That colour grew on me too.

I honestly think you need a 1.8T as they are very nice and quick when you need it :)

from what I can tell my 2.0 16v is a higher group than the MK4 1.8t so insurance shoould be no problem.

What are they like for reliability, always been a bit put off, whats a Turbo cost to replace?

£2500 is a little tight imo.

Id save up about £3.5 at least! Preferably £4 - 4.5 (thats just me tho).

And silver is the best colour (thats not just me, thats fact).
