cheers guys for all the positive comments.....
Will be keeping the car OEM as much as possible, but mods to follow iclude
1. Bora vents (Vents only no looms or W8 light - have neither the time/knowlege)
2. OEM HID replacements or as close as legally possible.
3. Possibly painting the front/rear valence (why did this not come as standard from VW?)
4. and of course a full plastic battery cover!
