I think the ED30 is a good step up as its more grown up and offers a good blend of comfort and speed!

Keep looking. Going second-hand means you are less likely to find the car with everything on the checklist.

I sacrificed - highline comp/xenons/lux pack/parking sensors/cruise control when I went for the one I had. It came with an armrest and ipod connection and RCD500. Nothing else but because they gave me a good deal on it and I could have it quickly, I went for it.

The only regret I have is scratching it!

Good decision! I'm sure you won't regret it.

Your very right, we only live once - thats exactly the same attitude I adopt to things like this!

Keep us updated on the cars you find!!  :smiley:

I would seriously consider it if he removed the mods. Im surprised he hasn't as he would get alot of money if he splits it!

Sometimes mods can put people off wanting the car...i'm abit picky like that.

Cheers, although i doubt i will find my perfect one (white with leather and xenons!)

None come with full leather unless it was custom.  :smiley: But all do come with half leathers as im sure you are aware?

You will always struggle modified though. Yours is actually the best on pistonheads at the mo but mods put people off.

Normal GTI's had leather as an option until recently where it became standard.

On the ED30 and Pirelli you had no options on the trim, so part leather and Interlagos on the ED30 and the Tyre Tread on the Pirelli  :smiley:

Post by: Jkctr on 18 October 2008, 13:35
Ah, that makes sooo much sense now  :laugh:

No wonder my filters with ed30 and leather dont turn anything up lol.

Would like to get some r32 recaros or similar audi ones at some point!

He and I are going to do a couple of cosmetic modifications to the car in the next couple of weeks, and so he is waiting until they are finished before he posts pics! Will probably be around two weeks before he posts pics  :smiley:
