Whats the difference between a std GTi and an Edition 30?
« on: February 26, 2012, 10:55:15 am »
As far as I can see the differences are:

Engine.
wheels
brakes
colour coded plastics.

Are there any more differences? I have my eye on a 30 but would like to know all about hem before I buy.

Few extras

Speacial edition 30 interior (half leather half interlagos) golf ball gearknob
Ko4 turbo insted of ko3-engine produces 230 BHP insted of 200 of normal GTi, big tuning potential for edition 30
Few other things in the engine like injectors etc etc
Could coded bumpers and side skirts-think the front splitter may be different too but not 100%
Special BBS pescara alloy wheels
Sill protectors saying edition 30
Limited production numbers on edition 30 of around 2500???

Hope that helps
Jack

Anti roll bars are bigger, and the suspension is a bit lower I think actually!

Interesting. When I worked at VW the ED30 had just launched and the release brochure said stiffened and lowered suspension, though this could've been in relation to the standard golf as opposed to a comparison to the GTI

Yeah, I think it said 15mm lower too, but that was in comparison to a standard Golf.
