update,
I bought my mate out of the van a few weeks ago and started making a few alterations.
the wheels have been ditched for a set of borbets. i bought them blind, being told they were genuine. turns out they are reps and were in a terrible state but i have sorted them out. The kerbing has been removed and the lips repolished. the centres are orange but it isnt the kind of orange i wanted so they will be done again at some stage. I do have some centre caps but o am waiting on a set of flat caps. they are 7.5x16 with 195/45/16 tyres.
It has been lowered with an axle flip out back and the front end is a mix of mk3gti aftermarket sports dampers and aftermarket polo springs. Despite being dropped around 100mm it still rides well and is pretty comfortable.
Next was a seat upgrade. the standard ones are terrible so i have upgraded with a cheap pair of mk3 gti fronts
