Not a direct fit or I wouldn't imagine it being easy. A plastic welder might be able to do it. :confused:

The black bits obviously come apart from the lower part of the bumper right??
I've been studying the shape and to me they look the same, might have to pick one up and try it.
R32 exausts would look smart on a GTI bumper. Something I've not seen before...
Shoduchi:
It's just easier to get a R32 rear valance replica off ebay or from online stores (PPCBG, for example). I prefer that style to a smooth valance with 2 cuts for the exhaust tips...

It's all one mould on the GTI. I see what you're thinking, but it'd be a proper pain to do it right.
You'd have to cut the lower section off the GTI bumper, then try and bodge the R32 bit to fit. Not good.
Bear in mind a proper R32 lower section (body colour bit) has a much nicer, deeper shape than a GTI rear. It's not just the exhausts that look good!
Get a genuine R32 rear and do it reet.
Shoduchi:
Yeah, only the lower bit of the R32 valance comes off, the GTI valance is one piece and I think they have a different shape. I'm not saying it's impossible, just too hard to make it worth the effort. :wink:
