Hence my hatred of cars like Audi 2.0TDIs with full S-Line kit and twin exhausts or M Sport BMW 318d/118d (and to a lesser extent, the 320d).
No no and no again.
With a piquant jus of "no-ness" and a side salad of "non" leaves.
Not quite the same though is it. When buying a new car. Take the Audi A3 2.0TDI for example (A car I nearly ordered before buying the Golf) There are various spec's available at different prices. I specced the S-Line. Why? Because the S-Line kit makes the car look better. Not because I wanted people to think it was an S3. Just because it enhanced the looks of the car, and because it was available straight out of the factory.
Taking a factory spec Focus Titanium and spending loads of money making it look like a ST is completely different. I too think people are mad doing this. But speccing a factory kit is perfectly acceptable.
We all want our cars to look good. If a Facoty kit gives us that, then great.
