If someone plasters a car in badges that belong to another manufacturer then surely they can't be surprised if that manufacturer gets pissed off, I know I would be.
The manufacturer concerned has about 80 years of history carefully looking after their name only for somebody to steal the name and place it on a far inferior product.

It would appear that the same car without the fake badging is being left alone.
I can see the appeal of a 60's/70's/80's replica when the cost of buying an original costs millions, however, the current crop of replica's of current models I feel is just wrong.
To tell someone that my car was a fake current Ferrari I would feel, well a fake. It would be like admitting that I can't and never will be able to afford the real thing so I will pretend instead, probably whilst wearing my velour tracksuit that I bought from a knock-off shop on holiday.
