Swapping GT C diffusor to GT R diffusor

Want to change die diffusor of my GT C to the one of the GT R, s.b. knows if I just have to change the diffusor or also the bumper? For sure I would need a new exhaust with additional middle exit.

GTC bumper *should* work, but there are 6 versions of it from a parts number perspective. It has variables for paint, rear camera, and PDC. The GTC has a single part number.
  • GTC part number: A190-885-44-00
  • GTR part number: A190-885-72-00 (unpainted w/ PDC option.
  • GTR part variations: *71-00, *74-00, *84-00, *97-00 etc
Keep in mind, the GTR relocates the reverse light to the rear spoiler and this is not the same size or fitment as the rear brake (like the aftermarket spoilers formfactors). Along with as you mention, needing a different muffler. This isn't an easy swap - lots to consider and expensive even with sourcing used parts.

as I'm also changing the spoiler to the GT R one, the light would not be the problem. Would be interessting what parts would be needed except the exhaust.

There are links about the subject and they contain parts diagrams and part numbers - just do a search. To relocate the reverse light into the spoiler base, your only option will be OEM parts. For the amount it's going to set you back to change the exhaust, GTR diffusers, tips, and GTR spoiler parts, it will be cheaper for you to go and purchase a GTR.

Hey Skilly. I'm picking up a GTC roadster on Monday and I'm interested in what was involved with adding the wing. I looked for a thread for this but didn't see one. Any help?

Curious about adding the wing, and also wondering about how it would affect the car at high speed.

Thanks

Not to change the subject but has anyone had experience with an aftermarket bolt on wing that would not require wiring? A simple replacement for the pop up wing on a GTC? I've looked around and have not seen anything with detailed information about installation.

I would be interested in a carbon fiber, unpainted wing.

Thanks.

Yes there is a Germany Company selling a wing where you don't have to weier it and the other wing also works beneath it but I don't like it.

I see what you mean. It looks a little cheap.

This one looks interesting but there is almost no information about it on the website except the pics and price.

Paul, do you know if a GTC coupe and roadster would use the same wing?

They do not. The wing and the base are not interchangeable. There is no wing available for the Roadster except the factory GTR wing.

I know the baseplate is different of shape, also the part number of the spoiler itself is different but I can't believe that they would produce two different spoilers.

They do indeed. The Roadster has the brake light built into it. Additionally, the spacing for the mounting points for each spoiler set up is different. They are not compatible at all.

As we wait, I also found an OEM source for the carbon diffuser for $2,046.00 - this an MB sourced part.

does your design clip in like the OEM or is this a double sided tape add on? With the air fins, it looks like the centerpiece lays over the middle section.

The Lip is being designed to be installed the same as our GTS Lip. Secured using only self-tapping screws threw the underside of the bumper.
