Exterior differences between a gti and the ed30?
« on: May 28, 2010, 11:26:48 pm »
I havent been on here for some time, i recently sold my s3 to try and save some cash for a while and purchased a mini one diesel to get me around!!!! Big mistake the car was so slow it depressed.

Anyway to cut a long story short i dont want to spend to much on a car at the moment and ive seen a fairly decent low mileage gti. What would i need aside from the wheels to make an ed30 rep?

Thanks
Many BMW'S and one bog standard MK5 3dr Golf GTI.

Headlights have a darker tint too (apart from if you have xenons - they are the same)

And a rear badge....

The body kit is ridiculously expensive mate, think it's about £230 for the front lip and similar for the rea lower valance. Then you'll have paint costs etc.

Still I'm thinking about doing this, however I've inherited milly quads so I'd also have the zorst costs on top of that too :-(

same part number. Gti has darker tint than normal golfs, ed30 doesn't go one further

any differences you can see are the light, infact looking at the pics the second pic down has the darker looking tint.  Lighting aside, Part numbers are exactly the same so they cannot be any different
