Quick favour can anyone with either of the above measure the gap between the outsides of the exhaust cutouts from side to side if that makes sense ?
I have a plan brewing :D
-
johnnyturbo should b along soon :smiley:
-
Lol i presume theyl will be the same length and looking at pictures the height of the insert/holes will be fine aswell

Your plan is to convert an R32 bumper to fit the R-line insert and produce your very own R-line rear bumper at approximately half the price! :nerd:
-
^
Where can you buy the inserts? and would you have to chop up the R32 bumper with the twin slots for the exhauts to do this?
-
Wrong but i saw that just a minute ago whilts looking and it dont look half bad except the remaining gaps need to be smoothed !

Hmm, i am intrigued as to what your plan is :huh:
The only reason i said what i said, was because i considered (for about two n a half minutes :grin:) attempting this with my genuine R32 rear bumper :undecided: Then i thought it was too much of a gamble on a genuine bumper to piss about with, also, i like the standard r32 rear with my Milltek R32 system :cool:
Back to your original request; if it stops pissing it down with rain, i'll go measure up the bumper (which should be on my car, but is cutting a lonely figure in the back garden) :lipsrsealed:
-
Well if it all measures up it will deffinitly be original :evil: if you could measure from the bottom of the bumper to the top of the hole things and the bit in the first post it would be hugely appretiated ! :grin:

-
Havent got one mate lol. Don't let that stop u :D
-
Maybe someone saturday will have one for me :rolleyes:
-
Until i find out the size of this diffuser/valance/insert what ever you want to call it nothing will be happening its just food for thought and could be a very expensive mistake if it goes wrong ..... il need a rep r32 rear and the mistery item that alones going to cost ?200 ish then theres the whole fact of butchering the bumper to get it to fit soon as i get these other measuremens il let on to a bit more but i dont want to go running my mouth about ideas that may never happen but if it does work then itl still cost half the price of an r line and look very similer :evil:
-
Ohhh, so essentially you'd be making your own insert, hence why you need the dimensions :wink:
Where's JohnnyTurbo?! I would have thought one sniff of R-line in a thread n he'd be all over this like a dog on heat, he is R-line guy after all!! :laugh: :laugh:
-
Don't panic am here recess is appx 1110mm long
-
I was getting worried about you! lol! :laugh:
-
That's 1110mm at its longest point as u all no the rline insert isn't squared ends its rounded and tapered
-
This matey seriously needs to pm me back i need to know if its even potentially possible !
My only clue is that its another insert with 2 exhaust cut outs ......
-
Just buy. Rline one and be done with it lol
-
hmmm mk5 r32 style exhaust?
-
hmmm mk5 r32 style exhaust?
:sick: Exhaust pipe are too close together IMO!!
-
you can have r line with a number of different exhaust setups and mk5 style as in middle side by side actually looks really good tbh :cool:
-
No No No too close together! The mk5 R32 would look so much nicer if the exhausts where apart like the mk4 r32.
-
no no no lol thats why its nice cos you dont see it to often on a mk4 which is good cos its always the same old stuff
-
No No No too close together! The mk5 R32 would look so much nicer if the exhausts where apart like the mk4 r32.
+1
Mk4 R32 exhaust position - Spot on :cool:
Mk5 R32 exhaust position - Too close together :sick:
Mk6 R exhaust position - Pretty much the same as the Mk5 :undecided:
-
That could look pretty cool to be fair but unfortunetly its not ..... and its not vag related either which also means it doesnt have "scene" tax on it
-
I've got it! I've got it!!

-
not saying it wont look nice apart but its nice to see summat different on a mk4 instead of the same old sh!t which as been done to death :grin:
-
would help if it was vag :wink: :laugh:
-
If it is the mk5 r32 rear he is doing on mk4 best of luck to ya mate shown me if u do it,, I wanted to do it but like every 1 saying mk4 r32 rear = sexy :) that's wot iv gone for

Cus he can :tongue:
My first car was a 1.4 Mk3 Golf, that I badged up (as well as skirts, arches, interior etc) as a GTI, because I liked the style over standard, but I couldn't afford the real thing, let alone insurance! :kiss:
-

-
Anyone anygood with photoshop ?
-
Just buy. Rline one and be done with it lol
