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:

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.
