Cant stand them, its almost ok if they dont badge it but very annoying if they do. I make a point of showing them why its an R '32' by making the 3.2 howl as i go past!

Theres a goon near me with a 1.4 with R32 wheels and badges, completely standard apart from that..

If someone wants to spend their hard earned making a car look like something it isn't then good on you I say!  :happy2:

But whatever you do don't put a badge on it trying to 'pretend' it actually is!  :fighting: :fighting:

Lol I saw a black gti it had the gti badge on the rear boot lid on the right instead of left and had two small skinny exhaust poking out the lower bumper made to look like the gtis then he had the cheek to look in his rear view mirror and speed off as if he is in the real thing

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Some people might not be in the position to afford to buy/run a gti/r32.  So a replica is ideal. Just as long as its not badged up as a gti/r32
