Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release

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  :cool:
Definitely a car worthy of some special TLC

Looks fabulous Garwen, you must be delighted! Great to see real customer cars coming through and not another press car / YouTuber car!
You should check that the other little "50" details are present and correct, because it wouldn't be unlike VW to "forget" one or more of them:

- the keys - do they have the "GTI 50" logos?
- the wheel centre-caps, they should be the spinner GTI ones, not the static VW ones
- the floor mats, the front mats should have the GTI 50 logos

These items would usually be in a bag in the boot and fitted during PDI.

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

They are added during PDI, or during detailing.
gotcha ta

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.
