My Candy White Edition 30 GTI
wilsy_:
Been meaning to upload some photos of this for a while.
Sold my Polo GTI at the end of June.
Didn't know what to buy, but soon narrowed my choices down to a BMW z4, Leon Cupra or an Edition 30. I finally decided and found a silver Edition 30 in a VW dealer in Newcastle. Deal seemed awesome, so payed the deposit straight away, and arranged the pick up date. After this was confirmed I booked flights/ferries etc, to be called two days before I was due to go over to be told they wouldn't be able to sell me the car any more. This really shafted me, as I was now out of pocket almost 500 pound. I then found a local Edition 30 in Candy white, with 64k, full VW service history.
Car came with Coilovers, the rear valance painted and some front tint.
And some photos of it being practical. Didn't want to use a roof-rack on this, but it had to be done unfortunately.
Out for a drive last Friday night, and a Coilpack went. So friend who works in TPS got me some Audi R8 Coilpacks, for almost the same price as the standard ones. Then found a second hand Revo Intake about 20 miles from me, so picked it up the other night, then going for a stage 1 Revo map tonight. Also stuck the 911 oil/coolant caps I had on the polo on.
Plans for now are to try and stop myself going stage 2 before next summer.
Wheel spacers all round, thinking 10mm Front/15mm Rear. Will need new tyres in the next few months so will possibly drop down a size.
PCV Delete, change the diverter valve.
RCD 310/510

Are those R8 Coil packs :confused: or are all the Eddy one red like that?
Car looks amazing though, so did the Polo.

What brakes do people go for? Are s3 breaks much of an upgrade? Or would you be better going for better ones?
