Bought this off a guy from this forum. Love the car. But not sure on the r32 rear end. Would like a standard one to swap if anyone knows anyone? anyway here it is.

Car looks great! White will be hard to keep clean, but looks fresh when cared for!
I think I'm the same as you - the R32 rear belongs on the R32! Hope you get it swapped out ok...

Agree with this - get an ED30 rear on that.

Lovely car though - from another candy white owner  :happy2:

Cheers guys. Don't get me wrong. Love the car. But want it original I think. Just know an edition 30 valance is 250 quid from dealer with discount. Then there's buying another exhaust and getting it painted

Just realised this is the one that was advertised with the Gold BBS alloys right ? It looks amazing.

Love the rear end but can also appreciate why you would want to return it to a stand ED30 rear.

Nice eddy.

I like the look of the rear R32 bumper, but if it was my car would probably go for the standard edition 30 bumper as well.

I'm not always a fan of cosmetic mods but I actually quite like it, it doesn't look out of place to me. If I were you I'd leave it a while as it may grow on you, at least whilst you keep an eye out for a ED30 rear bumper. Remember you may have to change the exhaust as well!

Personally I'd leave the rear as-is, looks great IMO  :happy2:

It looks perfectly OEM and tinkering is only gonna cost time and money for little gain IMHO. It's already tastefully done to a tee so wouldn't rush a decision  :innocent: If it had six pipes or some sort of self-welded mess, maybe you could change it  :laugh: :grin:

Candy White Ed30's are bit of a niche too so enjoy and keep it fresh  :smiley:
