So @Rutgergr, so are you ready to slap a VW logo and PHAETON badge on your Taycan? Or perhaps a WV ID.XXX badge on it, or if you really want to freak people out a "HYUNDAI PROHPECY III" badges, or a "Toyota FT-se4". Or, if you just want to closer to the truth but give people something to scratch their heads about, put on "Audi eTron GT Avant" on it, since your car is in a way what it would be.

I like my GTS badge, it helps distinguish it from all of the 4Ss around here ;)

Back in the UK it was really common for the boys who could just scrape enough money together for a Beemer 318 to debadge them, so that tends to colour my outlook.

Funny, I like the 4s badge (and red calibers) since here in NL people either have RWD or Turbo S.

Out of sincere curiosity; how do the deleters determine where to stop?
Rear type badge; Allrighty i get it, but what’s next? Porsche lettering on the back? Porsche badge on the rims? Porsche badge on the front? Porsche badge on the steering wheel? Rear windscreen wiper?

edit: this sounds retorical, but it’s not! I would like to know what parts would be deleted by a deleter ;)
Debadge the rear, replaced wheel center caps with solid carbon fiber (no crest), replaced hood ornament with Turbonite version.

@Rutgergr nice car! Enjoy it.

Normally I always (1) debadge my cars (2) remove the license plate holder with dealer name on it for a clean one and (3) have luxury plates.

For some reason however I never removed Taycan from the car. Thought about it, but I like it, especially as it is glossy black and my car has all the gloss black details.

Think I'm gonna leave it without the badge for now... like the clean look. And as the wife said, why pay 260 euros to put a fancy sticker back on that has just been taken off...

Badge removed for PPF installation and decided to leave it off. Its just easier for me to wash without cleaning around the badge. I'm lazy...

True. Hence the three Michelin star restaurant don't call themselves "fast" food. ;)
Glad the Taycan is faster round the nurburgring than any Tesla.. ;-)
