Im not one for knock offs / non- genuine parts but he has sold a lot of these in the past few weeks with great feedback from the buyers.
How bad can they be?.....Ive been waiting a while to find rear bumper to spray in Tornado Red and get fitted. Non have come up on here in my price range
Worth a punt?......Opinions welcome......... :popcornsoda:

^^^^
I'd worry about the fit of these. Some of these non OEM bumpers are shocking, with clips not lining up or the whole bumper being to big or to small. I have no knowledge of this one, may be the best one around. You pays your money....
Have a look at Ready To Fit Panels, couple of peeps including brookesb32 (Simon) on here have used them and seem very happy with the quality and colour match.

They also sell on eBay. Their ebay advert for the Mk5 GTI bumper...

At that price though i could just get my standard bumper professionally sprayed for £120 at my body shop.
I want the Ed30 or R32 back end really.....
-
I keep getting really tempted by one of the R32 rep bumpers with the GTI exhaust cutout.
Eurotuning ED30 rear (http://www.eurotuningshop.com/produkt/golf-v/rear-valance-vw-golf-v-gti-edition-30-with-1-exhaust-hole-for-gti-exhaust.html)is even cheaper than ebay too

I'm sure that link is just a painted GTI bumper, the R32 has reflectors and slightly shaped.

The one i linked was an edition 30 style rear bumper,
If you look on there site they do a R32 one with a lefthand cutout for the same price.

That you did, my mistake. :ashamed:
-
Both sites sell them :happy2: but what im really trying to find out, which site makes the best quality ones with the best fit? Anyone know?
-
I would love to know too.
-
Buy one and find out!

I would love to know too.

Ok, well someone who is richer than me please buy one and let me know :signLOL:

Or all chip in together and i will test fit in on my car. :signLOL:

Jay, dont you already have your front and rear bumpers done?
-
Ok, im gonna take the plunge with this British company : http://www.ppcgb.com
But the tough choice is R32 left hand side exit twin pipes or the R32 twin centre pipe option....Aaaaahhhh, cant make my mind up
Any opinions ( mine is Tornado Red)
-
What's the price difference? My preference would be the twin centres... Otherwise I quite like a Cupra single oval pipe on the left..
-
i'd go r32 left hand side, otherwise its more cost changing to R32 style back box
-

They are both the same price i think.
I would be ok changing the exhaust. Just dont know rear end to get .....tough choice :scared:
-
R32 style for me :wink:
-
I may wade in and buy the one with no cut out for my TDI - but I need to also find out an edition 30 front lip or just a GTI one that can be painted.
-
won't the left hand exhaust make it look unique, and not just a R32 fake, as its not an R32.

Yeah a few people say that. Im in 2 minds. Im not trying to make a fake R32, just love the two centre pipes rather than at the side. I would always leave the GTI badge on.
But i dont want people thinking im trying to do that.
Tough choice :scared:
-
^^^^ I much prefer the central exhaust exit and am not bothered if peeps think my Eddy is a R32. Go for the central twin tips, look much better IMHO.
If you want side exit, check out SRS TEC. Whole rear section (its all one piece, lower section and valance), just needs painting, fairly cheap TBH.....

Or same price for R32 rear end (still one piece I believe)....

I know, tough choice....

having a diesel, i would probably go for the smooth look, just to add a 3rd option in there... :P

Tomorrow is the day......R32 centre or R32 left cut out? :scared:
-
It really depends on the amount of £££ you want to spend... If you're on a budget get the r32 left cut out so all you have to do is get it sprayed.... If moneys not an option, get the r32 centre with a new milltek exhaust :P

I contacted him and his price for the complete rear bumper is £175.
-
Personally i would go for a left cutout but that is only because i like it a bit different and have already changed my exhaust.

x1 that would be my preference. The looking like a r32 when it isnt an r32 doesnt sit well with me.

Go with your gut feeling, Your car so it only has to make you happy

My choice would be twin centre pipes as I prefer the look...I maybe slightly biased though :wink:
Mine (excuse the dirt and missing cover, only 2 pics I currently have, need to get some more when the weather gets better):

Yeah mine is a genuine R32 bumper. The BCS is the most expensive thing on my car, was £1200 fitted...but well worth it :happy2:

No not yet mate, they emailed me a few days ago said they had a bit of delay with the snow and bank holiday, should arrive this week. Will post some pics when on :happy2:

Cool
Just got a gti front bumper ordered so looking at this for the rear while I'm doing it.

Ok, so the bumper finally arrived to day after a bit of a mix up, snow and bank holiday. After unpacking it and checking it over i was very impressed. It feels very solid and was built / moulded.
It is very smooth so i dont think it gonna need any extra prep work. Im taking it to my body shop guy this week, ill then know how good it actually is (like fit wise and stuff)
Think im going Red and main Section and Gloss or Mat Black on centre lower section.

That looks really good quality Ross, nice one matey. Wish I'd have seen these before buying an OEM one! :laugh:
I've got my R32 rear with a Gloss Black valance and looks a lot better than the standard finish and also gives a much better definition against the red and if you have other Gloss Black features (as i do) such as the mirror casings and front splitter it will all tie in nicely.
:drinking:
-
these are spot on, my mate has one
-
same copy i have on my car, had it a year. they are a good fit. :smiley:
-
Small thread hijack. Can anyone with this bumper measure from the top edge of the bumper part to the centre of the tailpipe please? Or anyone with an r32 rear.
Just making an r32 back box fit my GTI but I don't have the r32 lower yet
-
Has anyone actually got pictures of this fitted?
