Rear Diffuser
« on: 27 April 2020, 15:28 »
Was thinking of changing the rear diffuser on my Mk 7.5 GTI & have trawled the net looking for options. So far the main options seem to be either a maxton design onw, but this is only an insert for the current diffuser fitted (not especially keen on this) or else a TCR diffuser, which like some on here have said in other posts would look very aggressive with the other TCR parts (i agree) I'm not looking for something as visually aggressive as the  TCR variant, just want to improve the rear end a touch. Something like the Reiger one would be ideal but they don't ship outside Germany and from what I have read the clubsport one won't fit :rolleyes: has anyone seen any other options (reasonably priced)

Like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/28015569000

Looks like it's Mk7, which won't fit the 7.5 (I don't believe) due to the spacing of the pipes

The TCR diffuser is a bit OTT.
Even though it wouldn’t fit, the Clubsport diffuser is a bit too plain.

The Maxton is probably the best middle ground to be honest IMO.

I have the genuine Akra one which think isn't overly aggressive but isn't cheap.

My son has the TCR diffuser on his White silver 7.5 and without the extra stick on black bits it looks OK, he paid £282 delivered from Kunzmann, took about an hour to fit.
