Difusser Pics-Stock to C63 upgrade

Hello all,

Sharing the latest change to my car, I've been wanting to make this change since I saw the C63 rear exhaust tip setup. Big shot out to my good friend Chris, who basically did all the work!!

Thank you again my Friend!!

Really like the new look, makes the care look more aggressive!!

Did you have any issues getting the tips to align and look properly? I had a super hard time trying to put the diffuser back onto the bumper... I had to kick it on... tips?

When the tips were installed they were in the correct spot. Once the diffuser was on we had to adjust the logo and tried to center the tips before tightening.

Chris actually reach behind the bumper and pushed out as I pushed the diffuser in. That was the only way the bumper didn’t flex.

I actually pieced everything together. The diffuser is from a friends C63s after he upgraded his diffuser, bought OEM brackets. Everything came together fine because they weren’t aftermarket pieces. This was the second time Chris did this install so that made it easier. It’s not difficult but it does take time to figure out how to takes things apart without breaking anything.

Is your diffuser oem or knockoff? The knockoffs are pos, and fitment is at best 5 out of 10. As Alex stated, the diffuser has to be properly seater to the bumper skin. Try putting your hand behind the skin and have a friend push towards the car and you towards away from the bumper.
