Here it is after 32,000 miles, 4 services, 3 sets of tyres, quite a few repairs and a couple mods

32k in a year... Crikey!  Looks nice and loving the subtle mods.  Pretty much what I plan doing visually!

I guess right now I'm where you were 12 months ago, out to look at some GTi's this weekend.  Hopefully able to make a decision and have something by early next.  Better be as I'm car-less after tomorrow!

Good work Steve :cool:

Mine turned 1 year old a few weeks ago on 1st May, how fast does a year go. I still remember picking her up from Maidstone to the point where I remember what I was wearing. What a loser.
