Looking nice, what's the big plan? :happy2:

Looking nice, what's the big plan? :happy2:
well I've always done power 1st, then worried about my handling :thinking: but this time I'm going to start from my interior as I'm going to be spending most of my time :grin: then concentrate on suspension and brakes, leaving power till last :driver:

What plans have you got for the interior?
-
Awww - sorry to hear about your first ED30. Glad to see you've gone for another.
Looks good - have you gone for DSG or manual? How does this compare to your first one?
Don't blame you for starting interior first. That was how I approached mine as it drove so well compared to my old mkiv - felt like it was modified as standard to drive! I added MFSW, RNS510, Highline clocks, then mk6 switches - all of which have made the car feel much more modern.

well I've got some Recaro wingbacks which I will be re-trimming
along with some other mods :smiley:

DSG mate :grin: to be truly honest this one is a lot cleaner and well spec'd to my 1st one.
I've got rns510, reversing rear camera, mfsw, mdi, cruise, xenons with headlight washers, mk6 chrome tipped switches all around. only done 46k but on its 2nd service book, but driving wise my old ed30 was a lot more powerful :jumping: :driver:
-
sorry for the late reply guys, been extremely busy with work :sad1:
-
No worries - know what it's like!
Any plans for adding to the power on the ED30? Can't believe I waited 4 years before stage 1 on mine. What a different car...!
-
Love the red pinstripe! Have you got a link to it?
-
Welcome back :D

Nice. Got mysef a gloss black front badge too.

A brushed aluminium ashtray cover popped on eBay
found it bit strange that the edition 30 doesn't come with a brushed aluminium ashtray but some k03 gti do :thinking:
small little touch but works really well :smiley:
had to get a "edition 30" decal :P :innocent:
