off (with a bit of help from a hairdryer)


DEViANCE

lol confused me with the title. looks good, i woulg have kept the bigun in the middle personally.

snellgrove

twere the last one to go, but in the end I decided it had to ;)

new springs next, I think....  :) and maybe dampers if I am still not satisfied with the bodyroll situation.

and then strut-bracing if I am still not satisfied after that.

suspension is easily the weakest point in the cars performance - mind you, it is quite comfortable :lol: thats the trade off though, huh.

Before shot looks better IMO  :shock:

Can I just ask for my own sanity and the benefit of none ricers globally:

WTF is the point? Ashamed its a Yaris?  :lol:

I could understand debadging my Clio, so no one would recognise how crap it really is and how small an engine it has.

looks cleaner without them tbfh

could do with loosing the sticker in the rear window to tho ;)

darn right..  yes indeedy, off it comes tomorrow I think :)

@ Nige..  not at all. I am very happy driving something thats not a saxo / other common-or-garden small-car.

I saw pics on the toyota owners club and they look cleaner...  I wanted. so I now have.

I must say, I dont usually like the de-badged look but I think it suits Yarii as it has a small tailgate & bits that stick out in the bumper. I think de-badged cars look wrong when they are completely featureless. :)

Debadging is good on bikes, cars, and anything else you can remove logos and brand naming from. Hell, I debadge the aspirin bottle at home. :lol:

You know what kind of car you have, so why have the stupid logos? Its not like I walk around with pants that have a chrome badge stating the fabric content and waist size. :lol:

Opposite ends of the spectrum I guess.

I just see no need in changing the original fabrication of the car in such a way, it must affect resale value too I would have thought. Would anyone debadge a Mercedes, or even a Ferrari? :mrgreen:

snellgrove

Ferraris dont have 5 badges on the back..  ;) more like 2.

they look pretty clean enough as standard!

I bet Chuck Norris debadges his Ferrari. :D Then rebadges it with a picture of himself. Better yet, he stares at the badge long enough and through his anger, reforms the enamels in his own image. :D
