. I guess they'll double as driving shoes for track days as well :wink:
We unfortunately have a car that came fitted with certain parts that have the M logo on them as part of the styling of the car. Only ones on the outside are on the wheels though.
Not much we can do about it but I too dont understand people who go out of their way to add badges that dont go with the car.
Ones I personally dont understand is Nurburgring stickers on the back of 1.0L Corsas etc.
Or all the parts suppliers listed down the wing that you just know are not fitted to the car.

I’m not a fan of badging something it’s not but feel that bumpers are fine to swap. It’s like having a pre face lift and getting rid of all the amber lenses and swapping to a face lift bumper and tails. Besides going with a M rear bumper gives a great excuse to fit a quad.
Now not to hijack a thread but should I debage the 2.5i and put the ESS badge that I have in its place? Been wondering if I should or keep it sleeper looking.

OK, I'll admit to my first car (or rust-bucket) being a MK2 Cortina 1500. 
It had vinyl seats, rubber mats and a small pond in the N/S/R passenger footwell (drained by taking the rubber bung out of the floor-pan)!
Got some banded 6.5 inch rims - lovely - but as it had a 1600E dash I had to enhance it's performance with some GT badges for the back panel and rear wings which cost me £2.50 IIRC!
After wobbling about in the wind getting them off the top car in the pile of 3! Health and Safety - what is that then? :laugh:
But the car just got slower - not really surprising as it was sh*gged in the first place!
