Thank you all for the warm welcome guys and Welshgar safe to say the cruisers will be able to do without me on the seafront on a saturday night.
As an added question, i'm right in reading (somewhere on here i believe) the 18" BBS alloys as supplied on the MK4 30th Anny GTI model & the latter R32 also suffer the dreaded scurge of premature corrosion like the MK3 BBS split rims were prone to.
Reason i ask as both models holds my interest as my next VW purchase, although the possible plans on hiking up the tax on so-called 'gus guzzling' vehicles might screw my R32 idea
