My Edition 30
SlammedGTi:
Well after another long search for the right car I have nailed it on the head again, so pleased.
Set out looking for a MK5 Golf Gti in black/grey pref, 3 door manual and 17' alloys, not the chav 18', for the right price with Cambelt, Flywheel and Clutch, you wouldn't think that was hard, but it was.
I managed to get myself all of the above with the bonus of it being the ED30 and then a triple bonus of R32 brakes, Eibach springs and new shocks and a Miltek exhaust, very happy. Spotted it while I was away in Thailand so I hoped that when I got back to England it wasn't sold. On my arrival back to the UK it turned out to be from my colleagues friend, who's a dealer. Went to view straight away and left a deposit there and then with a cracking' deal of friend discount.
I was so happy with the purchase my eyes glazed over on viewing and I ended up checking nothing electrical wise, however all is good.
Another bonus was the Spec, nearly every factory option bar the bucket seats (if they we're an option?) IIRC.
Plans: Being a KO4 and living 3 miles from Revo, it'll be rude not to get it mapped. This'll take place in Spring I would have thought.
Enough of the bore, I could go on forever, never really been PLEASED with a car purchase as much as this.

Fantastic, I'm recently in the same boat with a newly purchased ED30 with S3 brakes also! Mine is looking pretty similar, going to wash it tomorrow! Enjoy, much else planned with it? :happy2:

Great car you have there - looks like it has factory Sat Nav too, with the sharkfin aerial set-up.
Looks like the previous owner was a bit of an enthusiast too, from the choice mods - does it have a ED30 plaque / build number already?

Correct. Yes the previous owner did these choice modiciations. I would have done the exact same so saved me a lot of money. It doesn't have a plaque I don't believe, I thought these were aftermarket ?

Such great brakes, I hear the standard ones are pretty crap ! Nothing planned, just a map and that's it. Will probably move onto an S3 in a year.
