Stretch on a 100hp VW which was designed as a passenger car, is slammed beyond belief, and has a bike rack, rusted hood and chromed engine bay...sure...have at it.
If this car will never see a track day or auto-x event, I guess go for it. I guess if you are drifting and cant afford wider tires and burn them up often, go for it. If you are just going to hardpark one of the most balanced cars to be released in a decade...stretch away.

Your opinion is now very well known, anyone who does anything that might deteriorate the handling capability of this vehicle is a nonce.
But you know what? Chill out, its the internet, this a car enthusiast forum and what the OP intends to use his car for his business, as is how he chooses to tune it.
