Title: R32 Rear Bumper with normal GTI exhaust trim?
Post by: NORTHERNER76 on February 10, 2009, 01:46:49 pm: Hi all,

Anyone know a trim which would allow me to fit an R32 bumper but use it with the standard GTi exhausts? I.e. the R32 bumper comes with cutouts for various exhaust configurations (dual exhaust on passenger side, dual exhaust on drivers side, dual exhaust on both sides, R32 exhausts...etc) - I want to fit an R32 exhaust, get that colour coded and use it with my existing bog standard GTi exhaust - then at some point in the future (when funds allow) I will replace the exhaust with the R32 configuration... only problem is that I can only find the bottom trim with a cutout for the R32 exhausts... just wnat something cheap really as it will be a temporary measure so that rules out OSIR and the like... Dealers have been pretty poor at coming back to me with anything other than confusion!

Cheers

Gary

Bugger!! Ã‚Â£250 for the trim configured for the GTi!! Hmmm.... the standard R32 part from the Dealers is approx Ã‚Â£80... so thats another Ã‚Â£170 spent just get it on a GTI - might as well just put that towards the Milltek! :laugh:
