Beefs up the front end nicely. I've never been a big lover of the aluminium effect front of the R32, but giving it that little bit extra is all good :cool:

Doesn't look as if it doesn't belong either :smiley:

VW sometimes need a bit of guidance on styling. :grin: The 32 should come with a small splitter as standard just to make it a bit more aggressive.
I sometimes think they should have made the stance of the 32 wider.Its to similar to the GTI,perhaps slightly wider arches(RS4 style).maybe deeper air dams t the front also.

Oh and an extra 20 -30 BHP,Come on VW, BMW squeeze 343BHP from their e46 m3.
Maybe one day :smiley:
