Title: MKV R32 rear end on ED30
Post by: K1 on 24 January 2008, 15:45

Wondering if anyone on here can help with prices etc..
I'm thinking of buying the R32 rear apron to fit onto my ed30. Does anyone know how much this part costs? Will the Milltek r32 style exhaust fit onto the ed30? I have the normal GTI millteck on my ed30, and assumed it would fit, but my milltek retailer is not so sure. Milltek have yet to get back to me.
In your opinions, do you think the mod will destroy the ed30 theme? I'm worried that if i came to sell the car in future, this mod will make it less desirable. Cheers

definitely will not be E30 anymore with an R32 exhaust placement. I personally think middle exhaust make the car look fat.

As long as you keep the original parts then you can always change it back to stock if it became a deal breaker when selling. :wink:

Not quite the GTi look, but the best looking, modded GTi I've ever seen  :drool: :drool: :drool:
