you can buy a backbox off ebay for about £50, then the GTI valance for £45. very cheap mod really.
Then upgrade to a Milltek at a later date if you wanted.
I'm looking to do this but I can't find a GTi back box for anything close to £50, and don't suppose you know the part number for the valance?

here is mine , got my gti back box for £75 delivered off ebay. they only seem to come up every now and again. i would say this is the best place to keep an eye out as my gti owners would get a stainless one

I have got to do this, no if, no buts! It looks soooo much better than the nasty great lump of black plastic.........seems like I will be scanning the bay on a daily basis now.  :wink:

This may sound like a stupid question, but what would you recommend to type in the search box?  I tried Golf GTi silencer, exhaust, back box with no luck.

I appreciate that. 
Big Al mentions you could get the lower valance from the stealers for around 45 quid, is this right and any idea of the part number?

vRS Carl had a look earlier on EKTA but the only rear valance he could find was the one with the removable plate for tow bar installation, the part number for that was around £65 inc VAT, then the plate was a further £11!
Finally, is the finish slightly textured?

I had this in my watch list but I think it's cheaper from the stealers, going to give my local TPS a ring tomorrow.  :wink:

I've got a feeling I was watching it first.... :P  And I had texted Adam regarding posting and the possiblity of cutting it in to two pieces!

I know who got in there now. :sad:

Just another question:  Would a mkIV exhaust fit a mkV?  I have found one going cheap and from the picture it looks the same.....!

Picture of mine fitted.

Got a brand new backbox for £60 off eBay. Bargain!

Cost me £50 to fit it, which included welding a smaller pipe to the back box so it could clamp to the existing system.
