My Edition 30 has arrived - with PHOTOS!

[Ollieb7]

I have an old 1970 VW Camper if I want to be sensible(ish)

Nice one!

[illyun]

Looks awesome. We should def all meet up in the summer....

I think its a great idea... - my Ed 30 is going from the dealers straight into my garage and will stay there until the following work is done:

Boot Liner
Seat Covers – front and back except drivers
Autoglym Lifeshine
Stonechip Protection
Waxoyl everywhere - apart from the windscreen 
Number Plate - bought a personalised plate for the car - E30 VW... beat that

Then it will come out on sunny days only.
And by the summer of 2008...
LSD
Re-Map - still wondering about warranty issues
Carbon Bonnet
Carbon Hatch
Carbon Side Mirrors
Carbon Skirting – replica
BBS Alloys Air II - not sure about these as I spoke to the guy at www.mstuning.co.uk


All mods reversible though - don't want to butcher the car...

Hi illyun,

Any ideas on where to source carbon bonnets?

[illyun]

Yup... I've found a supplier - I'll have to look their website up on my home PC and get back to you... if enough of us want one maybe we can get a reduced price.

Also Illyun, have you found a stone chip protection pack yet? I've looked into this but not come up with much other than ventureshield but I'm not convinced how invisible it is??

Are you getting seat covers with the wooden knobbly bits??

Finally... I assume you have got Autoglym Lifeshine for less than VW would offer it at? What is waxoyl?

[Simonet]

I can't believe you bought that plate!!!

I looked about two weeks ago

E3 OVW  £545 + Vat and Transfer fee!

I thought about it, mulled it over, asked a few people.... "GET IT BOUGHT" they said

I went back and... it was GONE!!

Well done though, it will look superb and at least you're a fellow member.

....only slightly miffed!

I think the Golf is one of a very few cars that does look good in 5 doors.

I agree,

Thirded.

The deal breaker for me is that the 5-door car is actually no bigger in terms of length than the 3 door.

I can't see why you want a 3 door when the overall car size is the same.

[illyun]

Three door looks 

But for those who have families - I do, but I don't care  - five-door is a good option

I tried hard to find E30 VW or even better E30 GTI - but for some reason was not able to use i and the numbers only go upto 20 - really annoying.  I will have to be creative with the lettering while also staying within the tight confines of the law - for the sake of Mr Gatso    It will probably go on like so... E3 0.VW with a blackened screw head or something between the O and VW

I'll get back to you on the stonechip protection - I don't think its ventureshield - because its on my home pc.  I paid £250 for Autoglym Lifeshine for my 06 GTI and it made a difference, but you can get the packs that the dealers use for £10 from ebay.  I have three such packs each with a big label saying 'dealer use only'    The only thing you don't get is the big green bag with about £40 worth of Autoglym products - big deal.  I already have the bag.  The dealers mostly charge for labour as it does take a few hours to do.  I'm paranoid about my Edition 30 and am not letting a dealer allow some spotty young kid to go over the car - I've seen them at work with a jet wash and wasn't impressed as he was getting very close to the paint with a high-powered jet which can damage the lacquer.  As for waxoyl, you can get it from Halfords... its mostly used to keep old Mk1's and Mk2's from turning into rust buckets - like greasy wax.  I'ill be applying it liberally to the Edition 30 in places that are vunerable even though its galvanised cause I'm mad
