Hi All!
Picking my new motor up tomorrow! Steel Grey ED30 Golf edition 30 5 door. Spec:-
July 08 Reg
1774 Miles
Steel Grey met paint
sat nav
parking sensors
bixenon lights
winter pack - heated seats and washer jets for lights
six stack in arm rest
multifunction steering wheel
tints.
The car is 81 miles from me so looking forward to a last blast in the R! The trade in deal was a no brainer for me going from a Sept 56 plate to a July 08 plate!
Don't think I will be sleeping much tonight!
Pics to follow tomorrow!
Cheers John

They are Bi xenons on mkV golf's!

Congrats dude !!! the wait is nearly over ! :smiley:
-
They are Bi xenons on mkV golf's!
not avin a dig or owt youll probly put me straight on this, i always thought bi-xenons was two xenons within the same lens, ie dipped beam xen, main beam xen. but i thought golfs had xenons as dipped lights and then when switched to main went onto normal H? type bulb, yes?no or am i barkin up wrong tree :confused:

They use a mirror in the light to get around needing 2 different bulbs!

so not bi-xenon (bi meaning 2) cheap way of setting things up, also wondered why side bulb was lower next to indicator bulb

All the VW's Bi-Xenon's work this way and work really well!
-
Xenons are a must have option. Not only are they uber bright. But they also change the cosmetic appearance of the car completely. Congrats on the new motor. Pics asap please.

Had everybody's worst Nightmare Today! My trade in car got damaged before I traded it in! I did not notice the massive dent until I was at the petrol station 20 miles from VW! Hit and run outside our house 15 mins before I left!

Nightmare, where do you stand now then pal :sick:

:sad: :sad: thats not good fella :sad: :sad:

I phoned VW up from the petrol station and told them the score and they said bring it in and we will have a look! Bodyshop guy had a look and did a quote at £870 to repair! Branch manager had a look and came back with £600 price to fix! I did the deal and drove away with my new motor! I found one of the contractors vans 5 doors down from us with damage to it's front bumper but they are claiming it was allready there from before!
-
could have been much worse I suppose, at least you got your new motor :happy2:

New car:-

nice 1 :happy2:, new motor looks mint pal
-
car looks good mate, shame about the damage on the old one, but it could have been worse
-
Nice replacement there pal.. Have you had chance to give a decent comparison yet, performance, handling, general feel of the car etc?
Is it me, or has it already got the red GTI badge on the front grill already? 8)
-
That was sickening seeing that damage :confused: :nerd:
Glad you got the new car though :happy2: Looking forward to your thoughts on it :wink:
-
Thanks everyone for your kind words! Still totally devastated about my R32! I am going to try and get to the bottom of who caused the damage tomorrow! I phoned the cops but they where unhelpful saying not much they can do now I have not got the car anymore! They are probably too busy out with there speed guns!
New car is great! And only 1800 miles on the clock! Just need to give it a good check over tomorrow as was a bit rushed today at the dealership as I was not really in the mood as you can imagine!
-
I will have a good blast tomorrow and let you all know what I think but it is not the first time I have owned and edition 30! Total different drive to the R32 tho and 36 mpg on the way home compaired to 26mpg on the way there in the R!

Nice, funny r32 owners try to convince you that a r32 gives the same mpg as an edition 30/ golf gti, MYTH BUSTED lol

Agree'd shaun
Wished you'd tell r32uk that, might end his R32 being as economical as a Toyota prius! :happy2:
Hope you enjoy your Ed30 Transplant :wink:
-
How sickening is that W(censored)ers disappearing without fessing up. :fighting:
Its a bit sad really what should be a great day to remember gets tainted, :sick:
But it will be behind you soon.
The ED 30 looks beautiful enjoy. :smiley:
-
WOW thats an unlucky handover day!
Thank goodness you still could swap , Id say just enjoy the ED30 but dont park it in the same place as the R32 :surprised:
I reckon we should start a book on days to remap :innocent:
-
that must be 3 ed30's now you have owned, you change cars like the wind changes direction.

The nerve of some people ! i feel for you mate some bar stewards need to be castrated. :fighting:
Glad you got the deal though, new car looks awesome bud :drinking:
What do you prefer , R32 , Gti, Ed30 ?
i personally prefer ed30 for upgrading, and stock GTi to drive !
ps wifes car looks hard as fudge ! 8)
-
Car looks awesome mate, sorry to hear about the R, at least its all sorted and you can enjoy your new car :happy2:
-
Had a good blast in the new car today! The roads are great in Fife with no speed cameras to worry about! Really love the way it pulls late in the rev range! I have missed the feel of a Turbo just wish it sounded like the R32! Car feels so light on the road compaired to the R32. I am also loving the new touch screen sat nav! Mods will start once I return from my hols in Afganhistan!

Glad your enjoying it mate, what mods are you planning ?

S3 Intercooler, R32 brakes/Brembo gt, Coilovers, Milltek turbo back zorst, Uprated fuel pump, Forge DV, Remap!
These may take a while to fund tho! Probably do the Milltek first then brakes before I get the Remap!

Looking good matey :happy2: Sorry to hear about the R32. You have had a serious amount of GTI's/R32's since I have been on forum's. Why so many changes?
So you went for the MTM alloys then Gaz? They will look hard as nails on yours, lookin forward to seeing them on in the flesh :happy2:
