Edition 30 to swap for Edition 35 for FREE? HELP!!!
« on: October 13, 2014, 07:47:27 pm »
Hi guys I've currently got a 2007 Tornado Red Mk5 Edition 30 (Manual) with the following:

Highline Display, iPod connection, new BBS VZ's, BCS Powervalve, THS intercooler (to be fitted), Helix Clutch kit (to be fitted), Revo intake, lowered on vwr springs had the bonnet resprayed and 2 new front wings etc, 47K Miles.

My dads got a Candy White ED35 that he wants to sell for either a R or a RS3 (depending on spec and prices etc) he's offered to swap with me and trade the ed30 in against one of these and il keep the ed35… the spec of this is:

18K miles, Xenons with washers, Led DRLs, Touchscreen 6 CD & Bluetooth, DSG, MFSW, Carbonio intake, BCS Powervalve, Bluefin stage 1, vwr springs, ipod in armrest connection etc.

The question is what do i do? I've spent loads on the ED30 in the year of having it and don't feel like I'm ready to let go just yet and i prefer the shape of the MK5! Am i being stupid and just get the 35 or stick with the 30?

I know that they are both the same car underneath basically but i really don't know what to do haha  :grin: :laugh:

I can of corse take the revo kit off and put it on the 35 and sell whatever doesn't fit etc

What would you guys do?

Thanks in advance! :drinking:

I think you know the right answer really ;-)

If not, would your dad consider swapping with me?

I think the MK5 is a lot better shape car to be honest! Would the THS IC fit the Mk6?

Would have to sell the clutch and flywheel as the 35 is DSG, shame cause the clutch was just about to be fitted so brand new from AKS a few weeks ago!!!

Yes! @Beddie had an Ed30 and upgraded to an Ed35

It's the same engine (slightly different cams) and the same chassis so it's mainly cosmetic, and a bit more soundproofing  :signLOL:
