Yup, the guy also said that the head of the Ed30 was different to the normal GTI - i.e. uprated.

What are the main differences between the two??
From what I can see, the ED30 has 30BHP more, and has colour coded rear bumper, along with a little extra trim around the car. Are these the only differences, or does the ED30 come with some additional features as standard?

The main difference is the owners.
We normal GTI owners have nothing to prove and usually arrive in one piece, the Anniversary owner does have something to prove and has a few more prangs.

Both are good cars that become great cars if fitted with the magic DSG.

It's actually the freaky R32'ers that have a lot to prove.

You can get a few months old one (3,300 miles) for £17,000.  If that cost £25,000 when new it's lost £8,000.  Say £1,000 per month.
If I was loosing £33 a day on a car I wouldn't crash it either.
