Thanks. I was quoted to fix the rust on the boot and the rear arch (involves a full respray on the drivers side) at £375.. cash price though!
I have gone to VW and they have opened a warranty claim on the car, the chap took paint readings and pictures and was going to see what they could do. From what I've read they seem to offer 50% towards the repair of the boot rust - I would go to them first and get a price!

Ah right, good price really then for that! Yea worth doing I suppose, I did the same on my previous car (audi a3) and they repaired it for 30%.

So added a few little bits over the winter period.
Got some winter wheels, 16" alloys from a standard golf. Makes mine look like a rep though..
Firstly got ALL the rust sorted, local bodyshop did a great job too. Got them to touch up some other marks as well while they were at it. A week or so without the car but worth it and a weight off my mind.
Then a new battery, Bosch S5. Was in the sale on Euro Car Parts, the car was a little hesitant on cold startup, it was on the original battery and changing it has sorted it out.
Fitted cruise control myself over Christmas, cheers Eddie-NL for supplying the parts and giving advice! Process was a lot easier than anticipated, glad I didn't pay £100+ to fit it too!
Got a Pipercross panel filter for Christmas, which I've promptly fitted - can't say it makes a massive difference.. maybe slightly noisier.
Then got a eBay special short shifter. Hopefully get this fitted soon, when the 100mph winds have died down..

Tidy looking motor mate, got a shadow blue myself and been really happy with it since I got it.
