Here it is after its first wash. Still needs alot of cleaning/polishing to get it up to scratch!

Unfortunately it's quite a basic specced manual - only tints and arm rest. Never mind. I can always px it against a CW 3dr DSG with every option - oh yeah - one doesn't exist  :signLOL:

Looking great, I was after a high spec White or grey, and neither seemed to exist, especially after all my previous cars had options lists like Xmas trees, my car just has dsg and armrest, and it's just great, the others options are nice but not essential to the ED30. I've added cruise, and osram bulbs- which have made the lights brilliant to be fair.  This car is for driving especially after map, intake and exhaust. 

Enjoy the cw, they look great in that colour.

Any mods planned??

Thanks Oli  :happy2:

No mods planned - standard is good on an everyday car, especially when you've a GT3 as a weekend car!!!!

Many questions:-

RE retro-fit cruise - did VW do this for you? How much? Is it an easy job, ie what's involved?

Has anyone else had options retro fitted - sat nav? MFSW (what does this actually do on a manual car?) 6CD autochanger?

Also, is it possible to retro-fit the Lux pack and does this contain the automatic dipping of wing mirrors when reversing and the folding in of wing mirrors??

Cheers - Phil

Awesome do the cruise control as do the local stealers, similar prices too...between £100-200 cant remember exactly.

MFSW and the sat nav are also plug and play so to speak...RNS510 is the sought after sat nav...pick them up for £5-600ish.

Not sure about the lux pack, dont know what it entails  :confused:

Very nice. :happy2:  Folding mirrors can be added - you'll need the mirrors, the switch and the control modules from inside both doors.  It's a plug and play fitment - I've done it to mine.   :wink:

Hi there 997GT3, well done mate, you have bought a great car there :happy2: You really wont need all the extra's as you have the ED30. Definately need to get the RNS510 though. It is an AMAZING bit of kit! (Im still waiting to get the phone prep for mine).
I too would like to know how easy it is to fit the cruise control! I'm sure it is simple, as long as you get it coded after fitting it! They are for sale on ebay  for £50 (genuine vw too). I'm really tempted, but my cash is already accounted for, for the next few months  :signLOL:

First i'm getting my H&R springs fitted tomorrow (and yes, i am gettin em done at the VW specialist :wink:),
Then i am getting a Private Reg Plate,
Then the Factory Phone prep for the RNS510. (anyone fit this for me?)
and then cruise-control.... if there's any left :sad1:

well done again, CW is very nice :wink:

Car looks great.... :congrats:

'luxury pack 1' = electrically folding wing mirrors, rear reading lights and a passenger side mirror which lowers, allowing the driver to see and avoid hitting the kerb....I think there is also a Lux pack 2 but not sure what that has extra ??

Thanks for all your comments chaps.  :happy2:

I must say, from joining this forum as a non-mk5 owner to now getting my Ed30 has been great. I find the speed, helpfulness and friendliness of replies to be really really top drawer. You all deserve a (VW) medal  :drinking:

This must be the very best (and i've been on a fair few) forum i've come across!

Ok, now who wants to sell me their RNS510 Sat Nav unit for £50!!!!!
