Cheers Buddy, Yes it makes it look so much smarter, just adds something else to the interior! ah, nice man, is this a side exit twin tip that you have got? i am really stuck between sticking with a side exit or R32'ing the rear end and get two centre exit's! :scared: :ashamed:

Ive got the twin side exit with standard rear valance looks pretty good, but yeah the r32 twin exit in the centre does look alot nicer

Evening, some big changes on the horizon, Mods are coming in thick and fast! :jumping: :jumping: I still have not had chance to get out and take some good pictures of the new Chrome Stripped grille, the weather has been horrendous and by the time i finish work it is dark! :sick:
I went a bit mad on a spending spree and purchased a few parts:
- White Centre Valeo LED Tail lights. Very excited to get these on, love the look they give to the rear end! found a New set on Ebay, for Just under £280 from germany, well worth the money Imo.
- R32 Rear bumper Valance. i had a big debate and many hours scrolling through the forums as to go OEM or a Good replica part... OEM parts were going for £280-350, i would then need to get a respray so i was looking at well over £400 quid and thats before a £1,000 exhaust system! :confused:
so i decided to go for a replica part, but not a single cast bumper, as i wanted the lower cutout valance to come away from the main bumper, i felt they have a little more depth within their look, also a lot similar to the original part! that will be on its way the the body-shop for paint when it arrives. Looking to get a full system custom made for the mk5 too over the next month or so, want it to sound and look crazy, i have always been a fan of the r32 rear end, much more aggressive and wider. so decided to take the plunge!
I Also ended up buying a few smaller details
- New VW Logo Key badges as they hard worn away on my Key Fob.
-OEM VW Bottle opener to go within the sliding compartment Under the arm rest, the cutout was getting on my nerves :laugh:
Only small things but things that need doing. I will be updating you with pictures as the parts arrive, and will let you know on the fitment of bumper and lights, if anyone was unsure much like i was about going OEM or replica parts the R32 rear end, hopefully i can solve a few of these questions!
