Cheap Ebay Rear Diffuser Install
So i bit the bullet and went for a cheap diffuser for the rear, was a little bit probalamatic to install but i got there in the end and didnt need to remove the bumper. thought i would just add this info for anyone else considering it
Fitment wasnt great, it seems a little bit too short and i failed multiple times to get it fully clipped in. How i ended up doing it was lining up the middle and being very careful with the clips as i found clipping them in sometimes pulled the diffuser to the left or right. Once that was done i basically pulled on the end as hard as i could, fastened the furthest screw in at an angle, and then straightened it up to pull on the plastic. Once both sides were in i pushed all the clips in which did take some force as it didnt quite reach one side. The left side clipped in no problem, the right side clipped in with a lot of force, but then would pop back out after 30 seconds. I've propped a piece of wood to hold it in place and hopefully get the plastic to mould to the right shape, removed it for a few mins and it seems to have worked but will leave it over night to be sure. Overall it took me just over an hour to install, while fitment wasnt great its fine now its all in place, and considering it was £110 for the rear diffuser and a front splitter then i really cant complain! for those that do want a cheaper option then i wouldnt worry about it, just be prepared that it may not be a quick job to install. |

Great deal, though. Looks better than stock OEM.
