Title: Golf Gti Edition 30
Post by: sarobertson1 on January 02, 2013, 08:12:16 pm: Hi all,

I've had my edition 30 for a few months now and have had a good chance over the festive period to spend some time on it and get it up to standard. took a couple of pictures so people could see it. its a standard car other than having all the bullbs changed to LED's and a set of overly expensive alloy paddle extensions.

Let me know what you all think.

Cheers,
Stu

You cannot link to files on your own hard drive. :)

Post by: sarobertson1 on January 03, 2013, 01:52:54 am: yea, i absolutely love it. the car drives and feels amazing - probably as it has 25 k on the clock. I have recently changed jobs though and am having to do some miles in the car which is definitely the downside, ramping up the mileage and the fuel costs - Mr Shell and i and becoming too close for my liking! :confused:

Post by: sarobertson1 on January 09, 2013, 01:39:11 pm: Thanks for all the comments guys.

Scooba, yea it's got the xenons fitted as an optional extra. Whoever originally bought the car had the right idea and specified the car right just wish they had got cruise control but that's apparently an easy enough retrofit. Its a dsg.

Chris, I haven't got any further plans for the car other than possibly cruise control and a factory Bluetooth kit. One of the door bump strips has a really small paint mark where it's been knocked so I might get the strip 're painted but that's about it

Drive and enjoy it :smiley:

It is immaculate as can be seen from the picture and really well spec'd!
