Installed eurotek CF diffuser (DIY w/pix)
I was going to have a body shop do it for me cauz i was lazy but ended up doing it myself.
For you other guys if you havnt installed it yet its an easy DIY. Get a heat gun or blow dryer to try heat up the glue on the stock diffuser so it melts a little. I used a flat head screw driver to seperate the stock diffuser from the glue which scrathed that whole bottom piece but the diffuser goes over it anyway.
After the piece comes off I sprayed some BUMPER STICKER REMOVER and came out pretty easy suprisngly.
After that I lined the CF diffuser up and screwed where I left my marks. It wasnt perfect but I had to do some minor adjustments with the drilling till it stayed right. once I drilled both holes I put in the diffuser but without the tape off to see if it lines up. Once it lined up I took the tape off and put it on.
Gettn the screws in there behind the exhaust was a lil tricky but i squeezed my hand in there and got it, it did take a few minz and thats it ! I have some more adjusting to do cauz the left side is a lil off but not too bad.
HERES SOME PIX cars not clean or anything but a lil somehting.

That bmw looks amazing!! hahah
This is a major must DO mod for w211 guys, honestly amazing what a diffusor can do to a look of a car. The stock one is so pathetic!
DIY is not that hard, need some basic tools adn just gotta take your time.

How much space do you have in between the diffuser and the mufflers? Mine are real tight. I'm afraid the heat from the mufflers will be a problem.

Dued I have no space ! I have the meisterschaft exhaust that come SL65 tips which are bigger then stock. It has not effected my diffuser at all after a few miles that I've driven with it on. So far so good.

I went the easy route, epoxy. I don't think a jack hammer could get that thing off now. It will be there with the cockroaches when the world ends

i just installed one for my friend last night, fit was perfect fit, the only problem we had is that in some places the double tape doesnot stick too well, we may have to put some additional tape

Yeah I definetly noticed that too. The tape really isn't sticking to well. For any1 who hasn't put this on it yet I would reccomend adding some more sticky support before installing.
