I was expecting to see something a lot more visually jarring than what your pic shows Chill. The windows don't stand out that much from the surround and pillars. I take your earlier point that over time the surround will 'yellow' while the windows remain pristine white, but you should be applying a 'top-up' coat about every 5 years to your window surrounds regardless of window material. Personally I wouldn't bother trying to 'distress' the windows in this instance...
