Let me know if you do fancy a swap in the future, I've got a colour coded GTI rear but I am partial to the R32 rear end. Oh, mines Tornado Red too :happy2:

Thought I'd have a crack at smoothing the grille, it's come out pretty good with only a few small imperfections which will be sorted over the weekend with a bit of flatting an polishing
