here's a small update thanks to a good mate of mine timmy plastic the plastic welding legend, I managed to collar him for a couple of days to make a start on the first stage of my rear bumper.











then i had a custom hidden tailpipe made to work with the new rear bumper.

not sure i'm a fan of hiding the tailpipe but the way its been done does look factory fresh 

[WhiteGTI]

Not something that I'd do or even consider, but it looks like you've done it very well indeed. May I ask why you would want to hide the exhaust??

cheers mate i knew people might not agree with it i'm just into the smooth look when i get the aire on and get it laying on the deck i think it'll look alot cleaner from the rear.

As above it's a bit random now but playing the long game when i'm laying on the deck it'll work alot beter from the rear  

Still got to smooth the grain out of the bottom half of the rear and colour code it but this will happen when i shorten my number plate recess.

Thought about doing that in the past but was nver sure if it would make it look like a GTI replica. Have you removed the back box to put the downswept pipe on?

Its a magnex stainless system the last bit of the tailpipe just un bolted, so i had the exhaust place replicate it but just put a downturn on instead of the twin no back box's have been lost and the system sounds the same as it was.

I'm not overally fussed if it looks like a replica as long as it doesn't go like a replica when i'm finished lol

I love smoothed rears  should look very effective when its on the deck.

I think it looks pefect mate, Just wish i had had the balls to do it first, Although i do like the exhaust on Jeroen Dik's old GTi, (before the smash) just a shame i cant find any pics other than the ones in PVW.
