Title: meet ED..
Post by: ben gttdi on 09 August 2014, 11:31
my new mk6 ED35 been into mk4s so long but I couldn't resist a mk6, looked at a few GTIs, found a few had rough body work or smart repairs on corners, finally I found mine it was at VW Chalfont, lil expensive but very worth it  :evil:

Well worth waiting for the right car and looks like you've got a beauty! I've got wheel envy again, every time I see an Ed35 it makes me want Watkins Glens!

Me too. Really like anthracite coloured Watkins Glen alloys. Ed35 looks great Ben.

Just finished wiping the tears away, I do miss mine. A mist do is painting the rear diffuser gloss black, really finishes the back end off.

I do want to do a few things to it, performance wise im unsure of what parts to actually go for as its a mk5 engine? do I buy mk6 or mk5? exhaust air filter ect?
the Watkins glens I agree are the best standard wheel for the golf by a long shot  :drool:
I was thinking a carbon dip on the rear diffuser?
what u driving now ginge?

Personally I'd do it black gloss as it look more OEM, but each to their own. Most of the bits of the edi30 will bolt straight on.

I strayed to the dark side of bmw and at the moment drive a 3 series, it's not a bad old bus but it ain't a VeeDub!
Title: Re: meet ED..
Post by: ben gttdi on 09 August 2014, 21:19
I guess I could try black, how does it look though its not smooth?
so ed30 air intake? what about exhausts? n other bits?
what you do to yours?

Yes smooth finish, intake will fit straight on, exhaust won't as the mk5 wasn't dual corner exhaust, she'd loads of bits will fit!

Don't know dealer did it for me, I think they use like a levelling compound and then paint it, they did my engine covers in the same way I think?

Title: Re: meet ED..
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 09 August 2014, 22:07
Yeah vw dealer £125 iirc, seat inserts, foot rest cover, engine covers all painted white and sh!t loads of wax! Never did any performance upgrades other than 10mm H&R Trac+ spacers.
