Ok thanks dude! Any ideas on how much a full R32 rear would cost? (any excuse to not call a stealer - they are always complete muppets and don't seem to understand the concept of changing parts)

I had a suspicion that the lower parts were not interchangeable - firstly as many other people probably would have done it, and secondly, they looked slightly different shapes.

there are 3 sections upper bumper, then middle, then bottom (exhaust part). the middle and bottom have to be changed (part with reflectors). im not sure how much it is from VW as i baught a prepainted one off ebay for 100 notes  :cool:

....You need the whole R32 piece (with reflectors) which has cut-outs for all Mk5 exhaust configurations as the pic shows. And then an exhaust trim to add on around the pipe tips (not fitted in the pic).

I like this a lot, did RR not do this, he replaced his abt rear valance with the R32 spoiler and installed an OSIR C/F insert to accomodate his milltek quads?

I would love to do something like that, though having enough probs paying for motion lotion just now.... :cry:
