Is it true mate! Not worth the hassle of chopping your car up! Just get one custom made, or if you've got some extra pennies, Miltech do them :cool:

As above, the floor plan is completely different on the R32. Best of getting an exhaust that is designed for your car.

yes it's true m8, golf R32 floor is totally different  some people have custom r32 exhaust made up to fit a 1.8t or milltek do one  so it will fit the R32 rear bumpers
