Diffuser fitted today & new one was easier to fit than original was to remove :rolleyes: these pictures don’t do it justice, it looks amazing. Car is still not finished so it’s still up on a lift in the pics..

Was easy to fit using all attachment points used for original diffuser.

Looks great and glad it's a good fit  :smiley:

Diffuser has arrived &looks a perfect fit to replace the standard version. The car is currently infor paint correction & modesta ceramic coating so dropped In & took the standard diffuser off. Was a bit of a messy job but once off it looks like all the connection points on the rieger model line up perfectly so once the car is done I’ll put it on & update with pics.

Is it easy enough to get off in one piece should it ever need to go back on? And the new Rieger one defo needs no other attachments, uses existing mounts?

Very easy to take off... I know this cos it comes with a mounting bracket that attached to bolt holes where original mounted which I initially fitted backwards🥴 & had to remove diffuser cos the holes didn't line up. Once fired the correct way it went straight on. Very easy job to fit but the original is a bit fiddly to get off due to the plastic tabs being a bit stiff.
Overall you'll need someone to help, a car lift makes it much easier also, a hex/star socket wrench and from start to finish it takes less than an hour. Yes it uses existing points/holes to mount. & a couple of extra points to attach to the supplied bracket which are pre drilled when it arrives so you just have to fit the screws.
