Cheers for the feedback guys.
@Dave: You're right though, it's a fairly functional shape....
@CJ: I agree 100% - the fact there are 1.4's running around with lexus lights, tacky spoilers, grills, tints etc.... nearly put me off. In fact I don't even like heavily modified golf's even if they're done really professionally....... I'll get some more pics together after I've replaced the naff aftermarket grill with a standard OEM one - hopefully early next week.
@Kevinod: Keeping every thing as OEM as possible so there won't be to much else done - looking at a remap by LogicAutomotive and I migh also consider fitting some TT/S3 carriers to take some TT/S3 disks up front. Apart from that all I really want is a phatnoise (VW's 40Gb mp3 player).
@MfFTO: I love those wheels - fill out the arches nicely and the ride is still fairly compliant even with the new billies and rear arb - it's only the backend that feels a bit too firm. But I really need to get some VW centre caps.......
