Hi and welcome.

As above, I'd change the badge to GTD. Some people prefer to also paint the stripe a different colour so the car is not confused with a real GTI.

Also, have you informed the insurance company of the modification? Making a car appear like a higher model can make it more 'valuable' as a target for thieves and hence may incur a hike in premium.
