Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by king monkey on 26 April 2026, 11:14 »
Order cancelled yesterday. After lots of thinking, I’m still not convinced about the ride quality and I’m not buying a car that can’t be discounted.

The Clubsport sticker that runs the full length of the car on the ED40 still looks brand new after nearly 10 years, so I wouldn’t be concerned.

Collected my ED50 today from dealer in the North East 😀 so happy with the colour, there is so much black gloss going on that the red just fits perfect. Wheels compliment it perfectly. Centre spinning caps included as standard, no plaque :(

No pics yet as unfortunately drove it very sensibly straight to the detailers for front end (and side sills) PPF and ceramic coatings next week. Don’t expect it back until Thursday or Friday. Loved it though. info screen is actually really good, velour steering wheel nice, engine noise, nice 🤣 felt the nuts. My only question mark would be the ED50 badges, they are effectively stuck on, which, let’s see how that goes over time.

Sounds great! We need pics.

Yeah the 50 stickers do look pretty flimsy and cheap tbh. I can see them peeling and getting ripped off very easily.

OK, thanks for early responders. I have worked out this looks like the back of new pads. I’ve watched a couple of YouTubes now and maybe I’m being a bit “precious”.

I just kind of lost trust in my “VW Independent Specialists”.

It just looked like a space that ought to have had a protective trim ass it had exposed wire clips and an exposed grease face.
