My hand me down B5.5 wagon sport TDI auto

The old man has owned this car from new and I've recently purchased it from him for work duties. It's covered a mere 303k miles and retains most of it's original parts. All main components haven't been touched, it did have an alternator a few years back though. It drives as good as the day he picked it up. The paintwork is original but I'm having the N/S rear quarter tidied up soon due to some slight damage where my dad reversed into a street sign. It will also be treated to a full paintwork correction, as soon as I find time, using Menzerna products.
Bought a few things for it so far but not going too wild with it
How it looked when I acquired it
Then I bought some 19" x 8.5J BBS CH-R replicas
It was far too high so bought some mega cheap ass JOM coilovers (sits slightly lower on the back usually but the driveway isn't level)
My aluminium pressed number plates have arrived, just waiting for ze German surrounds. Going to order some genuine floor mats too as the originals have just about had it after 300k lol! Might also try some spacers as the wheels could do with a tad more poke and I may also be tempted by a remap for economy
Hope you like
