help .....iv just spent hours lookin through threads on changing the rear to the r32 ...ok so iv ordred a miltek system with r32 back box made to fit...also mat at vw racing has ordered the rear valance from germany but heres where im stuck....On my ed30 the trim round the exhaust is black ...i was thinking pop his out and replace with the r32 black twin exhaust centre trim and im done ....is that right or will i need to change the complete lower section of the bumper...i like the ed 30 better as it has no reflectors....any ideas please

You will have to change the whole lower section of the bumper. If you dont mind me asking how much is it costing you? Ive been searching high and low for an R32 rear! Missed one on ebay the other week because I was out! :sad1:
This should help you! :happy2:

Is that brand new in primer? The whole of the bumper or just the lower section with valance and reflectors? Im not 100% sure but I do not think they are interchangeable! :happy2:

i thought the lower trim round the exhausts poped out as my ed30 one is black...

the ed30 is the same has all other golfs in that the cut out piece and the lower bumper are all one, on the R32 there is 2 separate pieces the lower bumper and the insert for the exhausts.

....Correctomundo!
The oem 'rear spoiler' (as VW call it) has various cut-outs to suit different exhaust configurations. You then buy an 'exhaust trim', aftermarket or oem, to suit.
Ed30 rear is one piece but looks like it could be two.
