Welcome :french:

12.5v with the engine on would certainly seem to point to the alternator being goosed

Yes, blue/green is non-cup 197, blue/orange is cup fronts. Rears are orange/orange non-cup, blue/orange cup, so you'd want to change your fronts to match whatever the rears are.

Have you tried swapping the knock sensor over between cars?

Welcome back :french:

I've had the Bridgestones on my golf (mk7 gtd) since new (2017) and never had any issues whatsoever with them, and I'm not exactly a slow driver.

I bought and fitted these: https://ebay.io/m/tumxPp Absolutely fine, work perfectly with no problems.

From the hazard switch surround and vents that looks like a mk2 rather than a mk3.

Yes, as long as they're from a 197 or an early 200 (you have a 197 I believe?) with the larger top mounts. 200 cup springs are slightly stiffer than 197 cup.

Looks like a nice example. There are a few track-oriented cars on here for inspiration, you can't go wrong with good coilovers and uprated engine/gearbox mounts to tighten things up. Then you're looking at engine mods, depending on how far you want to go.

Jesus that could have been a lot worse. I've just done my track rods on both sides, think I'll be digging out the torque wrench...

They look a lot like these: https://www.larkspeed.com/corbeau-pro-series-x-seat-carbon-shell-1102988/?aditem=1102988 And the corbeau seats are much cheaper.
