Stick with the golf ball ed30 gearing. Can you not get a new one of them?

Mk6 Edition 35.....




Definitely the MK6 Edition 35, i have one in mine!  :happy2:

You can't see from that picture but it still has the golf ball effect on the front face of it where as the standard mk6 gti gear knob doesn't.

^^^^ How true!  :signLOL:

I posted this comment only yesterday in a tread about "what's best, 3 or 5 door". I don't care BUT it had better be Red!!  :love:

5 door for the offspring, 3 door once they left home!  :pomppomp:

Its one car that REALLY does look as good in 3 or 5 door IMO. When I bought mine I had the option of my 3 door Red Mistress or a Candy 5 door? If it had been the other way round I'd have had the 5 door as my main requirement was RED.

Just read through all of this and it's given me a large chunk of inspiration and also admiration. This is simply stunning and if mine is half as nice as this when finished I will be a happy man.

^^^^ WONGA FTW!  :grin:

Which reminds me that I was going to add the cost of each mod to the first page, thought it might help some peeps looking for costs of this or that etc BUT then realised that, god help me, my wife saw it I'd have to explain the discrepancy between the disclosed costs (to her) and the actual costs!!

I remember Martin was saying to me that everytime he spends on the car he has to spend on the misses too..
