What do people think about putting an R32 rear valance on an ed30 ?? I just cant get it off my mind?? My ed30's on the way and I wanna get the milltek system on it when its finally on sale!!!!, but coupling it in with an R32 backbox. The car's white so I think the contrast of the black plastic at the bottom of the R32 bumper would make it look awesome. I know the heritage of the ed30 means a lot and I promised myself I would not fiddle with the exterior apart from wheels but after looking at TampaVW's GTI who's done it to his I cant stop thinking how good it would look, HELP!

Where's that picture from?? that valance is awesome it looks like it's different from the oem one, it has some sort of diffuser on it, different from the plain black plastic of the original VW part.

Is this is the one you are looking for

IMO it looks better than the R32 rear. The R32 rear exhausts look like they are squashed too close together and this one looks more balanced.

Personally, I think putting R32 valance on GTI is blasphemy both towards GTI and towards R32. Towards GTI because it makes it look like R32, towards R32 because GTI can never imitate THAT sound, and I associate twin pipes with R32 sound.

Moreover, I am an adherent of Q-carness minimalism, in the sense that if I were to tune my GTI, I'd leave it looking stock (except for slightly lower suspension). I'd never put 4-pipe on the back, or do R32 thing. I'd leave my asymmetric two-pipe on a standard valance.
