Then the cost to change isn't too bad IMHO, but only if you really think your going to get benefit from going to an ED30. :happy2:

Thats what im wondering, i like quick cars and im looking at 50bhp over the gti, but im still not 100% convinced i should buy it, i do want it though.
It felt mad driving a standard car again, from what i rememberd though the ed30 sounded better than the standard gti, i did expect it to be quicker as standard though, it was no where near the same pace as my gti, obviously that would change once 2+ed, like you say though im not sure if its worth it for me, but at 2 years newer and 30k less on the clock its tempting.

Yea i know mate, i really wanted the xenons that was about it TBH, ill be taking the RNS 510 to this car and probably retro fitting the ipod connector and arm rest.

What do you think of the price and the price offered for mine Nathan ?, the car is spot on it has a little light scratching to the back quarter (probably polish out) and its had a little touch up on the wing other than that its all good, 16k on the clock too it seems like a decent price, the guy in the garage said the phone has been off the hook with interested buyers, so ill probably need to act quick if i want it.

Yeah the man is delusional. He has had it easily for 6 months and only dropped a grand recently. I watch it out of morbid curiosity really.
