What do you think of this R32?

Hi, seen a golf R32 in a garage near me. Forgetting about tax, fuel etc for a moment its got me thinking.

Are these the original wheels with different centre caps?. How else do you rate it in terms of condition, miles etc

All looks original enough to me. They are the right wheels. The OE VW centre caps corrode very easily (powdery white schitt bubbles under the logo) so he probably fitted something else. An "R" logo from what I can see.

The car is about £1000 over priced imo, especially as it's the less desirable 5 door version.

What about service history? Price seems pretty good imho given the mileage........

I have a 51 330d sport saloon atm and was thinking of a straight swap, but im in two minds over it. Not sure whether i'll be gaining on power that much as mine is approx 225bhp with remap. How easy are these R32's to tune and what bhp is easily obtained.
Regarding the 5 door, that is what i need as have 2 kids so 3 door will be no good for me.

Being a NA engine you don't get the same relative power increase as you do with a Turbo.

A remap, Milltek exhaust and CAI might get you to circa 280bhp but to get over 300bhp you need some serious work on cams etc.
