Title: Opinions on this rear please....
Post by: no golf clubs at all on July 03, 2010, 08:16:26 pm
I've been toying with the idea of taking of the milly quads and ABT rear valance for ages but have never managed to have the free cash to replace it with my preferred ed30 rear and milltek twin.

Then I came to this on eBay, I value the opinions on here, what do you reckon? For me it is a lot tidier than that i have a present and also it looks more vw (if that's possible with aftermarket quads)....it could be on and painted for about £350 but the ed30 and new milly will set me back circa £800-900!

 here's the rieger rear.

Here's my current set up

I am quite tempted by that rear as well after having the car! I found the bumper on a website in the USA for $799.   :laugh:

My favourite rear end on a GTI. But even with your discount it will still cost the same as a small Island.  :stupid:
I was chatting with Mat about this a year ago and even he was saying the price was bonkers.  :smiley:

Love vwr stuff but soz.....I Just don't geddit....that seems ott to me.  But that could be an age thing tbh..besides I'm not dicking with my parking sensors.


Interesting mix of opinions... More please.... Thanks for the appreciation of mine... Though for me it's too bling bling.

I dont get quads on a 4 pot. Quad exhaust says I have a high performance V6, V8 or 12.  Why try to be something your not.




Is it an inadequacy in the underpants department.

^^^^Lol I guess ......I do think (from those pics certainly) it looks are not to my taste, just looks too bloated IMHO. That said I don't like my quads either really (they were on when I got the car).  The performance is good though, super soundtrack. I think this thread is really making my mind up for me. Back to OEM, though there was an alternative to go similar to Reds (tho he's got sweeter tips), R32 rear and a carbon fibre insert. Someone on here was selling the cf insert a while back but can't seem to remember who....

I'd also need an R32 rear, which are really no cheaper than an ed30....
