If you ask me $350-$400 is way too much for one of these.
Lets all keep in mind they are poly no carbon.

Those skirts look pretty awesome. I even kinda like the front bumper. Honestly, the whole kit looks pretty solid.
Definitely in for fitment report and vendor/GB details. |

Painted? I think 312 shipped to my brother in Germany is a great deal for it painted assuming it fits well and the paint is a nice gloss black (hopefully almost Jet Black #668 match)

My order has been pushed back a week sadly but I have confirmation from Rieger today that it left Germany on Monday and to expect it by the beginning of next week.
I'll stick a link in here for a pictures thread in the Photo's section of this board. |

Talked to the dealer in WA they said $415 shipped to me and it'd be here in 12-15 days.
I will probably order one too unless B1aze's brother is willing to ship another to me, or unless the fitment is crap. |

As soon as Cozy gets back to us on the fitment (assuming it's positive) I will order mine by the weekend.

You only have got to drill 2 holes on each side to get the side fins fixed. but don`t be scared you won`t see the holes when a diffusor (any type) is installed.

Hi guys.
Wow, what a day. First up, well done me , I passed my exams but I have no idea how as I was day dreaming about car parts. I arrived home but daylight was dwindling so I just set about lining things up, prep work and stripping the car of its old diffuser. SO, that said I will upload a fully fitted picture or more tomorrow morning; I need to get up early and finish the car off prior to work. The good news is it looks like it'll fit without a problem but I'll confirm for definite tomorrow, that way between what Anoooooh (enough 'o' ?) and I say we can prove consistency in the fitment. The different news is that there is a fair bit of prep work to do which isn't a problem but tonight I have been doing: 1. Drill diffuser in 10 places to fit the mesh 2. Drive in 10 self taping screws and remove again 3. Apply black silicone sealant around the edge of the gap where the mesh goes to absorb rattles from the mesh. 4. Quickly place the mesh and screw in 5. Line up diffuser on car/test fit and drill bumper in correct places to allow for securing bolts. You can't see the drilled holes at all, it's totally out of the way and not on any painted surface. So, you see why I ran out of daylight by spending time making sure I did all that correctly and accurately but the good news is that tomorrow it's ready to fit on with some simple tools. I took a few pics of the unwrapped package. It was well packaged in the respect that it comes with a piece of wood to hold it rigid and to stop it flexing. The rest is just protective bags and it made it hear safely. It comes with instructions (written in German only but with pics) and some hardware such as screws and bolts. Here you can see the plastic blocks that need drilling for the mesh; there are 10 of these. Here I just wanted to show that the mesh is the correct length so you don't need to worry about any gaps. Finally, old vs new. Hold tight until tomorrow for pics if you can. I am between 5-8hrs ahead of you U.S. guys depending if you are East or West Coast (8hr Cali - 5hr NY) so I'll upload them in your early hours of the morning. |

@cozy Did you get the "Glossy Black" version? That looks pretty matte... I would have liked to see an almost Jet Black painted look. Appears to be close to the same color as the OEM diffuser... Not exactly what i was hoping for :/

I ordered the matte version as I have a black car. I didnt want to just have the diffuser body colour so it blended but on the plus side its a great surface to prep for paint if I wished. I also chose mesh as I didn't like the block black look.
It looks like Anoooh's diffuser is carbon-look going by the greyish colour. Here are my pics, awful pics in a grey, awful hazy day that doesn't lend itself to a camera but hey, you get the idea. Fit is very good, so snug and no gap. If you want glossy black then order that . I'm probably going to plasti dip this and glossify it in gunmetal. |
