I'm sure this has been posted before, whats the steps in removing the rear diffuser on the MK6 ED35 as I want to get it painted... :smiley:
-
Assuming it's the same diffuser as the 'normal' GTI then there are a few torx screws underneath along the bottom edge where it joins the bumper then you prise off the diffuser slowly as there are hundreds of little tabs along the top. 5 min job max.
-
Ok thanks for that will have a go... :smiley:
-
If my memory serves me right there are about ten torx screws?
-
I seem to remember 4 at the rear...about 10 for the front lip.
-
i think its four, piece of cake to remove, bit harder to clip back on due to bumper deforming which was sorted with a rubber mallet and some bubble wrap
-
Thanks guys...will have a go at the weekend...not sure about the rubber mallet to put it back on but will see... :cry:
-
Anyone painted this part gloss black, if so any pics? Thanks.

Is that a cable or a hose that looks like it's sat on the right tailpipe mate?

Dunno, I thought that when I first took picture buts its that far back that I can't actually reach. I'd forgotten all about until you've just brought it up, lol.

Thanks for posting that pic, I now have a set of Golf R rear LEDs sat in my shopping basket and my finger hovering over the submit order button.....just weighing up how much trouble this may create for myself with the better half :grin:
-
^^Worry about that AFTER you've ordered them!! >:D

Just do what they do and say, they have been in the wardrobe for ages, your mum gave you them or you got them in a sale at a ridiculous price.
Or if she's anything like my Mrs just put them on and she probably won't notice :laugh: I changed from an RCD510 to the RNS510 and she never noticed a thing. Put the Nav on and when the directions were spoken out she said "I've never heard that before"........."I've just never used it before dear!!" :whistle:
-
You guys :grin:
Done it :evil:

Just gave mine a quick wash and had a look, it looks like it's the spring, I think your picture just makes it look really close to the exhaust? ???
