Surely most people that see debadged cars of any make just automatically assume it’s the cheapest model available made to look like something better ;)

The vast majority of debadged cars are entry-level models, which is why it's kind of cool to do it to the top model. Your rationale for debadging the back doesn't make sense given what you've done to the side blades.
Current - Macan III GTS
Previous - Macan II GTS, Macan I GTS

Back in the day....de-badged M5...ultimate q car! Sadly at around the same time people started to de-badge their 316's too.

I much prefer de-badged (on the back) porsche's now as they put far too much badging on the back of all models.

The op is a fantastic spec and the side 'GTS' badging is spot on 👌

I recall I de badged my first car, a 1.L fiat punto with some toothfloss and made a right mess of it. The replacement Arbath sticker wasn't fooling anyone :roll: . On the Macan though, alot cleaner I think without the branding compared to my 2016.

Definitely looks cleaner with the GTS badging on the Gen 3 but the Porsche lettering is also not that visible which makes the rear of a Gen 1 look busy with the lettering
