Agreed, I like the green, reminds me of the MK3 Dragon green colour but the wheels look bloody awful onit
I completely agree with you. The dark red on the green, with the lighter red of the GTI stripe really doesn't work for me.

« Last post by Nino on 24 June 2025, 07:48 »I pop back on here now and again to see what’s happening in the world of Golf GTI…
I saw the GTI ED 50 online and thought I’d see what’s what. I actually like it, I agree they’ve made more effort than the 45, and if the focus has been on the driving experience…. Good for them!
I have no idea on what’s standard or optional on the 8.5 now, I understand from posts that the wheels are a painted version of the standard ones? If so, that’s a bit lazy! Wheels are the easiest mod to make a special edition look different, so why not put something similar to ED30 or 35 wheels, they would’ve looked cool. I would also appreciate standard silver wheels, but that’s just me who’s not a fan of diamond cut or (red) variants off.
I don’t care if they’re BBS or not, just slap on a set of forged “BBS style” and call them lightweight for lower rotating mass, that would have been an instant win.
We’ll see what the journalists have to say I suppose. I expect it to be expensive, but then again, what car isn’t nowadays???

He brings back customers to make sure they know how to take care of the ceramic coat properly after a few weeks which is a good idea. This also means that it's back to being sparkling clean.
I've been really impressed so far with the ceramic coat and PPF. The bugs and dirt slid off incredibly easily and a quick top up application of a Modesta product brought back amazing shine and further enhanced beading. We'll see how it holds up over time but so far I'm pleased.
