If you plan on keeping everything else standard, go for a V6 4Motion rear valance with twin pipes to suit. Dont try pop a tip under the standard valance. It looks terrible. Another option if you want an exposed tip, is to get an Anniversary style valance with tip to suit.

As for the actual exhaust, I've a full Non-Res Milltek system on my Anniversary and I love it.

My Anniversary rear. If I had a standard Golf this is the way I'd go.



Rio, you did a great job at cutting that valance. First time I've seen a standard valance without the exhaust just stuck under it. Nice work.
