I got my R32 rear bumper supplied and painted for £160. Then bought the maxton twin pipe back box for £230
Sounds excellent and together with the rear bumper has transformed the rear end

Excellent fit. No issues at all and for £160 inc paint and delivery it’s a quality mod

Looks good ! Where did you get the bumper from ?

I've seen maxton on eBay ,r32 bottom half ,and twin pipe for 320,so if I went for that I'd have to add paint and exhaust fitting labour

Did maxton design paint? Or was that from a local body shop? Any tweaking need to get then to fit? Was looking at genuine parts from awesome gti but they are about £340 each so this could be a better option.

@ljc19630 Hey Louie, couple of in answered questions asked above and I would like to ask the same plus another (and you call yourself a member ey haha).

1) where did you get the bumper from.. Maxton Design?
2) did you have to buy the reflectors separately?
3) Did you get it painted locally or pay extra when ordering?

In general.. does anyone have any recent reviews on Maxton Design bumpers.. are they a good fit? seen one of the members fitted one and had to pack the gap slightly, but was happy and of course Louie was happy in this thread too (assuming his was a Maxton Design) :)
