Picked her up today

[wacky]

Well I picked up the diamond black DSG eddie today, chuffed to bits with it !
Will get some pics up once she is all cleaned up.
I am based in Essex, not seen any other ed 30's down this way ???
This is GTi number 4 for me, such a fun car to drive !

is a stage 1 likely to add much to the insurance ?
i pay £400 full comp.

[wacky]

also, how do I find out the limited edition number for the car ?
sorry - I did a few searches on here but couldn't find anything.
i guess i have no chance of getting a plaque now either ?

I did a quick search on the plaque thing

Theres a few threads about so might mean you have to go through a few pages. This one may get you started though.

If the car has not had a plaque given originally then you can still get one through VW customer service, think it 'Jenny' you need to speak with. If it has then they wont issue another, but will tell you what number it is.

Welcome to the ED30 club fella. 

Enjoy it first for what it is and then if you want, get a tuner to work some magic on your car. Stage 1 should see you gaining somewhere around 15-20% increase in bhp, add a piston DV and better panel filter and that will help, and that just the start, sure you know all this, on GTI number 4.

As mentioned for your plaque (and/or build number) give VW Customer Services a ring on 0800 0833914 and if it has not been sent out already to a previous owner then VW will send it to you for free. If its still available you just need to send/email them a copy of your V5.

My first task will be to get the car looking the part, got a lot of stone chips which doesn't look great on a black bonnet so going to see Rob @ gleammachine to see if he can work some magic or if it needs a re-spray.
Tuning will have to take a back seat for a while
