Guys

I am finally getting around to sorting out a deep scratch and dent in my 2004 Cayenne Turbo tailgate right next to the Cayenne turbo badge. This means the existing badge must be removed and my bodyshop recommended that I do not reuse the old badges as they will not sit right.

So, I have purchased new badges from Porsche but these come as a set with the badges Cayenne, turbo and S. I presume this is to allow all the combinations of Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne turbo and Cayenne turbo S.

My question is, do I just replace the Cayenne turbo as per factory or do I take this opportunity to re-badge it as Cayenne turbo S ? Just seems a shame to waste the S badge.

 

Personally I would leave off all badges. But if you do rebadge it don't try and make it w\hat it isn't. Tacky IMO.

 

if you put an S badge on...you might just as well tell people your 5 years younger (like my wife ), and earn $200,000 more than you do.

you will only be kidding yourself.

bin the factory badge and get a nice PORSCHE logo in a contrasting colour (ebay etc)

your choice sir.

 

put the factory set up back on. Its so sad that some people have to lie to make themselves feel better. I am not referring to you in this case, but if you did put the S, you essentially would fit in that category.

 

That's a big no-no, not for a high end car like yours.

 

i think there is a strong feeling about this.
not only is it kidding yourself (et al)
but it angers those who have paid a primium to get a turbo S, and for people to "try and copy" or blag it, deminishes there cars.

i have looked at BMW M cars (for example) and thought "thats not that nice/good for a M5"...then to find out it was not the real McCoy.

on a lighthearted note, i was filling up with petrol at my local station when a guy came up to me and said "porsche wont be too happy with you sticking a porsche badge on your SUV" i was shocked and asked him what he ment..he said " sticking porsche badges on your car does not make it a porsche" and walked off....i was gobsmacked, and didnt know weither to laugh or cry..

 

Indeed there a some very sensible peeps here on this forum. Many thanks for the advice guys I appreciate it - I will be binning the 'S' badge and sticking to factory spec. If anyone wants it please PM me.

 

In my opinion,the most elegant badge...
...is NO badge

 

Hey guys, I'm thinking of putting a Turbo S badge on my Base model Carrera, I couldn't afford the Turbo S, but I want people to envy me and think I can.

Tell me how awesome I am for thinking of this now.

 

Okay, so how about those of use that have upgraded our Cayenne Turbo's that would make it faster than a stock Turbo S? Are we allowed to use the badge then? LOL

 

top man, you have an amazing car as it is.
good luck


and just because an uprated turbo might be faster than a TTS it still isnt one.

pen*s envy comes to mind

 

PM sent Twincharge =]

 

no badge!!!

 

I was thinking the same thing.....


As it sits right now my 955 Turbo is faster then my 957 Turbo S.....


A few years back I was contemplating doing Cayenne GTS, glad I didn't since Porsche decided to make their own GTS....


Plus, whats better then walking someone and having them think, wait, I just got beat by a regular turbo.....

 

i hate people that do that lol . see it on audi a4/s4's all the time too
