Rear diffuser removal
Hey everyone,
I am trying to remove the rear diffuser from my 2015 C300 to paint or wrap it, but I am having trouble determining the kind of screw that is used to hold it in place. There is a wing nut on the other side of the screw. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached pictures of the screw.

Thanks.
I plan to do the same thing to my rear diffuser. Toyed around with Satin or gloss. I was trying to find out what NSP had, but hard in some pics. I know the front is glossy black.
How long did it take for them to remove, and what was total cost to remove and paint, etc.
Thank you!

I covered it off under a repair after someone bumped into the back...
So for me it was free....
Personally I'd put 3m 1080 gloss wrap on it after removing... Each exhaust trim needs to come off (4 fasteners)
Then drill out the rivers remove wrap and refit.... That'd be less than 100...
Paint would be 300 min I imagine...

Thanks chrisdean and Shadwell for the info regarding rivets. I will give it a shot!
The gloss black looks great. I plan on going with a glossy look as well to match the pano roof and the trunk lip.
