My r32 milltek exhaust sat like that, loosen the clamp between the centre section and the downpipe/milltek connecting pipe and tap the whole thing back with a rubber mallet. Loosen the rear section clamp and tap the tailpipes up to sit closer to the bumper

thanks bud , seen there was some adjustment if needed in they areas you mentioned when i was fitting   
ran out of time today so ill need to do some adjustments next week.

cheers guys 
saw the bootlid on ebay , so contacted the company by phone and done a deal 
hopefully have a carbon bonnet for the summer, keep seeing more carbon bits i want too but its damn expensive

Any plans to paint it?
I am a big fan of carbon, but don't like the thought of having large panels that don't match, Or if you left a centre strip in carbon?

Did you get the R32 US style bumper from VW? if so how much did you pay for it as I have toyed with getting one sorted.
Also had the Milltek R32 style exhaust, and hated the fact the backbox hung so low, so much so that when I had the FK coilovers on I was scooping up empty beer cans on the way to work one day by accident!

got myself a US R32 back end,Milltek R32 zorst and also a Seibon carbon bootlid 

That's the moneyshot right there, that's a rear end to die for, really good looking 
Are you planning to leave it in carbon?
Also i'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on fitment, and day to day use of it. Have you fitted shocks  that are weaker than stock? Have you sounddampened it??
Again a great looking rear end

Big al - not planning on painting it as I like the slight contrast, altho not sure if I would do it if my car was a lighter colour.
The plan is to get the grill, bonnet, exhaust surround and wing mirrors carbon too and a darker or carbon roof, but right now my bank says no 
Pretty sure the exhaust was originally yours too Al ,Think you sold it to tonygti
there's a can shaped dent on the back box aswell

Danishmkvgti - the fitment isn't a 100% but I can easily live with it as I'm not overly picky , was disappointed tho as the high level brake light doesn't fit at all !!! I wasn't planning on getting a carbon spoiler but it is now a must 
I haven't fitted any sound Damping or the interior boot panel and I personally don't think the cabin noise has increased that much , no change to the shocks either altho when you push the handle you have to step back quick or you'll get a face full of bootlid  don't actually use my boot that much so right now it works for me

Looks awesome! Love the carbon and the American spec rear bumper, always looking for them but they don't come up often. Did you buy ures from vw mate? Pm me if u want.

THIS CAR IS BLOODY LOVELY!!! wish i had the money!! top work!

[stealthwolf]

Looks awesome. I was thinking carbon roof and bonnet would make it all looks so much better.

[tommy_a]

that rear end looks very      very nice car overall aswell !!

Got my mate to buy the bumper while he was working in the US last year, wanted a US plate too but he couldn't get one

Hi RT, looks luvly, did you notice what the weight differrence was? It must fly up, mine comes up pretty fast and I've only taken out the Washer/Wiper & inner panel.

I was looking at these just for weight saving but I think I'd be better off saving weight at the front as the backs empty anyway. Carbon roof saves 10kg from Performance Trim but not sure what it looks like on the inside (no roof linning!), and carbon wings which are 10mm wider.
