The Pirelli editions were not sold in the US, and everything you see on the cars exterior is pretty much standard - including all the trim. Yellow was it's advertised colour, but in truth there were not that many in yellow made. I was told 60 by VW Australia, and only 12 of those were 5 doors.

I put the deposit down on mine as soon as I heard about them, but was very lucky to secure it as only 3 were brought into Western Australia. Strangely enough, the other 2 are within a few kms from where I live! I see them around from time to time.

I tried very hard to not give into temptation to modify its original look. The only thing that sets it apart from a standard Pirelli is the wheels, and the K&W coilovers drop it down by another inch or so.

All of the work has been mechanical. There's not a lot of mods done to the cars look.

I was navigating a parking ramp, sorry. But I did just see Skyfall, perhaps I'm subconsciously being a spy?

Lol. How was Skyfall? No spoilers, just curious if you liked it. I've heard good things so far.
