The Jada DubCity ones are good but they are 1:24 scale not 1:18.

NOREV are accepted as a good scale model in 1/18th, believe they also made an Edition in that scale too (limited edition tho), search for NOREV Golf GTI on Ebay and you will finnd lots of them  :happy2:

If anyone wants a cheapo !

Model Zone had a load of 1/32 MK5 Red GTi 5 door models for £4.99

But no other colours or 3 Doors.

This was in the Stratford Westfield branch !

Sorry for hijacking the thread but any chance anyone has come across a good model of the Edition 30 with the UK spec wheels etc? I can find some but since I bought my ED30 I've not manage to find one :(

Im sure that VW themselves do one available through dealers but i think they are usually Norev.
