Threre is no way on this earth you will get a GTR 34 (or even a 33 for 12k).
GTR 34 at least £27k
GTR 33 at least £15 (17 for a decent import 19 for a UK model).
You would get a decent R32 for 10-11 (93 model). I would go for a Honda Civic Type-R Integra or an Accord Type-R, but then I am biased as my husband has a CTR.

Integra Type R DC2.
Reasonable running costs, reasonable MPG, very reliable - some nice examples around for reasonable money. Insurance can be a bit steep though, but the car is worth it.
Ignore the too harsh comment above - all depends what you want. If you place creature comforts first then the DC2 is not for you - if you want performance and handling for a reaosnable budget - go for it.

0-100 in 10.5 seconds , with a 0-60 of only 5.5
thats a 2 seconds faster than an M3 even with the slower 0-60
name a another car that goes from 60-100 quicker than it goes from 0-60
Peloquin LSD for £400 is highly recommended though

McLaren F1
Aston Martin Vantage Supercharged
Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota
Porsche Carrera GT
Dodger Viper Venom 600
Koenigsegg CC8S
Ferrari Enzo
Mercedes SLR McLaren
Edonis
Mercedes CL 65 AMG
you get the picture
60-100 in 5 secs is very impressive, that's right up there with the 360 Modena

Your Golf sounds pretty damn impressive too! How would it work as a daily driver?

used daily up till a few weeks ago when i bought a little smart car
No problem, very docile - potters around like any other shopping trolley
very progressive power deliver, no big turbo bang - just starts pulling at approx 3000 rpm and doesn't stop until 7500
chassis copes with it pretty well very rarely get any torque steer even with the Lsd. Racelogic + boost controller takes care of things in the wet
On topic
I would get an Octavia 4X4 and give it the jabba treatment - great stealth machine
