Very nice BMX and the cars not bad as well! opps better be careful with what I say as we live in the same region! :rolleyes:

The pictures are great. Nice to see one in showroom condition. The black car looks very well indead. The interior looks better than I thought it would.
Now to the wheels...........They look good but, I think they would have looked better in a lighter silver.

The Monza IIs are the most perfect wheel for the GTi and VW got it spot on with those. So its very hard to improve on them. If they had done an all steel grey Monza wheel for the Edition 30 everyone would would say that there was not different enough .  Also everybody has got used to seeing the GTI on Monzas for the last few years.

They don't get it right all the time. Look at the 25th Anni excellent wheels, not too hot on the body mods. ( ready for the flaming :evil:)

Nice pics there BMX.  My dealer also has a demo in the showroom.  I was hoping to avoid going in the showroom to have a look, so that the first ed 30 i'd lay my eyes on would be my own car - just to add to the surprise/excitement - but i can't resist (its your fault bmx! :wink:) - will have to have a look tomorrow! :grin:  Can't really go by these pics - have to see one in the flesh, although the cars look pretty awesome (esp the black one!)

Found some more pics of a candy white one with black monzas; finally figured out how to post pics on the thread :nerd:









Again, i think i'd have to see the car for real, especially with black alloys.

Quick lowering job (I'm sure they must have the shipping spacers in, or the suspension has yet to settle) and a subtle darkened rear diffuser

gonna get some decals made for the front and rear valances in black satin vinyl,  there is an edge to go to on the rear and it looks so much better (as in your pic above) would anyone else be interested? bulk buy would get the price down im guessing

correct me if im wrong but i recon the white one would look class with the middle of the bonnet black, perhaps the roof as well? Im not normally a fan of that kinda look but recon it would suit it (after its sittin lower!)

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

I'm glad we opted for black in the end also, looks nice and should look even better with xennons.

Wheel thing is a mystery to me as everyone says BBS CH's are the choice to go for wheels other than monza's so why do they get slated now?????

My only crit is that they really should have been 19's, with more options ticked as standard.

Oh well still looking forward to getting ours.

Good choice BMX on the mrs front too.  :cool:
