Ooo, silver Edition 30 friend! Looking forward to some more pics, I'm thinking about getting my wheels done in grey or black so nice to see one with darker wheels.

Looks like a lovely edition 30!!

My guide might come in handy when you go to paint your calipers - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89715.30.html

Got a few more small jobs done on the 30 today -
Replaced the floor mats for genuine ones and new headlight switch
New spark plugs NGK iridium BKR7EIX
Replaced the cam follower and HPFP seal



Follower wasn't to bad well worth changing for the price of a replacement and 10-15min.
Just the wait for payday now so i can get some AP coilovers ordered, and probably take advantage of the RAMAIR intakes being on offer.
