Is the ED30 rear valance a straight swap with the standard gti valance??
« on: 06 April 2008, 19:00 »
As above, I'm planning on keeping the GTI a couple more years so I'm contemplating either a) colour coding the front splitter, skirts and rear valance or b) doing the same but with the ed30 rear bumper. I'm a big fan of the back of the ed30 and i already have the darkened clusters so i'm thinking that is the way to go. Has anyone got any idea if the bumpers are straight swaps??

Many thanks Ryan

i'm sure there was a thread not long ago about the gti and ed30 rear bumpers being different for some reason. i'd like to know myself as some knob end drove into the back of my ed 30, i need the whole lot. the repair garage are saying its a different part and that they can't get one, its on back order. in the meantime i've got a vectra sri- what a steaming pile of s**t :sick: i'd like to know what else would fit, i'd pay the extra just to get my car back.

Excellent thanks. 

Do you think colour coding and replacing this valance would make any difference to the insurance?

from what i can remember the exhaust trim is not detatchable on the ed30 but is on the gti and r32. the middle section is removable from the upper section on all three. im awaiting a milltek from awesome and then will have an r32 rear  :evil:

So that means it is a straight swap then?  Has anyone else done this, i'm struggling to find anything?
