WRX or GTI- Hear me out

I know may sound stupid, but...

The GTI I found is limited edition, has an R32 front bumper and some other mods. Recaro interior(stock.) Also only 22K miles and is being sold at a price I could afford to do a turbo upgrade then forge dv, evolution motorsports CAI, and tectonics exhaust, some wheels.

WRX, I would probably search forever to find an 04-05 but it would be fast from the factory, not aftermarket need, but I would do a cobb ecu, forge dv, STI fog covers, and STI wheels.

Here are pictures of what the GTI could look like after maybe 15K or more and if I have to...overnight parts from japan.
