My new Edition 30
« on: 18 June 2007, 22:44 »
14 weeks after ordering, its finally here!  I'm afraid the pics aren't great as they were taken with my phone.
Spec: Steel Grey, 3 door manual, Highline Computer, Front Center Armrest, Xenons, Rear Tints.  I currently have the poor RCD300 - but have an Alpine iDA-X001 and Alpine KCE-300BT on order to fit.  I'm half way through my Micro Roadpilot install... but the car is at the dealer for the next few days getting a scratch (that was there when I got it!!) fixed, and a problem with the passangers door not unlocking fixed! (great for a brand new car!)
Despite my downers, I'm trying to stay positive (currently driving a 1.2 Polo courtesy car!) because driving the Ed30 is amazing!  Hopefully she'll be back on Wed or Thu and I can take her out for a good few hundred mile run at the weekend and get acquainted properly  :evil:

On arrival, she was treated to a quick hosing then cleaned with Meguiars NXT Generation Car Wash and a microfibre mitt.  A good rub dry with a Meguiars Water Magnet towel, before applying Meguiars Stage 2 Deep Crystal Polish.  After this, I applied 2 coats of Harley Pure Carnauba wax until she was shining!  Now she's sitting at the dealers with a poster on the front seat saying 'Please Do Not Wash This Car'!!!  I dont want those monkeys wiping off my wax and swirling my paint!

Anyway - heres a couple of pics!  This is the first time I've posted pics, so I hope it works!

You did indeed!  I was going to ask the same thing!
I'd just left my girlfriends up at Rubislaw and decided I'd take a wee detour home to Dyce via Balmedie!
It turned out to be a bad move, as one hundred million beasties were attracted to my Xenons and splated everywhere  :sick:

That's one of the best looking ED30's I've seen so far.   :drool:

Good work!

Nice wheels! I nearly went for that colour too.

I've yet to spot another ED30 in my area (Kent) - which is nice in one way but I'd be cool to pull up along side another too  :wink:

Very very nice car mate!

This may sound funny to you all....... But I saw my first R32 yesterday!!!

(must have been new) But he must have used launch control at that robot but it just left our Pajero behind... Even in sport mode with tiptronic we just saw it fly :evil: :evil:

Was pitch black and sooo hot.  :rolleyes:

Go figure. it only just came out in South Africa :drool:
