....It's a standard Mk5 R32 rear bumper but the photo is very distorted.

The great thing about them is that they have cutouts to allow most configurations of exhaust tips. Here's mine:

....The exhaust trim/valance is a separate aftermarket part unless you buy the standard Mk5 R32 exhaust trim to add to the bumper (VW call it a rear "lower spoiler").

Having no exhaust tips visible tends to indicate diseasal but each to their own.  :happy2:

I don't have current pics, but I'll show the progression before its current state and add some current pics another time;

After 1st round of mods


My favorite pic


Engine cover mod


Red Lamin-x tails with circles cut out for reverse beams to show through


Before the wreck in Nov '11


After the wreck damage was repaired


After changing the bonnet back to red


Smoke Lamin-x on the side signals


I no longer have the eyelids, black forge fmic, or the red Lamin-x on the taillights. My forge is straight alloy w/o paint, and the red Lamin-x tails have been uncovered now that I have the rear fog added.

....And A Warm Welcome to the forum!  :drinking:

Well, no-one can accuse you of not posting enough photos of your car!

They look so much better when colour coded without all the black plastic bits, in my opinion - Especially when red.
