Well, I'm with mortygttdi and JPC on this one.
My '08 170GT TDI has GTI side skirts and grilles and a lovely colour coded rear GTI Bumper covering my removable towbar. (All genuine VAG parts and noted by my insurers)
It also has GTD badges front and rear.....
Does that make me 'beyond the pale' or a leper?
I think not - I really think what I've done is entirely tasteful -and no different in essence to the many 'mods' - both cosmetic and performance - that lots of folks on here have carried out?
Some of you will know that I joined this happy band as a Revo'd GTI owner (Steel Grey '07 MY), but being retired, I now enjoy the lower running costs, greater economy and brisk cruising that my 'oiler' gives me!
And it certainly isn't about money in my case.....
Hey we're all chums here aren't we?
