After 3 long and very boring months or being Mr mundain, the Bus just had to go! :party:
Convinced the wife we needed another GTi so i raided the piggy bank for this!!!

Loved My 3 whole weeks of ownership!!!, gave up on the idea of an edition30 being that dealers wanted too much money for the Spec i wanted.
Then the worst thing happened.......... after empting the savings for the grey one, this Red one appears to the dismay of the wife!, although got some cash back as a softner in her eyes, and havent regretted from this day... Welcome Phylis to the Family :drool:

true love :)

true love :)
soo true :happy2:
-
You're deffo better off where you are now Steve :)
The Ed30 looks purposeful, the Laser Blue looks a bit standard with the black trim etc :( It's a real shame that VW didn't just make the GTI with body coloured bits from day one. I think it's something on the Ed30 that really sets it apart from the rest of the range.
Gonna have to put my car and yours nose to nose... see the height difference :)
-
Oh, and the Pescara's are Soooooooo much nicer than the Monzas :happy2: :xmaslaugh:
-
a nice array of cars there mate. How did you go from bi-xenons to halogen?
-
Gorgeous ED30 mate, but Phylis is a bit of a fruity name for an aggressive motor :P
Pearl are the Volkswagen of boats :drool:, lol, where was the shot with the boat taken if you dont mind me asking :happy2:

^^^Lol just spotted the sigged quote! :grin:
The car looks soooo good. It makes me jealous! Unfortunately, CF black trim doesn't contrast too well on a black car.
-
She looks the biz Steve! :happy2:

Looks stunning Steve, massive improvement :drool: :drool:

Small steps, but really good ones. Keep it up Steve :happy2:
Remap and suspension and it'll be spot on :wink:

Transforms what was already a very beautiful Ed30 into something very special.
You now need to do the rear VW badge! :happy2: 8) :happy2:

looks great :)

@ Phil:
I might add that seeing how exceptionally clean and shiny your car is I am always instantly filled with two thoughts : -
1 - I feel disgusted at my own inability/laziness/unwillingness to invest so much time and energy into achieving such a high standard of detailing/finish.
2 - I think to myself "F*ck it! What's the point? Everytime I spend a mere 2 hours just handwashing my car it usually needs cleaning again a few days later because of English weather. I'm simply not prepared to turn into my father and wash my car religiously every Sunday. Actually he often made me wash his car!
:happy2:
-
There's nothing wrong with getting someone else to do it RR, even if it's just once in a while. Go on....treat the car to a detail...you know you want to!
I clean my car as often as possible, more to protect the paint than anything else. No point trying to keep a car to 150k if the paint fails before the engine does!

I have enough spare to do that :happy2:
cheers for your kind words peeps :drinking:

Steve, this mod has COMPLETELY transformed the look of your car. It looks superb. Its really how the ED30 kit (and similarly on the GTI) should have come out of the factory.
:happy2: :happy2:

Looking Very very 8) 8) Steve :happy2:

Unfortunately, CF black trim doesn't contrast too well on a black car.
silver does though :happy2:
looks amazing Phil , and those silver wheel caps really stand out as diff in those new photos :drinking:

Images...
Not meaning to hijack the thread but what do people think to red lower lip and rear valance and carbon front mask on a black car?
Photoshop anyone?
-
^^^Have a look at Greenouse's thread. He's got a red lower lip. Hasn't touched the rear valance (yet!).
-
....
In my opinion, on black car : -
- Red Lower Lip = OK on a black car but depends too on the wheels. (50/50)
- Red Rear Valance = Will look cheap and overdone. (Yuk!)
- Carbon Front Mask = OK as it's quite subtle. (OK)
-
Hmm still undecided, I like the lower red splitter but unsure about the back valance and rather than the cf look front mask I think a matte finish would look better.
Need to get a photochop on the go.
-
good job :happy2: :smiley:
