Ford Rear Model Badges

[Slupanter]

Hi all,

I noticed when ford refreshed the Focus that the rear "model designation" badge was removed. 

My father has a 2015 Focus Titanium X but no badge stating this, same for Zetec. This is there a reason ford are leaving these off?

primarily security.

Unfortunately thieves look for high spec models, and so labeling them was as good as inviting some thieves to the car. Specifically the Fiesta Metal for example.

this is one of the key reasons they began factory debadging the cars, as if they all more or less look the same, then its less attractive to thieves.
