Took mine in for a second go to repair a puncture but the tyre has had it. So, even with 4mm left on the fronts and 6mm on the rears (great wear over 25k miles), I put my big boy pants on, took a very deep breath and ordered 4 Goodyear Asymmetric 6. I really wanted PS4S as they were great on a previous car but given this unplanned expense, the Goodyears being very well rated and £70 cheaper, I thought I'd give them a spin.

Cheers Watts, I think I’m going to need some soon so I’ll take a look at the Goodyears - did they replace the Potenzas as the stock tyres when the TCR came out?

Edit - sorry I thought you were replacing like for like but I’ve read it properly now… I’d still be keen to hear how you get on with them though

I saw this on Instagram and thought it was a nice touch so I got one for mine from eBay. It doesn’t make it a CSS and we have the ongoing debate on how many Clubsport Edition 40s came to the UK (much lower number than 1,000) but I like it.

Excuse the dust  :embarrassed:

That looks great! Agree the 1000 looks good. Can you send the link please?

The numbered plaque looks good, I thought there was some confusion on the number of UK ED 40 cars actually sold. Is it definitively 1000 UK cars?

I reall there being over 2K Ed30 sold when we were told the target number was likely to be 1500?

Back in July 2017, jjgreenwood, forum member and sales manager at Inchape, contacted VWUK and they confirmed 570 were imported.  4th post down on this link: https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=280173.150
