I've just bought a 2007 GTI, MY07 tornado red, 5 door, only 37000 miles on the clock. Lovely black leather seats with red stitching - (never seen that before - must've been a special order?). 17" alloys - I think I'm NOT gonna change to 18" (whiteworm etc) as I think they look pretty good. Or will all you other owners think I'm a raving homosexual if you see me at the lights? :undecided:
Might go for a Bluefin remap after a while...
Car looks & feels like new and was seriously tight to drive.
She has a coilpack recall and I'll prob get belt & waterpump done also. Will pick her up in a week and a half, can't wait!
I'm going gaga here - I need a drink! :wink:
Thanks to everyone for all the advice up to now and I'll put a few squid into the charity box - well worth it.
-
can i be cheeky and ask how much you paid ?
Thinking of chucking my 06 plate up for sale soon (similar spec but no fancy stitching!) and trying to get a ballpark figure.
-
£9600. Not too bad, from a private dealer. Would you really change an 06 for an 07?
-
Sorry I realise you're not changing an 06 to an 07. Forgive me I'm in a strange mood!

Sounds like you've bought an Edition 30 GTi, and not the standard GTi. There are around 2300 built, and have the red stitched seats and trims fella.
any photos ?
-
No-definitely not an Ed30 - (I wish it was!) Seats are full leather, with no interlagos.
It's a UK car too,not an import. Dealer said it was a special order, but I've never seen the trim anywhere else. I'll post some pics when I get her.

Indeed that would be weird :smiley:
Thanks for the info. Sounds about inline with what I was thinking.
Enjoy !

Hey all,
this is literally my first post (Took me an hour just to figure how to do that! jez!!), I just bought a 2007 Edition 30 GTI, absolutely love it!! I'm sure I'll be on here asking more questions, but I've got one that needs answering now....
A smartass in work today decides to tell the office that my wheels are "replcia" GTI wheels...now the one's I have are like this one below (not my car...)

I just wanted to know if any of you know what colours the Edition 30 GTI from 2007 came in? My ones a sort of dark grey...I'll try get some photos up tomorrow. I only just got it and its dark already ha ha!! Just wanted to give the hater a slap but wasn't sure.
Cheers,

Welcome and nice car choice!
The ED30 in the UK had BBS CH alloys fitted. They are completely different to the ones in your photo!
-
The wheels in that pic are Monza's which are standard fit on a standard GTI, although they aren't standard on an edition 30 doesn't mean they're reps but i can't understand why someone would put Monza's on an edition? :huh:
Unless they knew someone that wanted the edition wheels and swapped before trading??

Any GTI with leather should've had red stitching imo, looks crackin mate. :cool:
-
Very nice choice, they always look ace in red.
