GTD Rear Diffuser

[noel]

Has anyone painted the rear diffuser on their GTD or replaced it with anything different?

Is it simple to remove?

How does it compare to the GTI as I believe it is painted black?

Any pics would help. Thanks.

Here's my rear. Painted in the same metallic dark grey as the front spoiler bit. Don't know the paint code. Filthy pooh pipes.

Worth it. Makes the rear look classy and is very easy to clean. Do it!

Thanks. The cleaning and maintaining was my thoughts as well.  Is the R diffuser painted do you know?  I hadnt thought about dark grey I was thinking black but maybe too much?

Golf R rear is gloss black. Either anthracite or black will look good. I'd go for black as it will match the front grille and you won't have to go through the colour matching problems I had.

OK thanks for that

The R diffuser is gloss black plastic, like the B pillar stuff and as such will no doubt be a b!tch to care for methinks, i imagine a painted finish would be less hassle?
