So far, Not impressed - Doesn't look "very special" as an Edition 35 owner, I would expect it to be set out abit - looks like any other white 8.5 GTi to me.

No exclusive wheels or bumpers or even splitters from what I can see.
Every "edition" that has come out has had at least an exclusive set of wheels made by BBS.

BBS declared themselves insolvent last year (not for the first time). The suspension component manufacturer KW automotive acquired all of BBS’s assets so production of BBS branded alloys could well commence again soon, but probably not in time to produce a set of exclusive wheels for the Edition 50 Golf GTI.

The Belvederes on the CS40 were made by Fuchs not BBS and I’m pretty sure the Scottsdale wheels on the Ed45 weren’t BBS although they were German made.

Even if it was using an optional extra handling pack and slick tyres…  :whistle:😁

Wow Tornado red is making a comeback!

The seats do look great on this.

VW have made much more effort with these changes compared with the Polo GTI 25 years or any other recent anniversary models.

Tornado red looks great. The seats are also gorgeous. I'm a fan of the seatbelts. It's a special car, it should be a bit fun.

Not so sure on the pedals and the wheel accents. I'll have to see more pics of the wheels to make up my mind.

The spinner caps come as standard which is a nice little touch. Might pick these up for mine, as soon as I can muster up the courage to close my eyes and hit buy.

320hp vs 300hp for the CS. They've eked out a little more from it. It'll be interesting to see if any reviewers think it makes any difference.

The performance pack seems to be quite aggressive, probably completely so they could set the record time on the ring. It comes with semi slick tyres. I wonder if it'll be 'too much' for road use.
