Rear Valance options
« on: February 16, 2014, 08:01:56 pm »
Hey, I've just bought a '06 plate mk5 gttdi and looking to swap the rear valance for a gti one, the gti one comes with a cut out for the exhaust, just wondering if anyone has modified it so there's not one, or if there's any aftermarket ones without the cut out or is it just a case of changing my backbox?

Thanks.

I think Luke from Plush Automotive did this on his old mk5 gti. Search for his thread, should be around somewhere :)

The facelift TDI ones come with the cutout iirc and then it's just get one of them back boxes, a gti back box or an after market one

There's a fair few people that have deleted the cut out.

Any relatively good body shop will be able to do it for you

Hmm, okay, thanks, do you know if the gti backbox will affect the power at all or do they just have different tailpipes?
Thanks
