^^^^ If you have a geniune R32 bumper you'll need a diffuser from someone like srs-tec (link below). Position of your side exit exhaust remains the same but can be tight to the R32 bumper so you'll probably need to remove some of the plastic (pic below).

does that single exit rear valance allow fitment of the standard exit exhaust position? or is it still positioned differently with the r32 rear

Thanks
I bought mine from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261346495307. It's ABS plastic, instead of fibreglass reinforced plastic that STS-Tec sells. Previously I had the GTI valance and I didn't need to alter the position of my exhaust tips.

I saw that you got a genuine R32 bumper, so MC71 already explained what you'll probably need to do. :smiley:
