It looks brilliant, Garwen!

Good pointers by Joe too. I also would ask to double and triple check they take out the transport blocks. Sometimes they ‘forget’

For the wheel caps, I was under the impression you had to the spec the £160 something option as dynamic wheel caps when configuring it? UK website doesn’t show it as standard. If not, well sh!t I spec’ed the wrong thing but adding that option, I didn’t know they were standard spec.

Yeah I’m not actually 100% sure they are standard either but pretty much every press shot shows them and VW’s own configurator images show them fitted too as you build the car. Agree, they don’t make it very clear though.

Wise advice Joe

She said thanks  and is flattered as she’s been buying golfs for the last 40 years 😂😂😂😂

The years have been kind to her and obviously you have too! Lucky lady!
Granddaughter is a cutie as well.
She’s a year ahead of me, I’m on 39 years and bought my first at 19 (although my first, by chance, wasn’t actually a Golf but shared the same chassis, engine and underpinnings - it was a mk1 Scirocco GTI)
So a similar age, I hit 58 tomorrow, and don’t have an Ed50 to look forward to all wrapped up with a bow on it  😁

It’s a nice car for your detailer to get to do his thing with too, one of the very first UK Ed50’s 
Definitely a car worthy of some special TLC

Although I am curious why there is no centre cap on the wheel?

They are added during PDI, or during detailing.

The ED50 will only be 1000 in the uk it’s 100% a limited car

Wonder if it will get that high! TCR was also sub 1000 before the run ended but not numbered like the 50 looks to be.

And I believe there were just under 700 Edition 40s

570 Ed40s were built and imported for the UK out of the 1,000 build slots that were originally allocated.
