Title: New Rear End
Post by: Alexis on December 03, 2013, 10:55:14 am
I finally got around to giving it a well deserved rear end overhaul :wink:

I fitted a R32 valance with an SRS diffuser, R32 rear lights, rear wiper delete, new number plate....oh and a wash :happy2:

I hope the other half isn't spying on me in here!

I picked the R32 valance up off ebay for £70 I think as it was a while ago and the diffuser was £170 with shipping from srs.de and fits perfectly, well impressed with it. So with the lights, body shop bills not much change from around £450.

I know I couldn't believe it when I found it on ebay with a 'buy it now' price, it was from a breakers yard  :wink:

The ED30/R32 rear lights & the R32 rear diffuser really set off the back. :happy2:

Looks nice
Good idea to keep the Gti twin exhaust cutout on the r32 bumper

Got them from this ebay shop, very good service and no documents required.
