Pirelli Edition GTI
« on: October 08, 2014, 01:50:56 pm »
Hi guys,

Been a while since I've been on here, I had a Red GTI a few years back and always said I would get another one some day.

Here is a link to my old GTI thread:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,12731.30.html

Well that time has come and I put a deposit down on a really nice Silver Pirelli Edition Gti last Saturday. Hope collect it this weekend, so I will add more pictures then.

Spec wise:
2009 Pirelli Edition, Silver, 3 door, Manual, 54k miles with full VWSH.
Unfortunately it doesnt have Xenon's or a MFSW which I would have liked, but its a really clean car all round.

I was originally after a white or red 3 door Edition 30, but after looking at some over here it was hard to get a clean one that I was happy with. This Pirelli Edition came up for sale at a local dealer and at first I didn't really consider it, silver wasn't a colour I wanted and those nasty Pirelli wheels, which I never really liked...  :confused:

I never really had much interest in the Pirelli Edition before now, because I had always been a fan of the Edition 30, and disliked those Pirelli edition alloy wheels.... but after some time looking at them online and searching threads on here it started to grow on me and I began to really like them, even the wheels with the Pirelli "P" which I had never noticed before. So last Saturday I went to view the car and that was me sold on it, a deposit was paid and now I can not wait to collect the car at the weekend... :)  :laugh: When I viewed the car it was spotlessly clean, the interior is like new and everything works as it should.

Only pictures I have from outside the dealers:




Plans for the Pirelli are:
Eibach Sportline Springs (or H&R which I had in my last GTI)
Front Open Fogs (which I have at home from the Red GTI also)
Yellow Pirelli Logo on dash, like the Edition 30 one (nice little touch, I'll get some sign writhing company to do it.)
Gloss Black front and Rear Splitters ( I may Plasti dip these or get them wrapped)

Here a link to my old GTI thread:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,12731.30.html

I'll keep you up to date as I start to enjoy my ownership.


Thanks,
Wayne

I'd of got a Pirelli edition myself had I done the research prior to buying my GTI. Look forward to following this one.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

lol I know, I'm really surprised at myself that I never gave them more thought over the years.
