I could have got an ED30 but decided to buy based on condition. I looked at 3 ED30s, and all of them had some problems. I found a recovery receipt for one where it had been run out of oil on a motorway. Another had some major accident damage. That and the interior of the edition 30 was a bit off for me so I went for a gti with leather that hadn't been battered. if you get bored just throw a k04 on at a later date.

Gotta agree with this. I wanted an Ed30, but all the ones I viewed were in a pretty poor state and I didn't fancy a long wait of searching to find the right one. So decided to opt for a decent GTI and add the K04  :happy2:

can i ask how you went about getting a K04 sorted? where you buy it/who fitted it etc? be good to know as im thinking about going down this route in a few months and ive been looking a few different options...or send us a pm.ta! :happy2:

As Graeme says, K04 bits do pop up in the for sale section fairly frequently. Fitted by AKS Tuning, who did an awesome job  :happy2:
