After the first failed attempt due to Covid and then a few months long as it had to go via sea.. it has arrived!!!!! I actually originally chose this style but then when it didnt come I tried for the one with the 2 fins in the middle (most common style I think) but they sent me my original choice

New motor should be here this week too so hopefully have the car back up an running in a few weeks ready for moddddddds

I hope fitment is okay. Where do all the screws/fixings go??

You'll have to take the rear bumper off and line up the tabs from the diffuser into the bumper. Then use the screws to hold the tabs in. Kind of a pain but definitely worth it.

Thanks bro! Hmm that seems like a really dodgy way to secure it haha you would think there was a better way to do it. I guess it's the cheapest way and gets the job done..

Fk, cant wait!!

What exhaust you planning? Good to do all at the same time because now I have to adjust the tips to align and suit the new diffuser. Zzz

I'm leaning towards the Megan Supremo quad tip axle-back. I'll basically get a downpipe, and then have an exhaust shop weld in either an X or H pipe to the Megan.
Only thing that bugs me is I'm going from a 4" DP to a 2.5" pipe on the Megan. I wish it was a bit bigger, but it's not like I'm boost crazy (completely stock) and have a lot of back pressure to get rid of.

same thing. had to take my bumper off to do this method with the screws. the screws in place will keep the tabs from popping out of the slot. too bad you didn't get the diffuser that had the 2 fins. oh well, this one look pretty clean tho

once you put those Megan Supremos it'll sound nice. but once you install the dp the exhaust note will definitely change in a very good way

@asian - instead of drilling and using screws to hold your diffuser to the bumper what I used to hold my aftermarket diffuser was bumper retainer clips. They are Hyundai/Kia bumper retainer clip that I found at advance auto. They just slide right over the diffuser tabs.

Here's the link to the retainer clips. I think there are 3 clips to a pack.

Interesting!! How do they work? I dont understand how that would secure on. Do you put the tabs though the bumper holes and then jam the clips teeth on the end? Kinda like a paper clip? Got any pics of your install?

Yes, push the diffuser tab through the bumper and insert the retainer clip on the the tabs. By pushing the retainer clip on the tab all the way against the bumper the retainer clip teeth will grab onto the tab and hold it in place. Sorry I don't have photos.

Found them! They are called razor blade clips. Sounds suicidal

1 seized engine and 3 months later, she's back!

3 changes happened today:
- blackvue dashcams (father's day gift)
- big knob (bigger is better apparently)
- msport steering wheel (finally!)

Next week the diffuser goes on too. Heck to the yes! Eggcite!

How you liking those paddle shifters? I have the same ones but in black aluminum and honestly starting to want to go back to stock. It's a lot more mushy when you click them down and they aren't quite as stout feeling as the stock paddles.
