What is the difference between and edition 30 and Pirelli?

[Homer]

Sorry for yet another newbie question but was wondering if anyone could explain this? Thanks for any help

Mechanically the same afaik with the same 227 bhp from the engine as opposed to 197 from the standard GTi.

Diffrent seats, the Prelli having the ones with the tyre treads on them and the Edition 30 having the classic GTi tartan effect ones.

Different badging on the exterior obviously.

I'm sure that's not everything but all I can think of just now.

Its simply an ED30 with pirelli bits. Mechanically and structurally identical

Different interior stitching, seats, wheels and badges.

Don't they run pirelli tyres also?

Yep!

I have a Pirelli and the differences are :

Wheels, tyres (Pirelli on the Pirelli !), seat middle covering, yellow stitching, badges, mats (no edge colour), No golf ball gear knob, they also come in a smaller colour range and have  a few options as standard like tinted rear/side windows

+ they were a very limted supply, only 222 official models were sold into the UK.

I was going to add the Pirelli is a limited edition.
