Agreed. I'm not sure if it's the colour or just the design but they don't work I think.

I can see them looking good in black though.

i love the wheels, not sure they suit a white one though, red or black would suit the wheels perfectly

Still interior looks odd, red stiching on wheel, gearknob and handbrake, then all black leather  :undecided:

The last exterior picture looks the best, the wheels look bigger on that one which leads me to think it might look better in the flesh. In the other pictures the wheels look to small.

I like it a lot but I'm not sure it's for me, I love the gti sills with monzas.
Title: Re: First ED35 @ Lees place
Post by: MAW73 on 26 November 2011, 09:25
Very nice indeed.

Imo those style of wheels would look better in black gloss on a CW.

That looks really good in white still not sure on the wheels however.

Love the car .... but not those wheels

Maybe they'll grow on me ... but they remind me of these too much  :sad:

I think it falls short of the mark. The Mk4 Anni look special, the Ed30 also ticked the boxes, but this? I'm not so sure.

It's useless in the Transporter btw  :sick:

Having received our Edition 35 this weekend I can confirm that the wheels look excellent in the flesh. The front 3/4 view makes them look tiny but in real life they look great. Very pleased.

What does the badge on the grille say? Is it still GTI as it looks like a word longer that than on the photo.

Still says GTi on the grille. The only ED35 badges are on the front wings and on the kick plates. Nice and subtle.

oooh the Red makes it look like a car I'd own, unlike the white which I'd not even let "The Help" be seen in, Ghastly!  :sick:

HAHA ED35 GTD, might even get me trading in already for that lol.

Looks very nice Mr Poobah in those pictures.  :wink: :angry:

Funnily enough the ED30 always suited red better and I have the feeling it will be the same with the ED35.

Can't see the hash brown and cheese?

So cant be fully loaded
Title: Re: First ED35 @ Lees place
Post by: PenguinGTI on 28 November 2011, 17:45
Poobah... WOW!

That looks fantastic!

The wheels really look so much better against the Tornado Red paintwork. The colour also brings the revised bodywork to life IMO and really goes well with the black detailing (mirror caps and front splitter) that the Ed35 comes with.

But maybe I'm biased.  :grin:

All in all though, seriously nice car. It's the first picture of an Ed35 that I've seen that really makes me think of the Ed35 as a "special" edition.

Thanks for the comments gents. I'm really chuffed with how it turned out, especially seeming as it cost us less than the MK6 Gti we had ordered. It's not 'fully loaded' but then the Edition 35 comes with the bi-xenons, heated/elec leather, blue tooth, nicer wheels (in my opinion!) etc as standard so as standard it's already got a head start on what we had ordered originally.

We just added the service pack, 510 and cruise control as options and that's it.

To be honest, in hind sight i'd probably have ordered the Dynaudio and DAB packs but that's a little thing really. Happy on the whole. :)

Thanks very much. Seriously kind comments.

I think the red does do it a favour but then i've always thought red looked good on the MK6. I also think the ED35 is a bit more sensitive to the changes between 3 and 5 door. The red 5 door ED35 i've seen didn't look nearly as nice imo.

Poobah, just to add... keep Photo #1 for the Calenders when they come up again next year. That first picture you posted is a definite candidate.  :smiley:

Do the wheels come in two optional shades ?  Silver or Anthracite ?

Nope, too many doors for me and don't like the wheels, they've also got a new gti in with the 19" glendale alloy wheels on it, also looks ugly!
