Title: ED30 rear valance
Post by: hotrod on 24 January 2008, 13:55: Hi, Do any of you experts know if there is a black valance cover/trim to break up the expanse of colour on the rear bumper (ED30). IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m sure IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve seen one on an american golf, and it wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t painted.

Any clues?

R32 rear end looks hot on the Ed30.

I can get more pics and post tomorow if you have something else in mind.

Post by: RedRobin on 25 January 2008, 22:13: Am I right in thinking that the UPPER section of the rear valance is exactly the same on the Ed30 as the Mk5 R32. does anyone know please?

The valance image looks like itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s fitted on a GTI, does anyone know if it will fit an ED30?
