Thank you for your time,

Thanks! The Maxxton front lip is mounted by screws or bolts from the bottom of the bumper. If you would only drill small holes and use plastic screws for fastening, then it would be very easy unistall. No tape or glue is needed for the fastening which makes it easy to remove. It didn't either leave any marks to the visible paint work.
In my case, 6 mm holes were drilled to the bottom of the bumper and 6mm bolts and nuts with washers were used. In this case I needed to remove the plastic trim under the engine to get access to the bottom side nuts of the front lip. So a bit more work and not fun to be done if you can't get the whole car lifted up.

What does the gfb diverter do in terms of noise? Got vids of the sounds?

Thanks! No video clip available at the moment, sorry. The GFB DV+ may give a slightly louder sound but it's not worth installing just for sound. It's still recirculating the air inside the intake system, so it's not a blow off valve that would release the pressure to ambient. The main point is that the DV+ will keep the diverter valve reliably fully closed also with higher than stock boost pressure levels. Another point is that it's closing faster than the standard diverter valve.
