Well cant believe i finally have got my hands on an Edition30 DSG at long last, with the spec i was after. Dvd Sat nav,highline computer, multifunction wheel with paddles,ipod and centre armrest, Rear parking sensors and unbelievably nearly a couple of grand back in my hand!. My local dealer is buying back my Grey GTi for £20000, and have bought the Edition 30 with exact same specification, for an amazing £18500 for a car thats 1 month older then the grey one. Just thrown a bucket at it and valeted the inside and its looks fabulous!.
Here are a few snaps taken this evening. Hope you like them.And a big Thankyou to Claire who sold me her. Hope your as happy with your new evo 9 as i am  :wink:





Had a good run back from Poole in Dorset with a Grey DSG GTi, doing its best to keep up with me, was quite amuzing playing with the other GTi, alot of people smiling etc, of course it was the wife following me in my old car!!!  :laugh:
Both now sat outside my house, grey one will be here for a few days before my dealer delivers me a lovelly cheque!.

Do you still think the std GTi is a 'nicer looking car'?  :smiley:

Well, i have to say, it seems to pull better from 60mph onwards, although havent tried much at slower speeds yet, the wife took it for a drive this evening for her 1st taste of what all the hype and me crying over one for ages and she even said it wants to pull more then the Standard GTi. i love the sound of the turbo in the ed30, its sounds twice as loud then before, more whistle and gush when you lift off the throttle.But the main that i love between the 2 is just the way it looks. Its stunning. It could have the same 200hp engine in it and i really wouldnt care. It just looks more impressive when you look at the pair of them side by side.
One thing i have found though is the dam pescara's are harder to clean!, too many awkward bits!, monza's are easy peasy to clean.
I was offered the car with Black monza's instead of the standard ones, but just prefer the look of the pescara's.
