Now the next question is, when do we see Cam-Tech Craig (CMC ???) badges appearing on his work (other than his own vehicles of course) Smile[/quote]

Hmmmmm... There are a few, hand picked by me... But only if there cars reflect the business well!

Come and see me with an open wallet by all means sir Whistle

No they are not marked on the logbook, neither is there an up to date register any longer as the records were skipped when they were taken over by auto brokers (so i was told by more than one Overfinch employee)

So basically then there is no way in telling a genuine overfinch from a non genuine one. So there's me worried about putting badges on a non genuine overfinch car when probably half of the so called overfinchs out there are just the same!

The only thing that used to differentiate an Overfinch supplied car from one modified after market was replacing the Range Rover bonnet and boot lettering with Overfinch lettering. They sold the oval badges and would put them on a conversion to a customers car.

I'm with Craig on this one - not really such a thing as an Overfinch RR any more and certainly can't make comparisons to an M5 etc, BMW wouldn't sell you a grille with an M5 badge on it - Overfinch would sell you a FFRR Grille with an Overfinch Oval on it.

But you can buy the overfinch lettering yourself and put it on,

That's why I said "used to" - the only people that supplied lettering were Powerful and they wouldn't sell you the Overfinch letters - I know there are now people ion eBay who will.

I'm with you - I think Overfinch as a brand is comparable to most other styling houses/tuners - you can buy as much or as little as you want.

Putting an Overfinch badge on, or a spoiler or a grille or a full bodykit or an engine map are all different, but IMHO are not the same thing as putting a Supercharged badge on.

No more scandalous than putting the latest Range Rover wheel centres on instead of the Land Rover ovals.

Or having the M Sport body kit option on a 5 series - it's not the same as putting an M5 badge on which is pretending to have a specific model.

Just my view though Whistle

I bet there are alot of dealers cashing in on this also, overfinch bumpers,wheels and badges fitted and a big price tag for a 'proper overfinch' I wouldnt suprise me if they make replica overfinch bumpers which to the untrained eye look identical. Amazes me how many people with 'replica' wheels actually belive there genuine ones because the dealer from where they purchased there car said they were.

+1 jaiscossie... I have at least 3 customers with 08MY+ OVERFINCH cars (two purchased from a very well known main dealer) and all have fake Olympus wheels... And when i say fake, i mean the bad far east fakes with 19mm wheel nuts! Not the Italian made replicas (which although are non original are of a better quality)

Overfinch (autobrokers) will confirm if the car is a fake or not but they want a photocopy of the logbook sent in first before they give any info away I did that with mine confirmed it was one of theryes and they had on record all the work they done back in 2006 Thumbs Up Rangey Sport OverFinch owner from the otherside

Thats because it was done by them... If you walked into your nearest Stratstones tomorrow and asked them for a duplicate invoice for a service they did in that branch, they would provide one...

Couldn't agree more.

Why actively spoil and devalue your car?

Not sure of your point with stratstones point Craig...? If your buying a 2nd hand one and paying good money for it u want to know its real and not sumthng that someone's slapped on in a back st garage, If its done at overfinch and they prove it then that makes it a genuine conversion.... Rangey Sport OverFinch owner from the otherside
