Hey, it's a free world... the dealership where a friend works has a 
demonstrator A3 TDI 130 hp on 17" TT alloys sporting an 'RS3' badge.

I go for either debadging or 'downbadging' my cars myself.

PS Saw a really bad rebadging job recently: guy in a base-model A4 with 
mudflaps, had replaced the 'A' of the 'A4' badge with the 'S' from an 80 
1.8S. Errr... who are you fooling?
