As an owner of a facelift Mk2 I have to agree - nice car.
Don't see so many of them around in silver - it's one of only two colours I'd consider seeing black wheels on (the other being white).
I have mine in Anthracite and I've owned it from new (back in 2011) and I've got no intention of getting rid of it any time soon - just enjoy it so much.
Have a good check around the tyres and make sure they are wearing evenly - a whole load of these came out of the factory with incorrect geometry setup's (which is pretty unforgiveable if I'm being honest) but easily sorted.
Enjoy it.
*Edit*
Is this the petrol version?
