however, for the money the fit of the OSIR one is rubbish and takes alot to get it to sit into the recess correctly without it popping out. dont see it as a holy grail of a valance as some R32 owners do...as it will only disappoint.


....Drill holes in the tabs and oem section and use cable ties for a tight fit.

It means you have to cut and replace the cable ties if you need to remove the exhaust trim but that's no big deal.

HTH  :happy2:

I think you need the foam insert or you can chop the one on your car up to fit.  I think I will buy it saves messing around and will be a perfect fit :happy2:

Do you mean your old bumper or the r32 one? I thought it would be as easy as taking old off, zoorst on, change the foam and whack the r32 on! Maybe not!  :confused:

A list of what is needed would be of great use to me too!  :happy2:

I think that would be your only option mate! I got mine of ebay for £25!  :smiley:
Obviously it needs repainting and I have a few other little bits planned  :innocent:
I think from VW its around £250! :surprised:
