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.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

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.
