I fancied a r32 bumper on my gti but I wanted to keep my oem style Milltek 80mm jet tips
So I bought this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220994685906?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
And what utter toss it is
Will need about 5 hours prep to get it usable
So was wondering if I got a genuine R32 valance if I can get the centre panel for my exhaust with out goin osir carbon centre

.
OEM exhaust trim?
The Mk5 R32 rear bumper and exhaust trim are two separate parts from VW. I can't tell from that fleeBay page what you have bought - Is it the whole thing as one piece?
Btw, how's the front end you bought from a dodgy old guy on this forum? :grin:
-
I have the same set up, got the exhaust section from here

If you manage to get hold of a genuine R32 bumper then you can get the exhaust surround
Srs tec do this one for 169euro

I was going to get their quad one but I'm now getting westons CF one now.
Or Osir one for $459.99

These are the only 2 places I know that do inserts, not seen much about the SRS tec ones but as I said about I was going to get one from them

How goods the quality on that as I'm still unsure on the CF one i'm getting, so if I don't like it when on the car I might save and get their quad version

@ Nodz:
If you are getting from Weston the genuine OSIR quad exhaust trim like mine, the quality is very good and it's not stick-on like the twin version.

Its not the quality I'm worried about with westons as I know Osir products are excellent. Its just I'm not a massive fan of carbon fibre, so I'm gonna get it on the car and run it for a while and see if it grows on me or not :happy2:

Thats good to know as I couldn't find anyone who had used them before or what the products are like. :happy2:
-
The bit I bought is just one piece.
I might just stick with it and just spend the time getting it right.
Yeah the front valance is all prepped just need to get the back bumper sorted then it will be in paint shop for painting
-
Looks nice that bumper :)
-
I'm thinking of getting the SRS-tec insert also, i already have the R32 bumper painted & ready. Nice to hear it's well made :happy2:
-
hey just a quick question, is this the osir item? did you say it is the quad? could you post a pic of the entire valance on your car? seems to be more indented than on the sample pic on their site. much prefer yours.

-
this also may be a really stupid question but could i use my ed30 rear valance on the r32 reflector section?

^^^^
Nice one, Dan :happy2: - Looks very good on a clean (very clean!) Steel Grey.
-
I thought it was steel grey until mixing the paint and it's united grey
Just need some 18s now I think
-
^^^^
Isn't it the same colour and VW just changed the name? Bless them! :rolleye:
Front splitter?.........
-
Not fitted the front yet. It's been repaired and Carbon is being repaired
-
Thanks for the pics mate, looks spot on, as will all osir stuff. Dshame they don't do it in just the normal twin.
Anybody know if my ed30 rear section would fit in the r32 lower bumper? Just want the reflectors not the black lower section?
