Hi Chris the transformation is coming along at a fast pace, If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy the r32 style bumper and exhaust.

The rear bumper & Exhaust was bought from here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REAR-VALANCE-VW-GOLF-V-R32-with-2-exhaust-holes-for-R32-exhaust-/231602701717?hash=item35ec98c595:g:Rg8AAOxyzi9ShMFa
Only 40 mins drive from me so I decided to pick it up.
The bumper is made of plastic & fits quite well but did need 2 bolts underneath to secure it in the centre.
The exhaust is as quiet as a standard GTi one & comes with a selection of reducer sleves so it will fit any Golf exhaust.

Finally got round to taking some pics of it with the new wheels fitted.
Then I decided that I didnt like the replacement headlights that I fitted so I went and bought a set of these (Should have got them first time round)
Started to fit them last Monday on my day off but this is how the day ended up
When taking the front bumper off to do the headlight change I spotted an oil leak so I loaded it onto my truck & took it to the Garage we use at work.
Turned out to be just the rocker gasket that was leaking so I had that changed.
Got the car back all built up again with the new lights fitted, I put LED side lights in & 6000k HID kit.
Need to do some serious saving up now as its booked in on 9th May to have a new drivers wing, Both sides and bonnet painted.

Had an issue with my wipers after fitting the Depo projector lights & HID kit.
Wipers not working at all so I fitted a new wiper motor & still wont work. I have coded the lights as "Xenons without shutters" but no luck.
A scan with Vagcom says no communication on wiper motor.
So I have left it for now as It was booked into body shop today so I took it down there whilst it wasnt raining.
I will have to look into the wiper issue once all paintwork is done & I have the car back again.

Isn't the wiper motor issue something to do with the Earth connection on the drivers head light? Might be something to look into
