I quite like the Subaru style blue/gold combo.  I reckon you should think about changing the mirrors though to either be bodywork colour or gold.  Like wise for all of the other details.

What wheels are they out of interest?

Agree, I really like these wheels, but I would bring in the mirrors and front lip with the bodywork as suggested.  Or maybe body coloured mirrors and gold lip or vice versa.  If all details were gold it would be too much.

1km exits

Nice car, those wheels are horrible though and ruin it.  But as long as you like it then that's all that matters.

I like it. Having spent a large amount of time in South Africa, I can fully understand it will look well in the sunshine and go well. Too many GTi's there and it will definitely stand out. :)

Mirrors need body colouring though I think.
