Title: What rear bumper !!
Post by: Calproc on June 05, 2014, 01:56:38 pm
I'm wanting to change my standard gti rear bumper but I don't know what to get, the options that I have thought about so far are

Standard gti bumper colour coded
R32 rear with R32 style exhausts
Edition 30
R32 rear with the gti diffuser 

What do you guys reckon ?

Is it like the standard gti bumper or r32?

It is a standard GTi, but with US sized plates. I was half-joking as you wanted a change from the GTi styling.

That's what I'm thinking, went to a body shop yesterday to see if they could do it smoothed but he said it will crack what do you think ?

It would only crack if the bodyshop was terrible.

I looked at these but read a couple of threads about being a poor fit, put me off a bit.  I went for one of the ready to fit panels off ebay, OEM panel and the fit and finish is spot on.  The guys there were really helpful.

I'm sure a decent bodyshop would be able to sort that without it cracking

Had 1 of these without the exhaust cut outs, was an ok fit but can get a genuine r32 one for £120 off eBay

True that.

I'd go for the R32 with GTI diffuser though.
