Simple enough, say you decided to spend the extra cash for a Cup edition Jetta TDI. Do you keep the sticker? Or rip it off?

I'd probably rip it off if it were my car...but others are free to do as they see fit. It doesn't look too bad. To each their own.

I'd keep it on, but I'd also watch where I park it. I just had an old Civic stolen. Maybe have to hire an armed guard
What a sweet looking car & the best part, it's a TDI. That Rocks Hard!

My .02 cents. If it was my car, I personally like to keep it as originally as possible. It would be easier to sell it later on if I wish to do so.
However, I would add the followings just to add a little bit spice to the car w/o going overboard
-OE/OEM Hella fog lights with Euro OE/OEM fog light switch
-BBS wheels of the same size

Wheel gap, shmeel gap. Keep the car with an actual suspension that absorbs bumps.

The sticker does not look bad so I'd probly keep it. Would do something with all the chrome hanging off the front bumper and grill. Again just my
.o2 worth.

Ditto what others have said. I'm not a fan of chrome, so I'd be in the "black it out and rock the sticker" camp.

I like the sticker, but ordered one in black, which I think is very sharp too. The black one has very little chrome. Mine is due in 4/26/10.

Leave the sticker until it is unsightly or you get bored. I agree with the others about that chrome diaper on the front. Change it to a GLI blacked out one. I would fill the wheelwells with bigger rubber. Those look like 45 series tires, kinda unforgiving on rims if you drive on bad roads. Increased sidewall height will protect the rims better and deliver a bit more cushioning over low -pros. Don't listen to the flamers that come behind me saying to stick with the lo-pros. You can buy some really nice grippy all season high performance tires and even some of the high end grand touring are nice. Performance will not suffer with either the AS ot the GT if you buy quality ones.

Not to hijack this thread, but: For those who have taken delivery of a cup car - how is the ride on those 225/40/18 tires? My only fear of having ordered it without first driving one is that I would not be happy with the super-low profile tires with their hard ride. It depends on the suspension too, I realize, but I would like to know from those who own and drive these cars if the 40 tires are perhaps too low profile? I had 245/40/17 on an AMG car and those were hard, but these are even lower profile than that and mine were in the back, not on all 4 corners. That car had a very stiff suspension though and so you felt every pebble anyway.

Btw, you don't have the TDI Cup front end treatment -spoiler/splitter?

I like the sticker... that said... I'd be worried (maybe needlessly) that the sticker would make the car more attractive to thieves.

Lose the sticker, drop the car 2" and black out the chrome.

Sticker is done ok for me. So for the sake of staying stock, I will keep it. The 40 series profile is not forgiving on rough roads, will be tiring for high mile usage. Ordered some 19" Gallardo replicas in black for our salsa. Will eventually use 235/35 tires. They are about 1/4" larger on the radius to help fill the fenders. But going to try to start with 225/40s, they are 1/2" taller on radius. Based on my experience, speedo gauge usually reads faster than GPS, so a bit taller tire may make gauge more accurate. Also put yellow h-7s in the high beams, looks good.

Keep the sticker and go with either the GLI or '10 Wolfsburg black grill..
BTW, aside from your spoiler, our cars are identical.. are you thinking of doing anything with the headlights, or adding fogs...?

FYI, this isn't my car, just a poll question as to whether or not you would/did keep or ditch the sticker.

Since you put it that way....I think the owner of that car might be ticked if you ripped off his sticker.WVU TDI said:
So I change my vote to: "Don't do it."

The rides pretty soft. I like it a lot better then my 1999 Jetta.
