Not so. Sometimes it's the things deemed uncool that make it cool/right.
It looks top notch....and the side of his car won't end up peppered with stone chips within the month due to the additional width of wheel sticking out!

How cool is stonechipped flanks?

Ans: Not very cool at all.

Mudflaps - uber cool and practical too.

Yep +1 makes a hell of a diference in keeping the car clean etc etc.

Shall have to beg to differ, may look fine on a black or carbon grey car but imo they look s*1t on any other colour.  Yeah maybe they do protect the side of the car but that is open to question too.

I don't have them and have been using my car for almost 1 year now and no stonechips

Personally, I think the mudflaps look great on the car. I have seen a few white GTIs without them and they don't look right. I think it makes them look a bit higher without them.

I will definitely be keeping the silver rim on. I considered removing it and painting it white but I'm not going to bother.

I REALLY want LED rear lights but I simply don't have the funds. The only other things I would do to the car would be LED rears and put a slight tint on the front windows (for show purposes only of course  )

The mudflaps look good to me on a against a candy white car. I think its the black and white contrast thing going on.

Paint a black go faster stripe down the side and it will nearly be as quick as a GTI

Once I get the Revo map on, it will be as quick as a GTI in a straight line.

Most GTI drivers that I have been on the road with are great until they reach a corner, then the GTD is gone!

I agree. Saw a red one like mine with front and rear MFs and it did look lower and meaner IMO.
I am scared to put them on as this would infuriate Gizzy!

...and your wheels appear to be standard, according to your sig.

So unlike the OP and I, whose wheels are significantly wider, and thus stick out more...the mudflaps make a huge difference.
I still have the occasional stonechip despite mudflaps...I'd hate to see the state if I didn't have them.
