Title: My new edition 30 in white
Post by: Rudda92 on December 13, 2016, 06:57:44 pm: Bought this off a guy from this forum. Love the car. But not sure on the r32 rear end. Would like a standard one to swap if anyone knows anyone? anyway here(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20161213%2F3a861f3a19d1d9ba9ae8169cb0c7155f.jpg&hash=2f9ba8f2f2205f2f324f1a89bc8d0eb35100e247)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20161213%2F3d7d56da01635a20a4dc92e73097c1e1.jpg&hash=9d8e241c92fc11fb2f60385c8ef59d278c8b03b9) it is.

I think I'm the same as you - the R32 rear belongs on the R32! Hope you get it swapped out ok...

Agree with this - get an ED30 rear on that.

Lovely car though - from another candy white owner :happy2:

Love the rear end but can also appreciate why you would want to return it to a stand ED30 rear.

I like the look of the rear R32 bumper, but if it was my car would probably go for the standard edition 30 bumper as well.

If I were you I'd leave it a while as it may grow on you, at least whilst you keep an eye out for a ED30 rear bumper. Remember you may have to change the exhaust as well!

Post by: rdfcpete on December 15, 2016, 06:12:07 pm: Personally I'd leave the rear as-is, looks great IMO :happy2:

It looks perfectly OEM and tinkering is only gonna cost time and money for little gain IMHO. It's already tastefully done to a tee so wouldn't rush a decision :innocent: If it had six pipes or some sort of self-welded mess, maybe you could change it :laugh: :grin:

Candy White Ed30's are bit of a niche too so enjoy and keep it fresh :smiley:

Post by: Rudda92 on December 15, 2016, 06:58:18 pm: Oh yeah. I'm already on top of keeping it clean etc. Few little bits I wanna sort myself. Other than that. I love it
