Default Anybody else besides me think that all the aftermarket spoilers

and wings, and all the extra guages and stickons ruin the clean lines of the car, unbalance the design integrity, or am i really just a lone voice in the wilderness?????

Default are belong to me

No, I mostly agree. It is hard to find any body kit that preserves the clean lines of the car. I like the OEM kit except for the spoiler add-ons and I like the changes made for the 3.2 TT but that is about it. I will probably end up with a new lower lip, probably the OEM piece and maybe a new grille, either Abt or mesh but that's about it.

Default Inclined to agree with you, I lean towards performance/handling mods....however,

its an individual thing and understand those who want to individualize their TT's in appearance too....

Default I think you are generalizing as not all aftermarket spoiler, wings and

extra guages ruin the lines of the car

Default Point taken, I am of a like mind on the Bauhaus principles that lead to the cars design...

IMHO the TT is about reduction and my appereance mods are done along those lines. I do support anyone else's right to do what they want.

Default I fell in love with this car because of the clean lines-->>

But IMO, if someone has done hp uprades, a more aggressive look is appropriate.
I have always added body kits to cars I've owned before this, in which after a while I outgrow the look. JMO

I agree - the TT will go down as a clasic.
