Cdi blueefficiency rear bumper conversion
Hi all.
Has anyone ever done or know who could do a rear bumper conversion on a 350 cdi blueefficiency 2012 ?
would like to expose the exhaust and instal a diffuser.
not sure how easy/expensive this would be
anyone have any ideas or experience?
Based in the London Heathrow area so any help or knowledge would be much appreciated 👍
Cheers

The process is not that hard but involves $$$$ and custom parts. Replacing the bumper would be the easy part - most of the custom ones are made to fit the vehicle without issues. All depends on the look that you're going for.
The 2nd part, and might be more expensive, would be modifying the exhaust. You might have 2 routes as well - reroute / weld new tips to fit the new bumper, and the 2nd option - completely new exhaust pipes. Basically everything is custom. For that you need to find a shop that would do that for you. In US, where I am, usually the entire job would be easy $5,000. Can't speak for GB.
If you want to modify your current bumper - the exhaust job stays the same. To look good you might want a shop to modify your bumper too, which shouldn't be that expensive.
Regards.
