OK Guys - seen the Black ED30 in Gilbert Lawton today (Cheshire).
In Black it looks great (even the wheels do it for me).

I have had the current MK5 GTI nearly two years and am not disappointed with the way the new one looks.
Now then, I am nontechnical but I had the bonnet up and wow - all sorts of new big pipes at the front of the engine leading to what I think is the new Turbo (looks like it came off a Euro Fighter  :grin: :grin:) - looks impressive.
Couldn't start the engine (not allowed indoors but I can hear the growl already).

Two disappointments (very minor) - Red edged Mats are absolutely Naff  :sick:
And those penny pinching VW Folks have taken away the Aluminum Astray cover and replaced with black plastic (why do they do this stuff) :sick: :sick:.

Anyone know if you can get the Aluminum cover elsewhere - it really sets the the center consol/arm rest thingy off ????
Otherwise - looks the business.  I have full leather currently and the new seats look great.

Wish Jan and Feb would end quicker  :smiley:

Has anyone fitted the Ali Ashtray Cover - is it easy (would need to be for me)  :grin:

Also - these are the Mats to get for the ED30

Does anyone know how to swap over the ashtray lid?

Also do all GTis have the red LED down lighting by the rear view mirror?

Cheers.
Bye Bye Edition 30

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


Count me in - i've been planning this all along - the rear end so much needs finishing!

Great to see a light colour 3 door with black wheels! :tongue:
