Mine is a Mk5 GTI, not Ed30, and has a R32 rear end but with a custom-built Milltek with ceramic coated quads and real carbon exhaust trim.

I've got pics if you want me to post any.

Neither... I'm cheating  :grin:

I really like the R32 bumper but I really DON'T like the centre exit exhaust. I'm going to give the one one ebay a try to see what's the quality's like. If it's good, then bingo... if it's crap then it's going straight back!

The top half of the bumper is exactly the same for all mk5 models. That link I posted was for the bottom half of the bumper. i.e. the part with the reflectors in and the black plastic section that surrounds the exhaust.

....The correct terms as used by VW are 'R32 Rear Spoiler' (what you're calling 'bumper') and 'Exhaust Trim'. The rear spoiler (not to be confused with roof spoiler) has cut-outs which allow all configurations of exhaust pipe/tip: twin, central, quad.

Red, are you saying that you can purchase the lower R32 rear spoiler and then cut it to suit what ever type of exhaust system you wish to run, because it is marked out.

I have been toying with this idea and deciding if to go with a Gti - R32 tail pipe section or purchase the lower section to suit the Gti as mentioned in this thread.

It's better to have Raced once in your life than be a Spectator for all of it.

....The oem R32 rear spoiler already has all the cut-outs for you. You just have to obtain the appropriate exhaust trim for the pipe configuration you want or have.

I posted a pic on this site once upon a time but it would take some finding!
