I am not usally one for putting "kits" on my cars but I have always had alittle gripe with VW on the stlying of the Edition 35 and have always felt they got lazy with it.

They made an effort with the front bumper by creating the bottom center section gloss black and adding the front spliiter lip and the gloss black mirrors but that's where it ended.

We got the standard GTi Spoiler and rear defuser. I came across the ECS tuning rear lip spoiler and what I liked about this over the cheap £40 ones or the Maxton designs ones is it looked more OEM+ and more like what VW did with the Edition 40. I also like that it fits well and it's easily reversable too.

I will likely fit the Reiger gloss black rear defuser next as I feel the ECS one looks far to aggressive and the Reiger is more OEM+ and thankfully also ALOT cheaper.

I got rid of my Banner EFB and put in a Bosch AGM a year or two ago, just code it with OBD11 or VCDS.

No way banner is the original. They were usually varta

Welcome to the club of white GTI’s.

Thanks everyone, really enjoying it now. I was so used to my mk7.5 GTi, then the system change is massive. Totally used to it now. I always knock off the stop start, lane assist and another one, there’s a little sub menu from the top of the screen,knock them all off as soon as I’m in, let the oil circulate for a couple of mins before my commute

Used to get the mk7.5 to hit the 40/42mpg occasionally on my regular commute, this one’s doing 44/45 nearly every day. Apart from Saturdays. Saturdays are much more ‘spirited’ shall we say
