GTC diffuser replace or paint

Hi folks,

we just got our 2020 facelift GTC and looking to make some small modifications. One is to either have the diffuser painted gloss black (as all other parts are gloss black, paint is irridium silver magno) or replace it with an aftermarket carbon diffuser. I only seem to be able to find GT/GTS diffusers. Do any of you know if the size/fitting is the same for it as it has the wider GTR style bumper…

also couldn’t seem to find posts from folks who have painted the no so great looking plastic diffuser…

thanks.

yes, but I’m in Europe so that gets complicated and expensive with shipping, vat, import taxes…

but theirs seems to fit GT, GTS and GTC… so makes me think its the same size…?

Are you sure? as I’ve seen some oem’s advertised at a significantly higher price this side of the pond…

but have found a nice one in the meantime that is fairly priced but specced for a GT/GTS…. Still wondering if that will dit the GTC…

that’s indeed a good price. I’ll have a look if I can find the SKU in Europe.

Hi,

This is only the middle part.

You need 3 parts.

(Part 6 left and right)


To RW Carbone:

GT and GTS is only the middle part the same.

Is clearly under Fitment:

2015-2019 GT, GTS (narrow side pieces)
2018-2019 GTC (larger side pieces)



Best regards

Stenzel

the sides of the non-carbon will fit; no need to get those too.

Neither of those will work.

The 2020 is a facelift MY and the rear diffuser is different because the tail pipes are updated to dual for the GTC.

I did this on my previous 2018 - https://mbworld.org/forums/coupe-roa...ml#post8199751

so if I understand correctly, you just get the middle part and leave the side pieces the same as they are and everything should fit.

correct. There are some centerpieces as well. If I recall correctly, its just a small molding piece under the reverse light.
