Just spent about 45 minutes reading through this entire thread. Your car looks stunning and it's clear that a LOT of work has gone into it, from keeping it in good nick, modifying it (tastefully!) and relentlessly cleaning it. Much respect for that, and to be fair, it all pays off because you wouldn't look at that car and assume it was 13 years old. Looks very new. Great example of a Mk.2, probably the best I've seen yet.
What are your plans for the car in the future? Will you be selling up, driving it into the ground or upgrading the engine? Imo, it would be a shame to see this car go!
