***Black Edition 30***
« on: June 23, 2011, 08:14:21 pm »
Evening all,

Not been a member on here long but I have already made a few posts and tapped in to the wealth of resources. Just introducing my edition 30. Bought it as a replacement for my MK4 Anniversary and I love it.

Has loads of extras, low mileage and already I have a few plans in the pipeline. Nothing radical just OEM+ really  :smiley:

Only had the car for a month now but pics are below:















Just got hold of the following bits which I will be fitting at the weekend:
'GTI' seat inserts
'GTI' Footrest
Edition 30 badge for front grille
Limited edition number plaque
RNS510 Version C (LED)

Plans within the near future are:
S3 Jacking points
Amp + speaker upgrade all round
'GTI' tax disc holder
de-lock drivers door
Refurb wheels
full paint correction & detail

Think thats everything for now

Well I managed to get a few bits done over the weekend. Pics below

RNS510 (LED). Also updated maps to V7 ones since the seller forgot to do this and shipped it to me with V5 or 6 maps. Got to say I am loving this bit of kit. Installation was pretty straightforward thanks to a guide from the R32OC forum that I followed.



Next came the 'GTI' deadrest and seat inserts. As you can see I decided to mount a red backing to the logos and i'm very pleased with the results







Then came the limited edition plaque which VW had sent me. Got to say I was very impressed with the time it took for VW to get this out to me. Rang on the Friday and was told that I would get a call on the Monday. Call came on the Monday and the plaque was ordered. Plaque was then delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery on the Wednesday.



Finally I installed the S3 jacking points. This isn't a cheap mod at around £50 for the parts but I have the wheels off quite a lot to give them a good clean so in my opinion its worth it in the long run. Really easy jacking the car up with them.





Next on the list is wheels to Aerocoat for a refurb. Got these all boxed up and ready to go. Can't wait to get these back and back on the car. Will post up some pics once I have them on. After that its a full detail and paint correction required so watch this space  :smiley:

Good progress so far ste, a member called 'cossy' used aerocoat for his ed30 alloys sometime last year.

Sure you'll be really happy with the overall finish   :happy2:

Thanks Guys. Frodo I couldn't find any pics of the ed30 alloys in the aeromax finish but having just searched for Cossy's post I can't wait to get them back. Should be perfect on a black car.

Good luck with your search for an ed30, you will find the one you want i'm sure  :happy2:

Got the wheels back from Aerocoat today and I am very impressed with their work. I decided to ship my wheels all the way from Manchester to Norfolk to get them done by Aerocoat after seeing various threads on what they managed to do to the 25th anni wheels.

Pics are below but its very difficult to get a picture showing the true colour. They have a nice hight gloss but depending on the lighting either appear as a brighter silver look to a darker anthracite look. Anyway I will let the pics do the talking. Spent 3 hours tonight polishing, waxing and sealing them. Tyres going on tomorrow then they will be going back on the car after I have painted the wheel hubs.

Look forward to seeing these on the car.

They look very chrome in those photo's.

As you say difficult to judge currently. :happy2:

Lovely that mate  :party:

I love subtle touches.

Do you have a part Nr for the jacking points?  Assuming it will be the same on the Leon

Can you tell me how you got hold of your number plaque please?

I know there is a whole topic on the number plaque but I would like to double check with you to make sure it's still same.

Thanks
