Post by: SL03 JOE on December 02, 2012, 05:26:50 pm
Hi there, sold my mk5 GTi earlier this year for a supercharged mkiv r32.

But I'm back with a grey 3 door eddy 30 :)
Picked her up yesterday and she's all good, just no edition alloys and a few aux inputs but non work :(


Already planning the mods,
Exhaust
Intake
Wheels
Coilovers
FMIC
Change the interior

Few other bits to.

No just that, diffs, haldex, clutch, gearbox depending on power, brakes.

It all adds up mate, plus they break alot! Lol

Do all Ed30s have Golf badges? I thought the GTIs and R32s didn't say Golf on their butts?

ED30's came with matte black monzas, and no plaque if they were imported. Therefore this isn't a UK car, but still an ED30 all the same.

The wheels were changed by the original owner as he hated the bbs's and only the owner was given the plaque I thought?

I was just wondering why the car had them alloys and no plaque, as these were the cars for foreign ED30's. If the owner was given a plaque, wouldn't he have put it on the car?

And was he telling porkies about changing the wheels...?

ED30's also say GTI on the back, and not GOLF :S

Those alloys were an option on ED 30's.

Yeah maybe, apparently guy who had it before the trader I brought it from said that he thought the monzas suited it better.
