Help needed - R32/Ed30 rear valance on GTI....

[RedRobin]

I've made my final choice and ordered the parts. R32 spoiler + OSIR CF tail pipe trim. I think it looks much more OEM and subtle [ Since when are quad exhausts subtle? I hear you say! ]

Obviously I'll post pics when ready in a few weeks.

Sorry if I seem to have got lost in all this... so we are saying the R32 rear spoiler will fit the standard GTI bumper but if your keeping the twin pipes which very bottom but do you need or does the standard GTI very bottom bit still fit the R32 rear spoiler?

 

Do like the R32 rear spoiler but obivoulsy I dont have quad outlets.  Let us know how easy this is to fit - assume the whole bumper comes off to swap the spoiler section.

RedRobin, Where did you get the CF VW logo and front bumper insert?

the R32 rear spoiler and ED 30 rear spoiler both fit the std gti but the ed30 exhaust trim does not detatch from the spoiler whereas the r32 and std gti exhaust trims are removable so carbon fiber replacments are available for these two spoilers.

carbon fiber replacments are available for 2exhausts (std) and 4 exhausts (robins)

i think

OK, but what if I wanted R32 rear spoiler for the standard twin exit - could I use the standard GTI lower paired with the R32 spoiler?

....CF VW badge from oempl.us America.

I assume you mean my CF front mask around the upper grill when you say "front bumper insert". If so, it's an OSIR part via the TTshop.

robin....if you look at your pic.....why is the honeycomb cut out in a square where your fog light is on the lower grill??

[Russ.C]

mine are like that as well! (check my sig) look better than the closed honeycombs IMO! In fact I think I did mine because I liked the look of RedRobins!

....Hi Joe,

The other fog panel is cut out too. The story is that on the very early Mk5 GTI's VW thought that they needed extra cooling to the DSG radiator. But they later discovered that it was ineffective and it wasn't needed anyway. Fischer Motorsport in Germany have continued to offer them for sale as aftermarket. Imo they look better because the solid panels look imitation grills.

I don't know if they are still available.
