Ive got a candy white 08 plate ed30 with 23k on the clock and its pretty much immaculate bar the usual stone chips. Its got a forge CAI, dumpvale and GIAC map, but i want more.
I,ve always had red cars upto this one, and nearly did buy a red ed30 but the candy one came up at the right price. Now........ ive expressed an interest in a red ed30 that has had alot of work in the way of modifications done to it, for pretty much a straight swap, its a 57 plate and done a wee bit more mileage, the car in question used to be on here, cohibas maybe (i think ive spelt that wrong).

whats peoples thoughts?

A spec of the red one from memory is

APR HP fuel pump
Uprated in tank pump
APR full system TB
Neuspeed front and rear ARB
Whiteline anti lift kit
KW v3 coilovers
OZ ultraleggra alloys
APR front mount
Volkswagen racing engine mounts
GIAC remap
Boost gauge with steering coloum pod
uprated clutch and Quaiffe Diff
Tarox 10 pot brakes
Audi S3 rear brakes
DBlias air intake


and a pic after i detailed it

I think you'd be insane to do that Craig.

Pricing up alot of the stuff on there would be a minimal spend to what you'd loose on the car come selling time

Stick with your candy

Theres alot of money been spend on the car in the way of mods, it would be a car to keep until it was dead basically with the intension of track days etc. Things alone like the diff, clutch and coilovers are a huge out lay

It's a great car is that one know cohiba well and it had a lot of money spent on it and well looked after by him
