Hi all,
Just thought I'd post a quick thread of my new baby. I haven't had a chance to properly clean her up as yet but I'll post some more pictures when I've given her a quick going over. I don't have any huge plans in terms of mods but there's a few styling things I'd like to do. Few stats;
55,000 miles
DSG gearbox
MFSW with highline comp
Winter pack
Xenon headlights
Completely unmodified
Has built in sat nav etc but isn't RNS510... Haven't worked out what model it is yet but I'll post some pics later to see if anyone can shed some light (need to update the maps etc)
6 CD autochanger
Parrot Bluetooth system (haven't got this working yet)
Also hasn't got the build number plaque so will try and get this from VW. Anyone else have any experience of this?

Enjoy :smiley:

Good find and we'll specked golf

Well she's just come back from a 450 mile round trip to Manchester and had a nice clean up. I'm half way through a list of silly little 'mods' including;
Boot liner
GTI mats
Edition 30 badge for the front grill
MFD2 maps and software update
GTI badges for the front seat height adjusters
White LED interior lights
I'm sure I'll move onto a few crazier things once I've got some money back in the bank!

Looks stunning Jake. If I can find an Edition 30 as nice as this, I will be one happy man :driver:

Lovely car bud :happy2:

Thanks guys. Hopefully the weather will hold this weekend so I can give her a proper clean up

Lovely car, bet your itching to give it a proper clean now! :signLOL:

I picked up these seat inserts from eBay and they got delivered really quick and did the job nicely (delivery was much quicker than my mfd2 update DVDs that's for sure!!

I actually ordered exactly the same ones a couple of weeks ago but I've not received them as yet! Any pictures of yours fitted?

I recently bought some black spray paint with the intention of spraying my front grill. Unfortunately the British weather has had other ideas so I got impatient and used some Autoglym Bumper and Trim Gel... I'm really happy with how it's come out, you can see the difference in colour between the top and bottom sections! Now it's just a case of seeing how long it will last....

Great looking Silver Eddy with a nice spec, reminds me of my old one. :happy2:

Nice car mate! & good shout with the bumper gel, will be trying it on mine :happy2:

I carried out some small but essential mods over the weekend! Finally fitted the Edition 30 badge to the front grill (which looks great) as well as the boot pop kit that @Scoobykiller (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=14018) kindly sold to me. I also finished off the lower section of the grill with the Autoglym gel so that looks the nuts now. Finally, I gave her a good old clean up and she was good to go. It was also a bit cold this morning..... I'll add the photos on another comment.

Great looking car there.
Good to see a fellow member in Ipswich. :happy2:
Enjoy! Will have to see if we can get a meet going if there is enough interest...

Thanks mate. Thats funny actually, I was only thinking earlier that I haven't seen another edition 30 since I've had mine!
Yeah definitely. If not, we can have our own private ed 30 meet haha
