I very much like the idea and look of the TCR. If I didn’t have such a good car already I might be seriously tempted. If I was, it would be grey with the decals, and suffer the mild embarrassment, lol. I think you take it for what it is and take the decals. Would you have a Clubsport without the CS sill decal? Me neither. 
Think because the hexagonal decals are optional but the TCR logo isn’t it wouldn’t bother me but I see your point. I always find it odd, for example, to see a CS without the black roof. Why would you?
Yes, why would you!
I know where your coming from on the TCR decals as they are an option. But they are also a signature of the TCR so for that reason I’d go for them. That’s saying something from an owner of an R that’s looks just like a bog standard golf. In fact twice last year I mistook a black base Golf in my works car park for my R.
But on a TCR! To hell with it, I’d want the decals!
But....
4WD is a very hard thing to let go, and so I shall stick with what I’ve got for another two years and live in hope for a mk8 R, and then live a bit more in hope that it is worth the wait!
