I'm now in a MK5 Edition 30
Not the best spec - highline dash, parking sensors, armrest, sliding cup holder, factory tints, electric folding mirrors with puddle lights and that's it. Here's some pics.
Day I got it nice and shiney

My first mods - removed GTI badge from boot, black 'VW' and colour coded backing, Alu seat adjuster inserts, and Edition 30 badge for front grille

I know this is temporary but takes a couple minutes and the finish is nice and matte.

How did you stick the edition 30 badge to the grill m8Just sticks on, bud. It's an OEM bootlid badge.
Just make sure the grille is clean and free from any dressing.
Post by: scopes on October 13, 2015, 09:27:15 pm
It looks brand new :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
The changes you made, have made such a big difference , keep up the good work.
What is the "magic sponge" you used to clean your steering wheel?
Mine has started to go shiney and I would be happier getting it looking more matte.
:happy2: Is that a "FAST" on your dash ? :congrats:

The magic sponge is a flash one I think. Heard them be called erasers too.Just soaks with water, wring it out and Scrub away rinsing out every now and again.
And yeah, it's a 'Fast'!

Can't see why not. The leather in the golf is already plastic coated so wouldn't get the same matte finish.

Had mine coming up to 4 years now.
The white magic erasers are also available on ebay for a few pence each, but can be very harsh. I also use them, gently on the interior to remove the shine that appears on the steering wheel and seats etc...

Cheers. I'm using Philips Xenon look bulbs. £30 a pair I'm sure they were.
Beam pattern I can't comment on as yet because it's only been driven in daylight.

So after fitting my intake I didn't like how the bay was looking so set about cutting down my engine cover to get it back on.Excellent work mate. If and when I get round to fitting an intake I'll come back to this thread for reference.

On another note my interior lights keep blowing the fuse. Soon as I offer up a new one and it makes contact it goes!
Guessing I've a bad LED?
So I'll remove and refit all original lights then if they work I'll put in one LED at a time and see how that pans out.

Still haven't got to the bottom of the 'bearing' noise - just been advised to leave it and see if it worsens to make a diagnosis easier.
However developed a misfire the other day - at anything close to WOT the CEL flashed and got a horrendous vibration through the wheels.
Figured it'd be one of the coilpacks as they're fairly common to go on these.
So ordered up R8 coils and NGK Iridium IX plugs.
Straightforward job - was stuck for a minute as the socket I had wouldn't keep a hold of the old plugs.
Scratched my head for a while then decided to use the old coils to grab a hold of them - worked spot on.
Turns out all the coils bar one looked brand new. Plugs looked a little worse for wear. On near 83k miles now so prob well overdue a change.
Anyway - some pics.
Excuse the filthy bay - had no time as rain was on and off like a hoors drawers.

Had a CNC glass bung sitting for years and never put it to use.
Wiper was a pain in the arse to get off as was the boot trim.
Tidies up the rear. Applied 3 coats of AMRain as per instruction (horizontal, vertical and circular) so hopefully does the job.
Some pictures

I've always been dubious too but I felt like I had to do something and the I had the bung handy so thought I'd be as well try it out.

Awesome looking ed30 here!

I actually can't remember the height off the top of my head.
It's between 30mm and 20mm tho I think - for GTI anyway.

My car still had the original that came with the car. Was fairly manky. Gasket looked good. I'd bought one anyway.

Took the car out a drive afterwards. Noticeable difference. Especially nearing full throttle and in higher gears.
Can only guess I was losing some pressure on the old one.

I was thinking about changing my PCV but then when I looked I noticed I had the latest revision, not sure I will bother now unless I get some major symptoms.
If you're on the latest revision then I'd not bother - especially if you've no symptoms of failure.

Should have changed them before the needed replaced.
Passed it's MOT with the only advisory being one of the rest tyres bejng slightly worn on the inside edge.
Happy with that.
Gave it a quick wash today - was filthy. Though silver does hide it well.

On another note my interior lights keep blowing the fuse. Soon as I offer up a new one and it makes contact it goes!
Guessing I've a bad LED?
So I'll remove and refit all original lights then if they work I'll put in one LED at a time and see how that pans out.
How do you remove the grab handles? just trim tool and pry? thinking about wrapping them in alcantara

Thanks, my mate used to use the Poorboys black on his Ed 30 so that's another recommendationBit slow updating but couple new additions.Really nice example, almost exactly same as mine. My pillars are starting to age a bit as well so looking at pillar covers, would love to see them in the flesh as dont want them to look too cheap and chavvy as I'm an old giffer
Carbon mirror housings and pillar covers. Couple of my pillars were starting to look tired so these freshened them up.

MOT's due when I'm home again, and it's just taxed.
Always something.

Thanks! I'm near 40 myself so no youngster. Haha.
I recommend the covers - relatively cheap solution.
I use Poorboys white diamond the AMGlaze then use AMSeal afterwards.
All really easy to use - I've not got a machine polisher.
You don't have a link or eBay number or seller ID for the covers do you mate, want as quality as possible and yours look sweet as.

Can't remember if it was the pillars or mirror housings but I was charged £18...
