Hi all!
This is my first post to these forums, so be kind!
I'm a new Ed30 owner having had to wait for a painful 12 weeks from order to delivery. It was definitely worth the wait though!
Here's the spec:
- Tornado Red
- 3 door, manual box
- Xenons
- DVD Sat Nav + 6 CD changer
- Parking Sensors
- Armrest
- Highline computer
Was ordered from Beadles near Maidstone, Kent.
I got the little beasty last Tuesday and it's already wracked up 600 miles. Any excuse to drive it!! :smiley: It's quite a difference from the 1.9 130 PS TDI Passat I had before this!
I'll add some photos once I've uploaded them to the Web.
Cheers

Now - how do I keep those alloys clean??
Cheers

car looks great the wait for mine is killing me - get some of this for your wheels a couple of coats and it makes cleaning them so much easier

Holy ^%#%!!!!!!
Now that is very very very sexy (Excuse my choice of words)
This is the first edition 30 i have seen on this site that I actually think looks stunning. The red and those rims go well. I also like the silver. But damn, I'm rethinking my opinion on this car :rolleyes:
Congrats. Thats a very nnice car.
-
nice colour, it really does pull off the red well!! the gti e30 looks great in all colours however...
i ordered steal gray, still pending mine, into week 2
-
I must admit I was torn between the black, white and red when ordering but as my previous car was black and white is hard to keep clean, I went with red!
It certainly does turn heads when driving round my home town!
But you're right - GTI's look great in any colour...
Cheers
John
-
very nice mate... have fun :wink:
-
very smart :cool:
-
looks good, is it pearlesent??
-
It's just the bog standard Tornado Red.
I must admit I thought it was going to be too "orange" when I first ordered it, but it's actually a really "eye catching" red. I can see my car from a mile away when it's in the car park!
-
The car is smashing looks like a killer but im not to keen on the cloth on the seats of the red gti looks a bit grandady.
Thats my opinion anyways. No one got one with leather???
-
erh unfortunatly, only full leather is available on the Standard Mk 5 GTi :grin:, You dont get the choice, if you hate Tartan, you dont buy an Edition 30 end of. :sick: But the "Grandaddy" as you put it, eats G60's for snax :wink:
-
Great looking GTI!!!
Red sure looks good and i've warmed very much to it after seeing one on the road. Red is the official GTI colour after all!
I got the Pearlesent Magic Black paint on mine and just ordered some touch up paint from the stealers which i will pick up on friday.
PS. No "EDITION 30" Badge on the rear?????????
-
:cool:

That was the first thing I noticed during the PDI! One is on back order for me and they're going to put it on when they sort out a slight "ding" on one of my alloys :sad:

Errr.. I think WHITE is official GTI color.
-
And the front lip looks different, non-stock, looks like Votex aftermarket part. :undecided:
-
No, that's a genuine front lip :smiley:

Looks great John, picked mine up a week ago last Mon and I've only covered 350 miles. Been too busy at work :sick:. However, this weekend :evil: :evil:. Can't believe they forgot to put the badge on! :shocked: Have you got any pics of the ding in the wheels?
-

I know I was a bit surprised too. The stealer said some come badged and other don't... hmmmm...
I'll take a photo of the "ding" tonight - it's nothing much but when I pay £25K for a car I expect everything to be perfect.
The badge and wheel are being sorted on Tuesday :grin:

That's rubbish, they all come with the badge, its part of the Ed30 package. Sounds just like the tail I was told about when I saw the Steel Grey Ed30 with the dodgy rear bumper down in Buckinghamshire and we all know what happened there. :evil:
