Pirelli rear on a GTI

[EUS GTIMK5]

Had an accident, some one rear ended me whilst I was stationary. Not a lot of damage but enough to replace the rear black plastic section.

I asked the panel beater how much to fill, smooth and paint. He recommended not doing it as he said the paint would not hold very well as the rear plastic is flexible and the paint would crack with just the slightest touch.

Also he said a lotttt of work in sanding it down, costing many $$$$$$

So possible solution. Fit a Pirelli rear to it as this does not have the dimpled effect. Just need to prime and paint.
1 Has anyone fitted a Pirelli rear to a non-Pirelli GTI?
2. if not any experts out there know if it would just bolt on, e.g. is the exhaust in the same position, all the fixtures etc? I've got a June 2006 GTI and the Pirelli was a later model. Even though it looks like it would fit it doesn't mean that it will!

Any help or advice appreciated.

Try attaching a Jetta rear end to it, it'd look 100x better

Ha!

Actually the jetta rear valance does look great.
just not bolt-on compatible with a golf - but you should be fine with the pirelli rear.

I reckon it will fit. The only doubt I have is the slight flare where it meets the lower wheel arch. Slightly different shape to the standard GTI valance. Anyway, I'll try it and let you know if it works.
