michelin Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Is the diffuser sold with two parts or three? I've read somewhere that the plastic around the exhaust is separate and also needs to be purchased? I have PSE. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roch1969 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes correct - you don’t get the surround as part of the diffuser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks for the reply Roch. Would the existing surround not fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roch1969 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes the existing surround does fit. I only purchased the two diffusers and used the original surround. I had my diffs painted gloss black and wish I would have done the surround as well but it still looks good as is. I also changed my front bumper set up to the GTS as I think it looks so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I can confirm. The clip arrangement is a right royal PITA around the exhaust. I did post some pics but they were lost when the photo sharing app stopped allowing free stuff I think I might still have them some where. Another tip especially at this time of year is to keep all the plastic warm. It helps prevent snapping clips and gives you a little more margin to flex stuff without damage. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelin Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks guys. Would it help if the clips were treated with some wd40 before hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Might help things move but not necessary. Main thing is keep things warm and if your getting frustrated on the first side go and have coffee and cool off and then go back and have another try. It is a straight forward job once you figure out the clips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roch1969 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I’ll take some tomorrow as it’s dark outside now. I’m afraid I’ve no idea how to do the front end as I gave it to a body shop. I bought a bare used bumper and then bought all the trims, DRL’s, DRL frames etc from the OPC. Be aware though that all of those extra pieces cost me around £800 (the bumper was cheap at £325). With colour coding/fitting it cost around £2k but I should get back around £400 on my old bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, I dug out the spreadsheet and £1,822 was the total overall cost so net will be around £1,400 once I’ve sold my full bumper inc DRL’s etc. Bit manic today so will get some pics over the holidays and post up soon.

michelin Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Thread re-vival 😝 Finally going to order the 2 diffusers and give this a go. Would you say bumper off is the easier method? 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
