Title: My standard'ish' Reflex Silver Edition 30 - new wheel colour update
Post by: Gladiator on May 25, 2011, 10:35:12 pm: Hi everyone

Just thought I would get some pics of my pride and joy onto the forum :smiley:

Its totally standard but maybe some subtle mods to come in the future, however after seeing some of the awesome motors from other Golf owners on the forum, think I best warn the bank manager!!! :happy2:

Thanks for looking and thanks for a great forum.............

Post by: Hurdy on May 25, 2011, 10:42:03 pm: Lovely car, but then I'm biased as mine was a 5dr silver ED30 too :happy2:

Oh, and it isn't totally standard as the Edition 30 badge on the front is aftermarket as they came stock just saying GTI :smiley:
Title: Re: My standard Reflex Silver Edition 30
Post by: Gladiator on May 25, 2011, 10:48:54 pm: LOL, true mate, thats the extent of my modding for the moment........well and the private plate I suppose :smiley:

It truely is a great car but then I have always been a sucker for Golfs :happy2:

Title: Gladiator's Reflex Silver ED30 - pic updates new wheel colour
Post by: Gladiator on June 08, 2013, 05:56:40 pm: Been a while since I posted some photo's, car still unmodified engine/performance wise but have fitted a few upgrades on the way......RNS510, MDI, MFSW buttons and cruise control all thanks to Eddie-NL and most recently changed the colour of the Pescara's to an Anthracite grey (Aston Martin anthracite).

Really happy with the wheel colour although the pics don't do them justice as taken on an iPhone and they really look best when the sun hits them :happy2:

Getting itchy feet to change but every time I drive it she puts a smile on my face and it's still in tip top condition with hassle free motoring for the last 3 years of ownership, will have to be something special to change from an Eddie! :wink:

Hope you like the pics anyway.

Post by: Frodo-anni on June 11, 2013, 02:42:41 pm: :happy2: snap, same as mine. I have also kept mine pretty much stock apart from similar interior mods. My original wheel paint is just starting to peel off from behind the spokes, so im thinking of what route to go. They look very good.

Thanks Keano, have tried to keep it totally standard but a few subtle mods on the way...wheel colour, gloss black front VW emblem and the obligatory Edition 30 grill badge :happy2:

Shame about the RNS510 but good to hear Gladiator's Edition 30 is going to be owned by another forum member.

Really pleased my beloved Edition30 has found its way back here :smiley:

Shame it had to go via a dealer and traded in really as would have had all the retrofits and private plate included but had to move quick to get the deal on the SEAT.

Private plate is in the 'for sale' section now by the way :happy2:

All other retrofits sold.

I'm sure you'll love the car, it never really missed a beat in my 4 years, never modded and kept tip top so should go well for many more years.

Any questions just drop me a line mate.

Post by: gtavalanche on June 07, 2014, 11:35:56 pm: Thanks mark. It really is in great condition, drives like it is brand new. I've had a huge smile on my face all day. No plans to do any mods, other than the RNS 510 and mfsw.

Just need to get my head round how to clean it properly, would be a shame for me to ruin the paint with ham fisted cleaning.
