With the foam boot inserts you loose about 10cm depth in the boot. Distance between the floor level and the underside of the parcel shelf becomes 43cm with these in there.
With the rear seats folded down you don't have a level floor with these in either, although I tend to avoid folding the rear seats if I can as I've found that the seatbelt sockets tend to mark the leather.

Just north of London, doubt it's me as I've yet to see another silver Edition30 on the road near me or anywhere for that matter.
Seen all other colours for the Edition30 on the road now except silver & white!

Thanks for the reply re; boot space Ron. I have a spare Pescaro (£80 off e-Bay 2 years ago) which I keep on the boot floor ( a bit messy) so may now go for your option,which until I saw your item I didn't know existed. By the way I have put on the cheap BBS "CH" wheels which look fantastic (PW Motorsport) and am keeping originals - and original mats on one side. Rubber mats ,by the way are very useful for wet, wintry weather -- YES , I have 3 sets of mats in total -sad or what ? !!
I have a silver 5 door DSG . In the past I've had 'em all. Mk 1 Lotus Cotinas , Elan Sprint, V12 E-Type DH with chrome wires (9,000 miles) , Cosworths (all types) 2 x Integrales (BRILLIANT CARS in beautiful condition , but so expensive labour wise to service and repair). I still have a 1991 Mk 2 GTI (had from new - 90,000 miles) (Selling) (see Pistonheads) My favourite car of all time ...........The Edition 30 ............ ...I LOVE IT - BRILLIANT CAR !! ..... .... Oh , forgot to mention...I used to be a hairdresser!!. I didn't mention the 2 MGB's (on purpose !)...you know what , I just couldn't get on with them !!!
Thanks again Ron. I have priced up the boot raising option and it looks to be around the £100 mark. You just needs a VW parts man that's on your your side and is prepared to do a little research for you.
Cheers for now,
Paul.

Ah, ok, not you then. I see a silver, grey and white one virtually everyday. Quite common round my way, often being driven by mums on the school run too. Along with a few of R32s. What a waste.

Thanks for the photo and advice on the boot / full size wheel set up. Got the bits and sorted it. (approx £100) A bit of clenched fist needed to get everything into place - the sort of job you do in a third of the time the second time around. But , fantastic. I didn't believe it would be so good.
Thanks again Ron. Happy Christmas and an even happier 2010. Probably will be IF (don't count on it!!) we can get rid of G.B. et al !!
Regards, Paul.
