At last - I have my Red Ed30
« on: August 20, 2009, 08:31:41 pm »
Picked it up today - love it already - have fitted my rear privacy blinds now and really impressed with them.  Just waiting for my RNS510 to arrive and that will be it for a while.  More mods will follow though I'm sure  :grin:

Excuse the state of the garden and garage door - builders have been in for last 3 months building an extension to the house!  oH and the pictures are very rushed so could be better I know  :grin:





Just a quick question though - there are no mats in my car - where's the best place to get them??

Very nice, are the rear windows dark from just the blinds?

And the ED30 is standard with red trimmed mats :happy2:  So someone has nicked them!

There's a pic in my other thread without the blinds for comparison
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6543.15

So someone has kept the mats by the looks of it - pretty useless unless they have another Golf I suppose - they had the bottle opener also ..... just as well I kept mine from my previous Golf  :grin:

Ta for the ebay link James - will keep an eye on that.  :smiley:

Might sound stupid ..... but I'm not sure tbh.  The dealer spouted on about 'heat reflecting glass' or something so not sure if thats what he was referring to.

Now I look back at my photos the backs do look darker???

Will have a proper look tomorrow now and report back  :smiley:

Check the fittings on the floor of the car as the one's on E-Bay have the older style so wouldn't fit mine.  :happy2:

Thanks for that mate - noticed my floor pegs are round (I guess that's the newer version?)

Managed to find another set of used mates with the correct fitting - drivers one is a little 'heal worn' but I'd soon get it like that anyway.  They'll do for now  :happy2:

Oh and Deako - couldn't get any further away form the car without falling into a pile of masonry/concrete etc - damn untidy these builders  :grin:

Will be giving the wheels a clean and seal today - will drive the car to a location to show off a bit of the Cornish scenery for the next shots (and yes the whole car will make these)  :happy2:
