Ah a bit (lot) of dirt looks sexy on a GTI, as long as it comes off at some point.
I think it just looks neglected. Hate seeing my car like that.
Don't even like seeing other cars like that. I have even been known to wash visitors cars if I am already out washing mine. Sad, I know!
Having said that... We recently had a Audi Q2 SUV as a loan car while the A3 was in the garage. I thought it looked cool covered in mud. I guess in my mind, mud on a off-road style car looks ok.
And it's the first Sline that I have driven that was actually comfortable. So when I'm not fit to wash my cars anymore I'll get an SUV.
