I wouldn't use T-Cut as it's quite abrasive and you may scratch it. Wax will do the job, just something to break the sticky down to clear the left over adhesive!  :happy2:

i think there is a blank exhaust valance for the r32 right?]

you basically want to go from the big black plastic one piece GT lower bumper to the two piece GTI one? but without the cut out?
