Thanks for all the replys!

I'm planning on keeping it for a good while unless inruance for young drivers suddenly drops and i can get a quicker one!  :grin:
If i head up to uni ill have this for at least another 3-4 years.

Colour coding was something i forgot to mention, I would like to do that but is it easy to get the right finish (colour match)?

Also I think i'd rather lower on springs first just to keep things simple. I can't go too low as living/ working on a farm and constantly driving around country roads and farm tracks is something this golf will have to put up with!

And something else i forgot was caliper painting. Will red look a bit over the top do you think?
Regarding wheels ive always had a thing for bbs lm's.. are there many good reps out there?

Stereo upgrade was also something i thought about went i first went to see the car. I may just get an ipod lead put in the back for the time being.

And regarding the highline.... what exactly is that?  :ashamed: Is it upragding to things 'better' models would have?

Hoping you guys might be able to help me,
 the drivers side door skin is loose at the top (under the mirror). I've had a look around the hinge end and there is a torx screw missing that holds the skin against the rest of it. Any idea of the size of the screw or where i can source one?

Cheers

Id definitely start off with colour coding the bumper and door strips first.
I've got a 1.9TDI in the same colour.
I saved money for coilovers and wheels, got a Revo stage 1 map.
Then an RNS510 came along, currently looking for GTi seats and a GTD front bumper, then i'm sorted lol.

I tried to save as much money as possible to buy the higher costing things which had a larger impact to the car's appearance.
But obviously, everyone likes to mod their cars to their own taste.
You're definitely on the right forum for mk5 inspiration.  :happy2:
