Title: My ED30 :)
Post by: AmaratD on March 09, 2015, 09:42:38 am
Hi all,

Thought id start a thread for my slow burning project..

Here is my ED30 which i have owned just over 2 months now and absolutely love it  :happy2:

With the great weather over the weekend i managed to wash, clay and wax the beauty!

I am planning to get the wheels refurbished however i am undecided which coating i would want...any suggestions?

Was this previously owned by someone on the forum? I'm sure the plate rings a bell somewhere.

I brought the car privately from a fella over in Reading, as far as i am aware he was a member on here so there is a possibility he may have uploaded pictures previously!

Car looks really nice, really like that colour! I'm the same need to refurbish, I'm tempted between standard, anthracite or a more shiny silver!

The ED30's still looking good Amarat - the shine on the grey really looks good when it's clean. Must clean mine  :ashamed:

Not sure who to suggest on the wheels. Need a good suggestion for mine too - the faces were done when I bought the car, but the inners are grotty. I think mine are titan grey, but not 100% sure. I don't want the bright silver as standard on the ED30, but no darker than what I have now (so anthracite would be too dark).

Somewhere between standard silver and anthracite gets my vote!

Thank you guys for the kind words!

Love this grey and Dave you are right it comes out so well when you wash it..As far as i am aware mine are Anthracite however i think a slightly darker finish will suit the car very well..but i have been quoted some ridiculous prices so might just consider buying a new set and selling these! Let me know if you get quoted any decent prices!

Dave have you got any mods in the pipeline?

Mods - yes - a few more planned. Better brakes are the next things to be fitted...
