View Full Version : Cant find any parts R36
Why is it so difficult to find after market parts for the R36? Every man and his dog seems to do parts for the R32 / GTI / GTD but nothing for the bloody R36 its really starting to frustrate me. Not sure what the fuss is about the R32 considering how slow they are compared to the R36.
On this occasion im looking for tail lights... Sometimes like this.

The R36 is a aimed at a different market than the Golfs and Polos. Some of the performance items for the R32 Golf can be used on the R36 like intakes etc.
BTW those taillights are horrendous.

An all-paw V6 is a rarity in a hatchback, so I think that forms a significant part of the appeal. Plus that engine note...
The R36 may be quicker, and it's still a VR6 configuration, but the engine note isn't quite as good as the R32's.

I'm with Lucas_R. Please don't.
The target market that the R36 is aimed at tends to be a bit more conservative, so the sleeper look of the R36 fits right in - for me, the sleeper look was a large part of the appeal. Making the R36 louder visually would IMHO be detracting from the vehicle rather than enhancing.
The R36 is what R32 buyers buy when they grow out of the R32. :)

Yeah I'm not too sure about those either...subtle mods is what the R36 is about IMHO.
I've done quad rings but given it's using the OEM lights it still looks factory
