Help: Removing rear diffuser
« on: 31 May 2011, 14:07 »
Hi guys, I recently bought a carbon rear diffuser and would just like to find out if there's maybe a DIY for removing it out there (yes I did search)...reason I'm asking is that I dont want to break any hidden plastic tabs...

Undo 4 (?) torx screws and then yank it out with a bit of strength. The bumper does wobble and bend in the process and it is a slightly terrifying procedure. :grin:
