I saw the demo model at my local dealers today and i have to say, look completely different when seen in flesh. This car was a red 3dr. The tweeks to the outside look very subtle when compared to the normal gti, it doesn't seem ott, but still looks better and more aggressive than the normal gti imo (which i thought wasn't possible!). Oppostie the ed 30, there was a normal gti in red also, and when comparing the front end, it seemed that something (if anything) was lacking in the normal gti, which is made up for by the ed 30, although the normal gti still did look mean - again differences are very subtle, but the tweeks are spot on, not too ott. However, i still feel the wheels don't do the car justice. Even if they kept the silver monzas on, the car would look spot on - there is no character in the pescara alloys as there is in the 18" monzas. And the interior - again, changes are subtle but it felt much more
different to the normal gti, in a good way. Red stitching isn't as prominent as in the first photos in this thread, and doesn't at all look ott. Tartan cloth with leather looks the biz!
One other thing - i don't know if i'm wrong, but the rear brakes (at least) looked bigger than the ones on the normal gti - maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me, because of the realisation of what i've signed for and the increased excitement and impatience for that one of a kind thursday in March - 46 days (which is tooo long!) to go and counting
