Carbon Rear Diffuser
After being shamed at our recent NW meet by my boring rear end, I decided to order a carbon diffuser from eBay. Ordered on the Monday and delivered Friday from Taiwan (via Germany).
Fitted it yesterday, nice and easy

Yes. The tags at the back in the photo are in a different place to the original but they align perfectly with bolt holes. Nice even gaps all round so happy with it.
Orderd the spoiler now too

Thanks for the recommendation!
Ordered one from an Ebayer in the UK a few weeks ago and the fit was shocking!! Sent it back and have been looking out for a reasonably priced one. |

Hi, also interested in whether these hold up ... the price compared to the M Performance one almost looks too good to be true ... and we all know where that can lead!!

What do others do with insurance? I didn't declare my black kidney grill as it seems ridiculous to claim it affects risk but my spoiler and a diffuser??? Will phone mine up next week and see whether they will charge.

I'll take a couple of pics after a wash at the weekend for you but in short, there have been no problems at all. The diffuser is still attached, the carbon is intact and the lacquer still shines when clean.

Ordered and now fitted the same Carbon Diffuser from eBay - again amazingly fast delivery if genuinely from Taiwan ... Ordered Tuesday and delivered Thursday!! Maybe they had some in the UK??
Anyway the fit is excellent - everything lines up perfectly and a doddle to securely attach. The quality and weave looks very good - not quite as perfectly even pattern as my OEM M Performance spoiler but then that is quite flat so maybe something to do with the bends and the light - not sure - not seen an M Performance one up close. Will try and post a picture .. if I can figure it out. R. |

Bit of a bargain I'd say - looks like a pretty exact copy of the MP part and construction felt no worse/different from the MP spoiler I got. R. |

I tried a copy spoiler initially (not from same supplier) but it just wasn't right and sold on for a proper MP one. Not worth skimping on something as visible as the spoiler.
