I got the same info today. Now need to see if DTD etc offer discounts.

When I was speaking with DTD to discuss my CS order, I asked about the ED50 and was told categorically that there would be no discounts on the ED50 due to it being a special edition. Whether that stays true is yet to be seen…

I signed up for updates weeks ago and I've heard absolutely nowt. :sad:  For those that have, does it say exactly what the PP comprises of, in particular the wheels?

I’ve just received confirmation the price is £47995 as mentioned in previous posts.
Performance pack is £3675 but it forces you to spec the tyres at £880 so ED50 with PP is £52550.

DCC is standard on the base car, or at least it’s not listed as a separate option, so assume it is standard. Price is £1535 higher than a similar spec Clubsport., assuming DCC is standard on base spec.

Out of interest I calculated the cost of a base ED40 3 door manual no options and it would be £44350 in today’s money - using the BoE inflation calculator.

They are not Zimmerman's, they coat their discs in the anti-corrosive paint entirely whereas SHW only coat the hub and the vents.

SHW are the manufacturer for VW, this can be clearly seen in the second photo where the maker is stamped on the bell housing https://www.killerbrakes.com/product/front-clubsport-s-brake-discs-340x30mm-5q0615301c-new/?srsltid=AfmBOorp3-mkQXc8djn_n9mO2wZbkLN9ODTIOSFcq5EOHXxRGdE2hd_7

I got a great deal on Auto Doc last year for €250 for the pair.

Pads are made by TRW, personally I went with Ate ceramic pads for my SHW discs and wouldn't go back to semi-metallic pads https://www.vagbremtechnic.com/genuine-mqb-clubsport-s-front-brake-pad-set-5q0698151ag/

Finally, yes I also installed matching vented and drilled discs on the back from VBT and they complete the look nicely https://www.vagbremtechnic.com/vbt-drilled-rear-disc-pair-310x22mm-clubsport-s-pattern-5440744126cs/

I think it should have been £299 for each but doing both it was £499 in total.

Is it just when you start from a cold damp weather? And clears after about five minutes of driving?

Or constant bongs while driving?

If its the former it's condensation on the sensors, which clear with heating elements built into them.

If it's the latter then it sounds like the steering wheel... I've heard they are subject to repeat fails...

Slightly off topic - how do people feel about fitting perforated discs on the rear of their GTI's?

Price wise they aren't much more or stick with the OE look?

Is yours just doing it in this cold weather? Mine is and I put it down to ice or mist over the sensors top of the windscreen.
