Nice car, but lose the Edition 30 badge. If it's a not a genuine Ed30, don't badge it as one. Sorry, but badging cars as something they are not is a real pet peeve of mine.

It looks like one, has the same turbo and 330bhp! I know what you are saying but its not like a 1.4 dressed and badged as a gti/R32. That really peeves me off (sadly lol)

Besides...Its not as if VW didnt cheat you out of the special edition thing anyway... They over produced... By a couple of hundred...

Besides that the car is in South Africa. We didnt even get a sniff of an edition 30 or a pirelli. We only got a couple of .:R's and to be quite frank its not as if everyone in SA has a badged Edition 30. Let the guy have his fun.

His car looks great and has everything an Edition 30 has. Except the interior... Big dealio...  :kiss:

Agreed. However, the Ed30 is (or at least was supposed to be) a limited edition car and the OP's car is not an Edition 30 so I think badging it as such is a bit silly.

Anyone who knows about GTI's will be able to tell on close inspection that it's not an Ed30, i.e no red stitching in the cabin, different seats etc..

Granted, he's done some serious mods to the car and 330bhp is very impressive, but the fact remains he is trying to pass the car off as something it's not. That's my only issue with it.
