Looks utterly rEdiculous as it is, but will look very smart once you've fitted spacers. I say keep them.
I like the fact the Nervasports are sharp and angular and the mk3 is very rounded.

Look at his/her parking! There isn't even a space on the other side so he/she's got bags of room. What a useless waste of air. I fcuking hate them.
No its not.
It is if you want to drive a 2.0. But more fool them for doing it. I pay less than that to insure 6 people and £100k's worth of cars.
