It’ll be interesting to see how you get on with this as from what I can see, the 7 and 7.5 Lower bumpers are completely different profiles...  :huh:

Diffuser has arrived &looks a perfect fit to replace the standard version. The car is currently infor paint correction & modesta ceramic coating so dropped In & took the standard diffuser off. Was a bit of a messy job but once off it looks like all the connection points on the rieger model line up perfectly so once the car is done I’ll put it on & update with pics.

Diffuser fitted today & new one was easier to fit than original was to remove :rolleyes: these pictures don’t do it justice, it looks amazing. Car is still not finished so it’s still up on a lift in the pics..

Was easy to fit using all attachment points used for original diffuser.

Looks good.

It looks as if the dealer had more than one attempt at fitting the rear number plate to your car when it was new as you’ve got a bonus screw hole on the left hand side :angry:.

They are great quality and look good, mine still looks as good now as it did the day I fitted it.

Very impressed with it for the cost, and the fact that it’s  a direct Swap for the original without having to drill extra holes etc is perfect.

Looks really good N41ll
I’ve never liked the TCR diffuser so might order one of these myself at some point if the black bumper sections still fit with it, it’s not often an aftermarket part is more subtle than VW OEM!!

Ya was really on the fence about the TCR version, in some pics it looks nice & others it looks too flared for my liking, especially around the corners. IMO this one was the perfect compromise & gives the back end more presence without being ott. The black gloss finish looks amazing. I have zero experience removing car parts & while taking the original diffuser was a slow job fitting the rieger one was a breeze.
