Toyota Badges

[adilmon]

I need a second opinion: Does the TDCI Badge look out of place in the linked picture?

I purchased a couple of (expensive) D4D red/chrome badges from MR T and stuck one under each side repeater of my Charcoal Aygo sport. As is the fashion among the other toyota models.

Personally, i think they should've been on the vehicle in the first place, to distinguish it from the petrol models.

[bradburyss]

Perhaps they didn't want to distinguish the diesel from the petrol and seeing as it isn't a D4-D engine then it would be a bit of false advertising.

[adilmon]

Good point. However, Ford don't seem to have a problem with re-branding the HDI engine as TDCI, but then Ford have used this peugeot/citroen engine in more of their models than Toyota.

[bradburyss]

True but they did develop the engine along with PSA so that maybe why.

Yes looks a bit naff to me. I prefer cars with less badges/stickers, makes them look messy and cluttered.

he he . . yes debadged mine pretty soon after getting it.

It does leave a couple of holes so I covered them with some nice TRD emblems. The main thing is to get that huge Toyota 'T' off the rear glass - is it just me or is this Badge just way out of proportion with the rest of the car ?
