    Reiger by far. Don't like much of their stuff, but thats one kit they've done well.

      if you don't want quad pipes (why add the weight?)... mattig or oettinger(pic below)
      In fact, with the mattig you could drop the twin exit pipes and just go for a single pipe pointing down, trimming more grams. The one-piece mattig looks hot, especially with the candy white colour coding you'd do.

        Where's the "less weight" option in the poll (no bumper at all - add lightness !!!)

          R32 bumper with the reflectors bogged up & smoothed.
          And the biggest diameter tips you can squeeze in (like those on the CW GTI in the pic).

            rieger rieger, it just seems to flow the nicest for me and also has plenty of "tuffness". Leave the R32 bumper for the R32's, it may make you seem like a wanna be . The Mattig is too boring and looks like a big whale lip. And the Hoffel just doesnt flow . . . just my 2cents

                I like the Hoefel as well, but it doesn' seem to integrate as well in that pic, there is a small step between the lower bumper and the tailgate visible across the rear but especially on the right hand edge.

                Mattig is second best (best for single pipes) but what have done with the exhaust? Migth even be better as one piece without the lower bit...

                Get the OEM colour coded is perhaps safest?

                  It's a bit of a fraud to have quad pipes on a 1.4.
                  I say hide the pipes and keep em guessing.

                    I'd go R32 all the way - just dont go putting R32 badges on it.

                    If you find someplace that sells one let me know -

                    best deal I got was from TM Tuning which was

                    $780 Au for the bumper + $590 for shipping. Total $1370 - ouch!

                        Yeah I am leaning towards the group that says quad pipes are overkill on 1.4

                        I really can only see 2 being justified and maybe even just a single! hehe.

                        The mattig is awesome for clean lines and it also removes the hatch blend issue if you look carefully as it is so flat.

                        The R32 would be able to be onsold to someone else with a CW MK5 later so that is probably where I am leaning ... also has almost same votes as reiger

                            Yeah, it is nice & smooth - very clean.
                            It'd probably be a fair bit more expensive wouldn't it, as you're replacing the upper bumper as well? Dunno.

                            True, it'd have more on-sell appeal - never thought of that.
                            Also likely to pick up one as a bargain from a forum somewhere as well - more of them to choose from.

                              I like RIEGER, sport, not too "racer", like those cheap dodgy ones, I think it's all about the sport appearance,

                              Polar?? any update?,

                              Are you going to get it from TMTunning?

                              Cheers!
