...or even bonfire.

HI guys,
already purchased a formal suit for the big day its a  metallic silver colour to go with my car with red piping on the trousers resembling the tasteful floormats on the Ed30,what are you all wearing?

I have bought white pants, shoes and a jacket, and black tight t-shirts.

And I also have black-red-white t-shirt, polo, and sweater, all with red GTI logo on the chest.

I cant justify spending out at least 12 grand to get a version of a GTi that i currently already own,(housemove and Baby Arrival) i dont want a basic spec ed30 cus i think that would be very backward move. Im not gutted as all you edition 30 owners would think i am and keep harping on or jumping on the band wagon about it, .If i didnt discover the VW GTi last september then i guess i would of looked into it, but im in no way disapointed with what i have, and thats something is my pride and joy, and its blue! so sorry to piss on the bonfire so to speak

blue is great, I give you that

I'm going for a more understated look. Steel grey dinner jacket with red piping and red stitching, and half leather sleeves.

The calm before the storm. Soon there will be all out war between GTi and ED30.

By the way to anyone that doesnt know this clearly is a joke !

What do you mean its a joke?    I got my invite and it was embossed in gold with the offical Royal stamp on it.  You must be one of those jealous normal/inferior GTI owners who can't accept that you're not invited to the party

Only £22500 for the edition 30 , i thought the resales values where ment to be way higher then standard GTi's, looks like i was right in saying there would be no difference between whether you have one with nasty red piping or not!.(also Volkswagen.co.uk used search is the same). That means ill have to shell out for an edition 30 just so that i can say , ive had tea with elizabeth on the lawn!! 

You make me laugh Phil. One minute you hate the ED30, next minute you'll buy one when the prices drop, next minute the misses says you can't have it despite wanting it, next minute it's crap!

I'm happy with my GTi as the saving over an ED30 enabled me to buy a house, and I've never really gone in for tuning cars so the ability to get 310bhp doesn't matter to me.

He's a closet Edition 30 lover

  do you mean somebody actually think this is for real?! 
 

There are some who probably do... 

There'ill probably be a petition on the 10 Downing St website asking why standard GTI owners aren't invited

Thing is (and this is not an inflammatory comment,  more of a question) can the ED30 handle 310BHP?  Extra power is no good without better underpinnings...

Personally I like the both the ED30 and the GTi, I went for the GTi as I couldn't afford the ED30 - simple choice for me..    I must say that I do prefer the body coloured coding on the ED30 and I reckon VW should have done that on all GTi's... i just dont't like the unpainted skirts black bits... but that is a personal preference.

As for the ED30 v GTi bickering, it's the same as "my dad is harder than your dad" type arguments that always going on in school... and here was I thinking we grew out of them as we got older  

lol... and by the way Northerner, even though I'm from the South, my Edition 30 is harder than your GTI

I haven't got anything to wear - spent all my money on the Ed 30... I'll have to go naked - au naturel.

Ive decided to go in traditional Scottish wear......so that'd be the ED30/GTI family tartan kilt with a leather and red piped sporran. The jacket and shoes colour coded of course
