from what I've heard, the fit is good too. @ljc19630 (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=37183) put the R32 style on his and looks really good  :happy2:

Got mine from a great seller mom eBay called lothianautopartsuk. Excellent fit and £160 painted and delivered. Just also got a new front wing and again it’s a OEM fit(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/f6cb697a21c1b204131a9390780ae281.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/09a6ae150d00b446860214b591398f56.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/5729e67005b34763a227086e349df61f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/af8b91c4848d83fea9580f4f926a1ee4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/3c142bc51696ee7f2e254466d5fd95ce.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191016/e1d1031a008ad74f44c929be72b80ea9.jpg)

Should have added that I’ve painted the lower section myself as you’ll see in the last shot it’s grey and I also recently changed my zorst too

Fitted the lower bumper from maxton design, had to use self tapping screws to secure it to the rest of the bumper as it didnt have the clips(tabs).

Brembo 17z been on for a little while now feels great.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/7a5ab4cd148cd55cbe5fc30cef4865a8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200516/9d851b4f25231bd5479505de9047e8a1.jpg)
