Looks good!

I still need to get my diffuser fitted one of these days. It's just been sitting in my storage shed for awhile now.

on your car it might fit alot better maybe being a E63. I usually see e55’s and the side corners never sit flush so it took a while to get that to finally sit as flush as possible. I had to use 6 screws so picking where i screw was also important because i didnt want screws to show. Using the pre holes that they did was my biggest mistake since it wasnt catching the bumper. Put yours on just have patience it doesnt go on as easy as some may think . When i go do my rear muffler delete i will adjust the tips to look better and yes i will clean those tips, lol.

Take the rear bumper off and it’s easier to mount. Takes little bit longer I assume but won’t throw a fit messing with it. I did mine myself but with a friend would have been even easier.

If i can do it all over again i would’ve for sure not relied on the pre drilled holes that came on the back side of the diffuser because i made my holes to use screws based off those. If i was an inch higher and made new holes i would’ve been done in no time. Lesson learned. Overall im happy with it i need to get the top center to sit more flush with the bumper. Because i decided to screw in the sides it pulled away from the center. So it was give and take. I need a small angle drill with long extension to screw into diffuser from the back side so it can pull it closer to the bumper. After 3 hours i was done deal, lol.

I bought one of the Eurotek ones (which was ****ing expensive) and had to wait months for it to be made. It seemed like it didn't fit but I contacted VRP who said what I was experiencing was normal and gave me some tips. Of course how he recommended to do it wasn't the same as how we were trying it. We haven't had a chance to mess with it since then so it still sits. Hopefully in the next few weeks the E63 is going to be getting a few things done to it (that, oil/air separator, head bolts).
