Cheers mate that's good to know :) I'm selling with a garage midnight heat shield too so hopefully that will help.

I saw you had your ed30 up for sale the other day, you had much interest on it? I'm sure you won't have too much trouble selling it's a lovely example & excellent mileage aswel! Good luck to you too :)

Sorry for the late reply mate, I spoke to the exhaust guy but unfortunately he could only do it a week on Saturday & I need it done for next week as I have a viewing on the car, will definitely keep him in mind for the future though, thanks for putting me on to him i appreciate it :)

So as you all know I was thinking about selling my edition 30 these past few months, as of yesterday the car has now been sold to somebody from the forum (peter_booker2003)  which I'm very happy about as I know it's gone to a good home.

Cars been great fun from start to finish & will definitely be missed, probably one of the best cars I've owned tbh but time for a change :)

Thanks to everyone who took there time to comment & look at my build thread.

 I'll still be lurking around on the forum to nosey at other peoples projects & the fact that I've met a great bunch of lads on here too. I will be sure to post a picture of the new car too!

Hi Mitch, I used megs endurance tyre & trim gel you can buy it from Halfords, it's good stuff & durability isn't bad probably would need a top up now though as it's been a few months since I did it! It's a pain to do but well worth it :)

Oh bonus, you can't beat it for the price can you! I used a foam applicator pad to apply it, think I got them from eBay, then I wiped over with a microfibre after, it is a really fiddly job unfortunately so give yourself plenty of time to do it :) I did mine on my lunch break at work haha

Hi Martin,

Can't believe it's gone! Mine was also picked up last night, so I guess we're both Golf-less at the moment.

I will also be sticking around on the forum as I've made lots of good friends on here.

You never know, when circumstances change again in the future, I may get back into another MK5.

Take care,

Rash

Hi Rash

I know it's a weird feeling tbh, oh no way they went at the same time, that's mad! Did you sell it to you friend?

Yeah definitely staying on here it's probably the best forum I've been a part of by far, lots of helpful people & like you say made some good friends too.

Yeah maybe :) I think I'd find it hard to ever have another after the ed30 was so good & well specced but you never know!

You take care too & keep in touch!
