No Edition 30

Perhaps i should colour code, get an Edition 30 badge and some tinted clusters and mine will look exact!.

until you open the bonnet 

IMO VW have really cocked up with the ED30; should have made it more like the previous Anniversary model - limited numbers and colours, 3 doors etc etc

still a great car though and i wouldn't say no to one if given the opportunity; just think its a bit of mess on VW's part

especially now the Pirelli is being numbered. i would be really pissed off if i had an ed30.I do really like the seats in the pirelli over the Scotsmans underpants style in the ed30  .
.............Runs off and hides before onslaught of abuse       although i dont know how the suede effect would last or wear through after a while.

The only problem though Phil is that you would still know that it's not an ed30, whereas I can sit pretty with 300bhp on tap

Where exactly do Pirelli tyres fair in most tyre tests lately???

I don't personally like the Pirellio edition and if I had both the ed30 and Pirelli side by side I wouldn't have bought the Pirelli over the ed30, and before you say I would say that being an ed30 owner, my importer friend gave me the option of having either towards the end of last year and I opted for the ed30 steel grey with Monzas as I didn't like the other type of alloy, not also forgetting that the original ed30 was meant to have black Monzas in the first place

More people would associate the edition badge with the GTI rather than Pirelli imho???

I know, but i could of bought for my 2nd GTi an ed30, but .3 of a second here and there is not the be all and end all with the GTi.
Im really happy with what ive bought, i wanted a high spec GTi and not a poor mans basic ed30. Unfortunatly 25k with the toys i wanted in a ed30 is just not worth it. i'd rather have the more toys which makes my car more desirable then some other 21-22k import ed30 import job.
I could of bought private  for about 20k but couldnt get the money for my Passat that i was offered from my dealer.
Its easy to get my GTi up on pace with a quick visit to Revo, but im not really interested, i will however give a good account of my un touched GTi at santa pod to see how much slower mine is against the rest of modded mk5's

not also forgetting that the original ed30 was meant to have black Monzas in the first place laugh

As it should be then

Very nice,...........looks

I stuck with the silver monzas as the inserts are steel grey and go very nicely with my colour choice too!

You seem to spend alot of time justifying why you bought your GTi Phil, maybe there is a bit of doubt in your mind
