Looking good. I have just bought the identical car, mine is a GT 1.4 TSI in Black.

So you have changed the font grill, is that a standard GT front bumper though?

Thanks for the reply, can I ask where did you get your grill badge from?

since last post had the injectors changed under warranty so all is good on that front.

some dozy driver pulled out and knocked the front, so thought it was the right time to do a few bits:
fitted black gti headlights.
fitted the gti splitter (both parts, not just bodged to the gt one).
fitted the rear bumper for the gti.
Fitted Black VW emblem on the front.
Fitted an armrest, don't know how i have managed without one for this long.

And also got some eibach sportlines fitted. they have improved the looks to what i want.

next on the shopping list is a rear spoiler.
