I collected my GTi last week, been driving everywhere just for the sake of it to get some miles on it. Not really had time to post anything on here till now.
I did briefly consider the ED30, but having seen both i prefered the look of the GTi, interior, wheels and the bumpers.
It's each to their own but i honestly think the unpainted parts look really good, nobody is going to confuse a GTi with a 1.6FSi, because the bottom of the bumper is unpainted, but i personally couldn't care if they did.
The way things are going with the amount of ED30's being sold and people colour coding GTi's the original GTi's will soon become the more exculsive of the two.
