Adrian, I haven't been on this topic for a few days, sorry for the delay in answering your question.
I consider my project a GL but I don't fit these rules:
I will have the chrome side trim, just so I don't have to spend the time filling the holes! I want to drive this damn thing!
My paint will not be Euro influenced. I am planning on painting it "Honduras Maroon", it's a 50's custom color that was popular in the U.S. It's a dark maroon without any metalic.
My wheels are from a 912 but they are steel, if you don't look at the crest on the hubcap (and know what you are looking at) you would think they were VW wheels. I may get some 16" Porsche wheels for track use.....
I guess my car qualifies as a sleeper/stealth GL, unless you look closely you would never know it had so much Porsche stuff motivating/stopping it.
Do I feel hurt because I don't qualify? Not really, I'm building this thing to drive the wheels off it, not show it.
