Post by: Top Cat on February 24, 2009, 08:14:42 pm: "And now for something completely different"

Well not really different but its a twist on an old favourite, the R32 rear end. :smiley:

Where did you get that exhaust from mate? Looks great by the way :happy2:

Its a Blue flame exhaust Jonny and its louder than we thought it was going to be,I think because its basically straight through.
And it keeps getting louder :scared:

You wanna hear the DGS burps at around 4000 RPM. :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Post by: animal on February 25, 2009, 06:57:46 pm: Looks good TC. Are those darkened R32 style LED rears or is it just the photo?

And out of interest, why does the R32 rear have reflectors and other models dont?

They are just the standard LED lense which is the same shade as the ED 30 & R32 :happy2:
Couldn't tell you why on the reflectors, maybe they just thought it aided the design. :smiley:

Post by: RedRobin on February 25, 2009, 07:20:10 pm: ....

I think the reflectors are something to do with the American market but it might be new EU rules - I dunno for sure but I'm glad you kept them - Would look too much with the seamless "I don't have a panty line" look. (IMO)

Looking cool and those LED tails really suit the Candy White best of all methinks.

Looking forward to hearing those pipes!

Cheers RR. I wondered if it might be something to do with the Yanks, but then, they have US spec front bumpers with intergrated reflectors/markers - I wonder why VW felt the need to have a 'global' rear for the R32. Or perhaps it was purely an aesthetic thing? And it seems I might be in the minority in thinking that they make the R32 backside look a little busy. I think I'd smooth them out, but as you say Robin - ETTO :happy2:
