Someone got fleeced.The only parts i can see that are genuinely from an Edition 30 are the steering wheel and the boot badge.Id imagine that this car was stolen (stripped) recovered, but not recorded if it is indeed an Edition 30. (But thats speculation). An engine picture would put peoples mind at rest, however, its certainly worth no more than £8k as it is. There are perfectly genuine Edition 30s around for £9k at the moment. So asking £11k+ for a car with all the defining features from an Edition 30 missing, is strange at best.I looked at 5 editions, all of the paint work was shiat, leather bolster all worn. Non had the cam belt, water pump done and 3 of the 5 had bold front tyres.Ok so I could put the BBS alloys on that would cost me £600 to do so, but why when most people change the wheels on the MKV golfsWhichever way you look at it Joe, its currently a GTI with an Edition 30 engine. The defining features that make a car an Edition 30 are missing. And they are the only difference apart from the log book and the engine.Well it has the engine, door seals, steering wheel, rear badge. So it doesn't have wheels or seats? I think personally the quality of the paint work and car makes up for a little bit of leather on some seats and the BBS alloys which are very easy to get hold of and the new owner would change anyway..

Deako the ed30 front badge was not standard, it's an add on. :-)
Why would you change the badge? Or replace the boot with a normal one and not do it properly ?
Well I've just been on the phone to the trader I brought it from! Luckily I've paid on card. The wheels I was selling on baby BMW would fit a 1er with adapters easy, it's been done.The R32 would do 42mpg on a long run with a supercharger, unless you've had one you wouldn't have a clue.
