Title: Where I can get this rear valance
Post by: clive_gti on January 25, 2011, 09:18:06 pm: I have the R32 rear but want to keep the GTI exhaust configuration if possible, not worried about carbon fibre etc would prefer a finish to match the unpainted skirts.

Post by: clive_gti on January 25, 2011, 10:38:18 pm: I've searched the net and can't find this exhaust trim for sale so any help is appreciated.

I'm starting to think the best option is to get 1 or 2 standard R32 exhaust trims and plastic weld them into one of these. I wouldn't have a clue where to start with that though.

Post by: smoftah on January 27, 2011, 08:43:09 am: I have one of these fitted to my car but I colour coded the bottom part to the inside grey colour of the Monza's:

I bought it from ebay for £159. Here is the link:

The seller has not got any ads for it at the moment but you can email him directly and order it :happy2:
Title: Re: Where I can get this rear valance
Post by: clive_gti on January 27, 2011, 09:38:28 am: Looks even better in your pics SMOFTAH!!

Is it a one piece item or do u need the R32 rear also?

If one piece what is the fit like?

Cheers Clive

Post by: Gtiain on January 27, 2011, 10:22:23 am: That looks good but I already have the r32 bumper from the dealers, I just need the valance :happy2:
Title: Re: Where I can get this rear valance
Post by: smoftah on January 27, 2011, 10:25:45 am: Thanks :happy2:

The top bumper is the standard bumper on the car already.

If you can see from half the number plate down this is all one piece.

The rear valance just clips into the standard top bumper but it took some work to make it fit with mastic to hold it into place.

Same here.. I have emailed the seller to see if he has any left but I was hoping the exhaust trim would be a separate piece to fit my R32 part.

I might be interested in doing a joint purchase on the valance with you? See if we could get some discount on buying two at the same time??

Just looked at this and it looks good. But why do you have to buy the oem r32 valance aswell? Thanks.

Yes i believe you need the R valance to bolt this on as its a two piece :happy2:
Title: Re: Where I can get this rear valance
Post by: clive_gti on January 27, 2011, 10:06:08 pm: Thanks for the links guys. I have emailed srs-tec.de to find out how much postage to the UK would cost and for pics of the item before fitting.
