Yet another diffuser thread. Installed my new Euroteck diffuser.
Hey guys. I recently bought a set of h&r springs with links that I installed, but never got around to installing the diffuser. Well, I finally did it. It was a pretty easy install. About an hr to install. I want to say it fits like a glove. I am really happy how it turned out. The guy who I bought it from said it was one of the first diffusers that euroteck made for the w212 e63. Here are some pictures.
Congrats man. I really think it's the nicest diffuser for the car. Really suits the flat-edged nature of the car and just works well. Fits well too by the looks of it! I need to take pics of my Boca for comparison at some point.

some where in past post i have my install on the euroteck,
its basically starting from one side and pushing in the clips, with a good amount of pressure to get the other side in , its a very rigid spoiler as its real CF, then use 2 screws underneath to secure...

nick may have done it differently, dunno
I had to remove my bumper to install mine. It was HELL
why, the euroteck just clips in, the clips/tabs are pretty strong and actually dont want to come out once in, at least with mine
So, I first started with drilling out the two rivets, there is one at each end. As I popped the rivet out with a 90 deg pick, the diffuser pretty much came out on the edges which was super easy. Then I started to pulling the diffuser towards the middle on the bumper.(as each clip kept popping out one by one) Once I got it all unclipped, I saw two more rivets ( total of 4) holding on the diffuser. There are also 4 black clip like things that you need to pop out on each side that hold the whole diffuser pretty much to the car. After those were out it was hanging off and I was only about 10 min in. So I drilled out the last two rivets and there it was, diffuser was off. Couldn't be any easier.
So, There was a bunch of rocks and dirt stuck in between the OEM diffuser and bumper. I took maybe 10 min just cleaning the bumper off with air and a random cleaning solution I found.
Next, I wasn't sure how well this was going to go. So I got some super sticky 3m, which I believe is like trim adhesive double sided sticky stuff. Now that the bumper was clean I just applied that pretty much along where I thought the new carbon diffuser would lay. ( like in between the clip holes) I think I went a little much, but better safe than sorry. I wanted it to stick on good.
Lastly. Now lets put it on. I actually kinda tried a few different ways. Best way was start from the middle of the bumper and kinda angle the diffuser down ( so the top clips got further from the bumper) so the 4 big clips pop in first, ( now each fitment diffuser may vary HAHA!) then I just went to each side and pushed them in. ( which was kinda hard because the diffuser isn't much flexible) doesn't matter which side first. On one side I put a screw and on the other side my tab was broken, so I had to use some adhesive and put just a little quick dry silicon to make sure it held well.
And thats it! Hopefully that helps guys. Its been on for over a week now and looks there same.

Tell that to the three very competent shops I had try. Brutal installation, corners would never clip in. After months of struggling, I finally got ahold of someone from Eurotek, and they said very clearly, this diffuser can never be installed without bumper removal. So we removed it, and voila. But the corners still don't fit as nice as the one in the pic above.
what did the three competent shops do specifically when the bumper was off
did u buy a used diffuser, what may have happened was that some of the clip tabs may have broken off when the diffuser came off one bumper
i have the instructions given from euroteck which makes no mention of taking the bumper off, and i spoke with the designer of the diff who is on the forum about it...
crap....im starting to sound like davidkuo....lol
either way, it is a great diffuser, maybe ill just get mine repaired and put it back on...yes, around the corners its not perfect, but oh well
whose car is in that pic in your post...need more pics of that
I honestly think they had a batch problem. Cause I know of 2 other local cars that had the same issues.
The grey car? That's mine.
