not much of an update but changed the alternator. It suddenly stopped charging. 25 quid at the breaker so not much of a loss

Small changes
New battery
Changed gearknob from this:
To this: (I know its not the best but it is a trail fit and i will try to find another in better condition, it was for free so.
New door speakers from a Mk6: (Easy job just the seal that needed to be moved from the old one and mounted on the new. And they sounded great. 8 quid for both)

The hunt for parts is going strong
Made a request from a local scrapyard to buy just the lower section on this bumper
Found a complete RS bumper same colour as mine. Just the black needs to change to chrome. 45 quid

Fitted Mk6 innerlight. Just need to sort the relay so there will be 20 sec delay.
Found some more parts but not fitted:
Genuine XR3i/RS2k sideskirts (from a mk5 the ones i really wanted don't like the Mk6 GTi/RS2k skirts)
Headlights just need to sort the parkinglight on the sides then i can fit the RS front
New speakers in the trunk
Mk6 badges for the bootlid (old enough to not have a debagded bootlid
)
RS badges on the front wings
