The R32 really are great cars, both the MK4 & MK5 so it all depends which car you prefer.
I have always loved the MK4 R32 and prefer the MK5 GTI over the R32 but its all personal choice.
It all depends what your budget is but I think either the MK4 or MK5 would be a great choice

A year ago I'd say mark 4 anyday.
Getting a little bored of them now though.
So mark 5 gets my vote for sure! Minus the gay silver front grill.

Indeed, would have to do something about that grille. Mk5 R32 can be had for as little as £13500 for one of the 2006 cars. Tempting... but a Mk5 GTi is £4000 cheaper! Autocar reckoned the GTi is the better bet as it has better handling (lighter engine for starters). It won't sound like an R though
I'm in no rush so will take my time over things.

Mk 5 Golf GTI in white. Definitely the best looking mk 5

I totally agree they look mint, deffo the best colour for the MK5 GTI.
MK4 R32 in blue would be my other choice

Took the amber side repeaters and rear Jap lights off today, and replaced them with the originals (crystal clear repeaters and all-red rears)... might re-tint my foglights yellow again for funsies. Got lots of the tint film left over from last time, could probably do 3 more sets of foglights! Looks good but not as good as lamin-x.

Blimey, its been 6 months since I looked at this thread!
My choice of winter wheels for 2010/11 are now fitted, complete with lovely new Toyos. Here's a sneak peek:
The Borbets are up for sale, more on that later.

Looking Good Si
Not really my cup of tea but least they are serving a good purpose for the winter months.
Got anymore pics of them?

Cheers, no they're nothing amazing but they'll do the job for the next 6 months, and at least they're not G60 steels again (the steels look good but I've done them three times over now!). These are Seat Arosa Sport 15" alloys.
Plus, they were a bargain price at £82 on eBay including four part-worn S-Drive tyres! Seen a set go for three times the price on ClubLupo so thats where they'll end up next year if I sell them.
More pictures when the VW centre emblems arrive, they'll look a bit better then.

For £82 that is a proper bargain!

Looking good dude!
Will be nice to see more pics.
I'm fiddling with my winter wheels as we speak! They should be on in the next week or two
