I saw a John Cooper Works badge on a non works car. It looked good but is this taboo. Like a fake Rolex maybe. What do you think?

To each there own, I took the badge off the back of mine.
How do you know it wasn't a Works mini? The badges aren't cheap, it better look really good.

Agree!!

I was debating the same thing. I have a JCW badge. Was thinking about putting it on the grill.. But then I don't think the JCW is all that impressive compared to getting after market things.

I dont like to fake the funk.

While I'm budgeting for my new stroker would it be wrong to put an RMW sticker on our car?

I thought about stealing one of the "5.9 R/T" badges off my Durango before I sold it. There is a perfect blank spot just above the MINI badge on the left rear door of my Clubman.

I've seen some (even on this forum) put M badges on their MINIs --- that's as bad or worse.

Actually, breast implants are "real" (something you can get your hands on) -- this is more like wearing a padded bra . . . or a guy wearing a wig and dress -- truly false advertising.
