Got one - Edition 30
« on: December 02, 2013, 08:30:37 pm »
On to my third Mk5 and its finally the one I have been dreaming of. After driving my old Mk5 TDI for 2 years and putting 35,000 on it I finally manned up and bought an Edition 30 Yesterday.


Mayb i will get a stationary pic soon? by Purplejellyo, on Flickr

My old car. Was stupidly low spent more time fixing broken sumps than driving it. Definitely will not be stancing the new one I am going for performance and handling mods with looks coming second, although the Edition 30 looks ridiculously good in its standard form.

Here is my new one picked it up yesterday and I love it, completely different car to drive than the old diesel I have been used to.

Sorry about the phone pictures will get some better ones this weekend when its had a propper wash.

Specs on the car:
07
45k
Highline clocks
Ipod connection
hands free

And a few other bits and pieces.

Car is laced with stone chips and needs a cambelt and water pump so thats where the money will be going first of all.
Just bought two new tyres as well so mods will be on hold until the end of january I would expect.

Looks very nice I had almost the same list of bits to do first when I picked my CW edition up.....Cambelt, change the ditch finders get the wheels booked in for a refurb (which I still haven't done) and then a detail in the spring! God I have OCD!!

Love red eddys!!

Nice one Matt! Your old car looks Familar. It's so funny I'm in exactly the same boat. Gone from an A3 on air to a Red 3 door ED30 as well. My first things have been the same 12 months tax, MOT, 4 new tyres as well! Need to get cambelt & water pump & DSG oil done in the new year as well!

Will keep an eye out on this one  :happy2:

Thanks lads, absolutely chuffed to bits with it. Like I say its madness coming from a 100bhp tdi to to this, i finally understand the true meaning of understeer  :driver:!

Got a fair few mods in the pipeline, want to get it running 300+ but I want to get the car ready for it before I just jump in and do it. On first impression to me I think it understeers ridiculously and I find the brakes to be average, wouldnt like to use them to be stopping once mapped anyway.

First mod will probably be eibach sportlines or the h&r would like some KW coils but I dont have the money right now. And the spray the wheels black maybe... release my inner chav. :laugh:
