Rear Diffuser Change

cliveywolves · 04-20-2021, 02:15 PM

Quite simply love it for £90 great quality and unbelievable fit

willougs · 04-20-2021, 02:47 PM

Does look pretty good. Wonder what the gloss black match will be like against a sapphire black car.
Think it looks good as a contrasting colour, but maybe would look odd if just a slightly different shade of black.

Whereabouts did you purchase from? And easy enough to fit?

cliveywolves · 04-20-2021, 03:26 PM

I do agree with you it certainly works for my colour but black cars may not look as good??

eBay and quality and actual fitment is amazing value also a UK supplier and not waiting weeks from China

Looks great, could you post a link to the actual one? How is it fitted? My car is leased so I’d need to be able to remove.

There's a thread here:

https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1720161

I'm guessing that's sapphire black. Best not look in the thread though, so much want...

Looks good although I'm not so keen on the carbon effect. Do you have a link to the seller you used?

Personal choice it works for my colour car not sure about all colours , I didn’t have just all black at first and then swapped out the diffuser section for carbon effect and looked much better for me..

Alanli722 · 04-21-2021, 02:57 PM

Looking good! I went for a gloss black one as the thing that irked me was the car has the shadowline pack yet they decided to make the stock rear "diffuser" grey.

You guys have sold me on the idea, I've just ordered one in gloss black!

Keep us posted on which you went for, and how easy it was to fit.

Agreed. Much better that the stock look but the effect is too obviously that for me an 'effect'.

Fairly decent price though.

Niicckk · 04-22-2021, 11:41 AM

Anyone have a link to where they got the black gloss one from?

thanks

This is the one I went for:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383609893189

I've not received it yet so I can't comment on the quality etc

Alanli722 · 04-22-2021, 01:04 PM

Here's mine...

IIRC it's about 4 10mm screws/bolts in the middle at the bottom and the rest are just clips. A trim tool covered in a micro fiber cloth helps. Just have to take your time to get it off. Getting the new one on is much easier. A few persuade smacks does the job.

That’s the same one I purchased last week, quality is great and fitment is easy and perfect match on car

Makefish · 04-22-2021, 05:03 PM

I could not help but notice the notch out of the rear diffuser to accomodate the towing eye in a previous photo.
I think you are missing a towing eye cover similar to this?

I'm impressed with the next day delivery, it arrived this morning. Oh and it did come with the bit of trim

RichardM · 04-24-2021, 04:46 AM

Fitted today so thought I'd post a picture on a dravit grey car. I can't fault the fit and finish although I think like all shadowline trim it will scratch very easily

danorman777 · 04-25-2021, 02:47 AM

Definitely looks better in black. I do not understand why BMW leave it a different grey colour when you spec the shadowline pack. My car is black with shadowline and that is the only bit of grey!!

drdino · 11-26-2022, 06:05 AM

Anyone had issues with fitting these diffusers? As oer my thread here, my RHS doesn't clip in properly?
