Well it certainly seems to be turning into that. I do hanker after another mk1 but ive just decided to sell my mk2 as I dont have time for it and it just sits around. Bit worried if I get a mk1 it'll be a repeat performance. Anyways,good luck with it all and i'll be keeping a close eye

Have you managed to source bolts for your wheels yet ? The cheapest I've found was Tunershop.de
That was for chrome plated ones ?

Have you got aluminium lips or Stainless ?
And are you going for stainless bolts or plated

Yeah, true. But ive always said i'd get another mk1 and the misses wont use the mk2 so figure i'll get a cheap sensible car and then plan on getting a mk1 down the line somewhere
