Title: MK7.5 GTI TCR Rear Diffuser
Post by: daveface on 02 August 2019, 17:24

Hey all,

First real post, I picked up a black mk7.5 GTI about 2 weeks ago! The current rear diffusor has a small scuff that is annoying me lol so was looking at the tcr rear diffuser. https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tuning-and-exterior/spoilers-diffusers/gti-tcr-diffusor-vw-golf-7-original-volkswagen.htm

Question about it though, is it a direct replacement? Also what are the extra bits in the second picture?

Are there many good/useful changes that I could make with odbeleven? Is laneassit an option?

Also just ordered the metal foot rest from superskoda!

Oh and here's a pic because..

You need a different front camera for lane assist so it's not just a coding exercise unfortunately. If you Google vcds or OBD11 for mk7.5 golf you'll find loads of pages with things you can change.

Thanks, I guessed as much but worth asking  :smiley:

Had it on my Octavia vRS and found it really good + traffic sign recognition

The TCR diffusor should fit fine on a 7.5 just as the Clubsport S one fits the 7.

I'd advise hunting down a TCR to check out in the flesh, it's quite aggressive looking unless coupled with other bits it might look a little out of place.

Agreed, think it would look a bit odd on a GTI without adding any other extra body parts. Plus its gloss and all side and front splitter on the GTI are black plastic.

I would be very interested in details ease of fitting and how it looks once added.

I was looking at the Maxton diffuser instead, which is cheeper and fits over the current one - see below
