R32 and R line rear bumper owners .....

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

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?

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:
