It's time i lost the boyracer appearance and would like something a little bigger. Looking for something that will give that professional look rather than a 17 year old driving a Corsa 
Was looking at the Golf and the Audi A3 but want after other suggestions. Don't want anything bigger that a 1.6 and diesel is a thought. I'm tight when it comes to spending money 
Around 10k to spend and after something with less than 10,000 miles on the clock. Don't realty care about the age of the car.

cheaper option is to remove the exhaust and wheels, drive slower, people might not think you are a gimp?

A more prestigious car, with under 10k on the clock for no more than £10k isn't going to get you a lot imho.

Not a great deal to choose from.
And most of them have been listed slyly, as they have more than 10k miles.

Hmmmm £10k & <10k miles.................you wont get anything German to satisfy those requirements.
What about one of those new Punto's, the diesels are meant to be spot on.

Gold Mk4 GTi. - Rough mileage 28-30
Audi A3 1.8T - Rough mileage same
You'll be lucky to get those cars for that money with less mileage to be honest
