yeah thats what im hoping for, got 4-5k for the actual car then a few more to get it up to scratch! i'd love a grey 3door but they seem to be as rare as hens teeth!

well for an s3 my budget would be max 7k, looking for a facelift 225bhp model with black interior, standard alloys and chrome mirrors, not in red, green or hibiscous red!....but as i said thats my max and would have to save up a bit more for the insurance as its alot more then the golfs! I could have a much nicer golf with my budget so i may save the s3 for my next car and have a bit of fun with a really good GTi!

would be looking for something like this...page 2... 

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=76924.10

sorry for the link i dont have any other pics of it anymore!

an anni could be an option, although i like the idea of having a car like i did before and a bit of cash to play about with it!

how much are r32's these days i think my insurers would laugh me off the phone!

R32's start at about £8k for a non V-car, IIRC.

What's your max mileage?  There's a nice Midnight Blue '02 S3 on AT for £5,950 with 87k on the clock.  Looks very clean, but needs a HPI, obviously. ;)
