Title: Rear Bumpers for 2008 GT tdi 140
Post by: beemerpij72 on November 15, 2013, 01:02:47 pm

newbie post as i'm mulling replacing my 2005 e87 120d with a GT TDi (with a few mods - see below).

Love the look of the MK5 R32 rear bumper/valance. Found one of these (http://www.ppcgb.com/products/ppc-gti-exhaust-r32-look-rear-bumper-with-reflectors-fntng005) but am unsure if it'll look weird with the exhaust on a 140 tdi (I know it'll work with a 170 due to the twin pipes but I here they're a bit more problematic engine wise)

Cheers,

Pij

Build Plan:

Osir FCS GT2 (V3/4) Front Splitter      
PPC GTI Exhaust R32 Rear Bumper      
GTI Side Skirts            
Diederichs Radiator Grille kit (mesh)      
VW R36 style Alloys (18 x 8”)

They do one without the exhaust cutout, I plan to put that on my 140. Get a 140 and get it re-mapped to 170-180, that's what I also plan to do on mine  :happy2:

Cheers for the info fella. the non cutout version you mention doesn't appear on their website, are you sure they do one?

Ta,

Neil

You can easily put a GT170 or GTI backbox on, or extend the pipes as a 140 has hidden dual pipes.

Get a used Gti exhaust on eBay then just get an exhaust fitter to cut and weld it
Looks the business
