Debadging....
My X-Type was de-badged, more for symmetry on the bootlid than anything else
My XJR is de-badged, I don't need R badges to make the car special
My Land Rover is still wearing all it's badges....which is unusual for me, but it looks right so....meh....
It really depends on the car, I like to think that usually it's to be understated, i.e. take off the R badges, you don't need them, the car speaks for itself.

Some of you young whippersnappers haven't been around here long enough.

Here is someone who gets it... The "R" on the front grill of the F-Type is a perfect example. Completely throws off the symmetry of the front end.

@oz - I posted a thread on here a few months ago about black wheels and several members thought the idea was preposterous. Not a reaction you would typically get from someone under 40.

More recently in the U.S., it has become common for the high-powered models in a line to be de-badged in order to become a bit of a "sleeper." I see a lot of de-badged M3s around, and I purchased a year-old, de-badged RS4 from an owner who told me he wanted it to look like as much like the rest of the A4 herd as possible.
That seems similar to the trend among some of the R-crowd around here. However, it's rather difficult to fade any F-Type into the woodwork.
