Aha.. Could be my mistake.. I missed that you want a GTI exhaust config for a R32 rear valance. It's finding the exhaust trim component which is the problem.

The GTI Valance is £50 then about £100 to get the smoothin / filling and agree the 'leave the bottom bit plastic' works the best

Had mine don by Panelcare in Rochdale - top job

I had a look into this RR, before opting for the genuine R32 valance. I couldn't find an OSIR or anyone else who makes a rear valance for the R32 to suit the GTI exhaust. They do however do many different types of valances for the GTI bumper....

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

This   http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK5-5-R32-Rear-Bumper-Spoiler-Valance-Body-Kit-/130421866462?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM#ht_3561wt_1137 is what you need if you want an R32 bumper, but finished for GTI tailpipes. I was going to do this on mine, but loved the centre exhausts too much to leave in the end.

+1  :congrats:

Great find.

I'm happy with my exhaust right now. Great if you want to keep the original exhaust though.
