Welcome to VW'ership.
Albeit in an old, dirty heap.

Excellent colour combo!!
Now you need an RNS510, coilovers, Whiteline ALK, rear ARB, Haldex controller & some coilovers.
Also, whilst the option Recaros look nice, i found the standard ones to be far more comfortable!!
Re: the front end noise, i had similar and it was the cv joint on the nearside, it had failed whilst i was fitting the coilovers, i was lazy so fitted a whole new driveshaft, but im sure a decent Indie will be able to diagnose easy enough. Also, if you dont have it already, get VCDS so you can code things like cruise (if it doesnt have it), rain total closure, boot pop mod etc etc.

I really should have a look and see if it has cruise, wasn't paying any bloody attention as usual.
It had the NSF CV boot replaced in January apparently, but the noise definitely sounds like it's coming from the NSF so will have a look soon.
I take it changing the CV joint is DIYable (not by me, I'll pay @Scrooge in whisky to work on the car as per the usual arrangement
)

R32OC forum makes me feel ill, such a horrible layout
@Sir_Dave - How easy is retrofitting cruise?

I really really like it, can I have a go?
I'd fit the BBS CH, they look amazing.

My skills are on the software side of things, so dicking about with VCDS is more up my alley than actually fixing mechanical things. I tend to either be too cautious with stuff (not hitting it hard enough) and being too gung ho (nearly flooding my house after pelting copper pipes with a mallet). I doubt I will find a middle ground.
I hope you used a sponge along with that black bucket. [emoji23]I cleaned it in the rain. Actually enjoyed it for a change.
I used a mitt that wasn't ruined, which makes a change. I <3 my black buckets
No grit guard.

See ive never understood this business. Surely when you wipe dirt/grit off the car, it wipes the dirt/grit across the car? Unless you dab the car with the wash mit?
Not if you use 2BM, pre wash and snow foam.
Get rid of most of the dirt before you even touch it with the mit.

It's a ten year old silver car. Preprewash and elephant spunk waxes can do one.
Crew of Eastern Europeans, and ten minutes later you're done.

Given my mitt floats, what does a grit guard do exactly?
I use 2 buckets (and a pre-wash, but have no snow foam currently), the paint is 10 years and 61,000 miles old. I don't think I'm doing too much damage.

Silver and vag. Be reet.
So, fings I like about the car so far:
- When you open it at night the sidelights and rear lights come on, and there's tiny pointless spot lights at the mirrors
- You can do 20mph in 6th and the gearbox doesn't whinge
- The way it flings itself out of roundabouts
- Noise
- It's easier to clean than the M3, and the wheels are less irritating
- The paint is quite sparkly after a clean
Fings I don't like (well, it's one thing - nothing to do with the broken things)
- It attracts bell-ends like no car I've ever driven. I do the speed limit pretty much everywhere, which was fine in the M3 but seemingly is like shitting on someone's mothers face in the Golf. Tailgated for miles today for no reason and someone went through a red light trying to 'race' me. Mentalists.

Hah. I don't smile in pictures, I did a forced smile to wind the wife up (because I don't smile in pictures)

Ideally there should be wolves on that hoody going by the tinted glasses.
Pretty tame clothing for you, wtf. I notice the shoes are hidden out the way though, bright orange/yellow?
