Ive used Jabba for my MK4 diesel and on my Edition 30. I had the car remapped by Jabba when the rumour was that the dsg box can only cope with 350nm of torque, once it was realised it can cope with more i couldnt be bothered to drive back to Peterborough so i went to Clive's and had Revo. Both companies i recommend, with either you cant go wrong.  :happy2:

Hello from another new Edition 30 owner and forum member!

Your car sounds great; I was looking for a white Edition 30 and looked at a White non Edition 30 before settling for my Reflex Silver Edition 30 last week. I bought it from Wolsey VW just outside of Ipswich.  I think the lighter colours, white,silver and red really define the shape of the car and the grille,wheels and painted lower body items differentiate from the (still fantastic) lower powered GTi brethren!  Yours has almost every extra known to man - you've certainly got a goodie there.  The forum pages are becoming my first go-to site when I have the time to browse the tinternet.  Can't believe how many wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful owners there are out there. 
Good luck
Regards
galaxie500

Thanks mate im happy with it, got it booked into the Bodyshop in 2 weeks time to have front splitter and bumper scrapes fixed and he has done me a decent deal as its the 3rd car i will have taken to him lol.

ONce car tax and front tyres paid for will start saving for next years service and then its a re-map, Milltek, Twintake and possibly HPFP in one go, hopefully may/june next year, happy to live with it std for now.

Yours sounds like a nice one, i never looked at a silver one as when i was looking there did not appear to be any in my price range lol, except for a heavily modded one.

Just bumped into one of our neighbours in town, nice chap, usual formalities exchanged, he says he better get off as he needs to catch the bus home as his car is in for service, so i said im going home now you can have a lift if you like (He lives in the house opposite). He gets in  and we set off, im pootling along on the A road at 50 in traffic (60 limit area) and he says "is this quick?", i said its pretty nippy and he said lets get past these dawdlers then, so into S on the DSG and nail the throttle, past 3 cars in a flash and he says, i like this, might get the wife one as they do an auto!!, drop him off and his wife comes out and has a look, what do you reckon he says, do you fancy one of these in auto, she says yes i like it, is it quick?, turns out they have been looking for a small auto thats quick to "get past the older folks doddering along the bypass" she then says shall i call VW and see if they have any?.
So maybe my neighbours are the market for a Dealership Ed30 now lol.

Maybe another one converted to Ed30 owners club. He also asked me to take him for a spin when its modified to see how quick it is!?

P.S. my neighbours are 70 and 72, who knew they were still petrol heads LMAO, even funnier as they said "older folks doddering along the bypass" ROLFMSO

I think recommended place is near drivers door, but like the look on centre console too.

Will think about it over weekend and then have a go with a bit of tape in diff places until i choose which i like best.

Just noticed a switch on my car that i did not know about, after reading the manual it turns out the car is also fitted with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), have read instructions and will be checking the tyres later today and setting the thing as i think i have a slow puncture on OSF tyre  :confused:

My plaque not arrived yet either, she said Monday or Tuesday and its wednesday now :indifferent:, good news my V5 came back tho, so now i can get the car taxed at end of month and wont have to leave it in the garage for a few days  :happy2:

Cheers mate, i played round with by using a sticky pad and tried centre console (liked it), passenger door (would never see it), on base of armrest (again never see it) and on drivers door (preferred choice).

Just glad VW got it sorted for me and pretty quickly too, although they told me it was going to be number 2236 and then 2235 arrived, makes me wonder if numbers are just randomly selected as i know another guy with an 08 plate with Same April build date and his is 2078 i think?, either that or a hell of a lot of cars registsred in April  :signLOL:
