de-badged peugeot 406 estate? - Steve Brautigan
Cars often dont have badges for several reasons, and it doesnt necessarly mean they have been re sprayed.

One reason is that people dont want others to know what model it is they are driving, happens a lot with bmw's, when people dont want other people to know their 3 series is just a bog standard 318. I actually remember hearing that BMW charge for debadgeing, but dont know if this is true, anyone know?

Another reason is that badges can just fall off. Especially the little LX etc badges on the 406, by the front doors, often just come off. If its the larger badges on the back of the car, that does sound a bit dodgy, but check it out before you jump to conclusions.
