I've got black R32 and metallic grey is another really nice colour..............5 door is worthwhile and easier to sell I think........leather is nice but I think the seat upgrade is also good..........Sat Nav is good but sometimes a bit confusing

I saw the ED30, VERY tempting but as children will be on the way soon :smiley: it has to be a 5 door :sad:
Was the ED 30 available with a full leather interior? I did have cloth once but im not the most carefull and it staines easier than leather.

VW have very kindly also produced a 5dr Ed 30 too ... just for people like you :laugh: :drool: :grin:
Very nice car too if I say so myself ... comes with half leather / half cloth heated front seats as standard
-
i believe the ED30 was available in full leather.

Nope Ed30 just available with half leather seats. :smiley:

And I have to say they look great and are really really comfortable :laugh:

Half leather (on the bolsters but not the cushions). If you're worried about stains, have you thought about a can of scotchguard?
By the way, the seats look better in my opinion in the ED30 than full leather. The GTI fabric is really brilliant - very much worth your while finding out for yourself.

Went to the local dealer yesterday...lots of ED30's!! Unfortunatly i have been given strict instructions by my wife that (in her words) 'your not buying a car with a kilt for a seat!!' So looks like i will have to get the GTI std... Ive booked myself in for a test drive on Thurday with a manual and a DSG :grin:
Once i eventualy get used to the power (i am coming up from a 1.6 Focus) and suggestions on re maps? Superchips offer one for £600 and gives about 91BHP (on the Ed30 with super)
Any helkp would be usefull!!
-
LMFAO!!!
A kilt?? Those seats are pure class!
If you can afford the extra cost of an Ed30 buy it. Its more than just extra power.
1. Better resale.
2. Different look, Pescaras, badging, car.
3. And with a remap.... you get this look on your face... :evil:

You dont need to tell me, i could live with the seats but im honest enough to admit that i DI NOT wear the trousers!! I think that i have done well to convince my wife that its OK to spend £15K + on a car when she wants to have a baby!!
Just a thought, could i get leatehr seats from a write off and fit them in an Ed30?
-
Hmmm.
Thats a good idea :cool:
I dont see why you cant do that?
-
Might keep an eye out for one!! Wonder if VW can sell one seperatly? All questions to be asked Thursday i think!!!!
-
Try a stealer or Fleebay. :cool:

LOL @: kilt! :grin: It's 'retro' - the first Golf GTIs in 1977 had those seats and seeing as the Edition 30 is to celebrate those 30 years I think it's a good idea to have the same pattern! I didn't like them at all when the Mk 5 GTI first came out but I love them now!
-
IF! I could get the seats changed, would anyone be interested in the front and rear seats from the ED 30? I will have to find the leather seats first mind....
-
Had full leather in my last mk5 GTi, and there is no way I'd swop the ED30 seats for them. The leather looks ok and adds a bit of class to the interior but Id say the ED30 seats are comfier and you don't get the hot in the summer/cold in the winter issues.
I was a little unsure of the ED30 tartan leather combo when I looked in the brochure before I bought mine but the pictures don't do them justice and they look a million dollars in the flesh.
Has anybody seen the Recaro R32 styley seats with interlagos cloth centres at www.fischermotorsport.de, they are the b@@llocks, but at a price 2200 euro's each!!! makes me want to keep an eye out for some R32 recaros and have them retrimmed to suit.
