sweet, thanks for the link w80ody

Had a custom exhaust made up for it; sounds surprisingly good (for a diesel)
Hmmm, interested in seen a more detailed view of your custom exhaust as I'm planning a similar thing myself myself albeit with a GTI exit not R32. Did you just change it from the backbox onward or did you do away with the middle silencer too? Glad you changed over to the darker GTI headlights. Changes the whole front of the car. Tis on my to-do list. :happy2:
Also would like to know how you attached your GTI spoiler and what work their is involved with the 3rd light?
p.s. sorry for lack of pics on FB so far, been a busy weekend so far but I'll get round to it soon.
w80ody:
dodds, good to see you on the forum!
Have a look at this link for better pictures of the exhaust: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,28829.0.html
The original backbox was removed and a Y section made up to split for the R32 exits.
The centre box is still in, have contemplated removing this but fear it will drone too much.
Something like this would do you maybe?

Spoiler is bonded on to tailgate.
Watch when ordering the spoiler from VW as there are two types, one is the same as Gti/R32, the other is a slightly different design that doesn’t include a built in brake light (the design has a scoop in the middle so the original light can be used). I believe that spoiler is from the accessories range. Hence when ordering you need to buy the brake light that fits the Gti spoiler. They removed my old light, feed the connector through the wing, bonded it on then popped in the new light

Thought I'd revive your build thread Woody with a few pics from the Extreme Motorsport Rolling Road Day:
