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

[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!

so you cut your out your self? looks way better, cant believe i only just realised this, is it possible to cut them all out? how would i do this, a shap stanly knife?

No you buy them like that, they replace the current panels! see here: http://www.fischermotorsport.de/Volkswagen/VW-Golf-Mk5-VW-Jetta-Mk5/GTI-Mk5/open-front-grille-VW-Golf-5-GTI-6.743.html

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 

....Spot on!! You got it absolutely right - Thanks

So now we're back to the standard GTI having a detachable exhaust trim from the spoiler?
I meant to phone the TTShop today - but I didnt get a second to myself at work.

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?

I want to know the answer to this too!  It all depends on whether the GTI exhaust trim is removable from the GTI spoiler.

I've said it before and have been corrected -  but I still maintain the std. GTi rear valance is one-piece 

Look here

....I think you are right but I don't actually know for certain. I wish I still had mine so I could confirm.

....Have you phoned the TTshop (Justin/Dave 01234 853 225)? They may be able to tell you which spoilers OSIR's carbonfibre DTM_GT2 exhaust trim will fit. Ignore the pic being quads - OSIR do a twin version.

Is the car in that picture in fact a 'standard' GTI ... ?

Still giggle we call it the 'Standard' GTI, hell man its the original!

I called Justin at the TTshop today and explained my situation.

After a bit of humming and heying and looking at some pics, he told me that an OSIR GTI carbon fibre valance will NOT fit on an R32 rear spoiler.  The R32 rear valance clips onto the bumper - but the GTI one wont have the clips to fit.
He thinks the GTI one is designed to be stuck ontop of the existing one - but cant confirm.
He did offer to order me an R32 spoiler in and they would try fitting the GTI valance there - so save sending it to me if it didnt fit.  I would only need to pay a £15 or so restocking fee for the spoiler if I didnt need it.

Looks like I'm just going to have to wait for an Ed30 spoiler with built on valance...

Looks like it may be a bit of a bonus for me then . I suspected that the CF would be a stick on part over the existing section as I mentioned to RR. I'll be taking my chances on it in any event. If they can't fit it onto the existing ED30 section then I will buy what I need and fit myself anyway.
All I need to do now is break the news to them (gently) that they will have to re-site my reverse camera

How much is the carbon rear trim for the R32? Anyone know??? Anyone got any pics?
