Thanks so much for sharing. I live the way you show it, with some struggle and pain, not like most of other youtuber who made it looks too easier by skipping those painful parts. Thanks again, I will use yours as a guide to instal mine now.
Thanks for vlogging this. I’d heard removing the original was a pain and you had to be quite firm and ignore the worrying noises. You shown that’s true but not something to stop you doing at home. Look forward to seeing the boot spoiler installation in your next video. Cheers, Kevin.
Yes, as you can see in the video the removal of an original diffuser was a bit of pain but I don’t think you can damage anything. No scratches from the pry tools.
How do you maintain your exhaust tips? Also have the M Performance exhaust but mine are very dull and the inside are almost black from the exhaust smoke
@@MDrivesbest way is to do some prep work on them when they are new. Make sure that the carbon fibre is properly sealed. At the rear they are just cut and unsealed. I painted some clear epoxy on those raw areas. Check the front part for any chips etc also. Then I keyed up the carbon fibre parts with a scotch pad and sprayed the whole thing with a few coats of VHT paint. Cured at 100C for an hour. Finally polished and ceramic coated. Now they will last a long time and clean off very easily.
Assume those plastic tools don’t scratch the paint work despite the amount of dirt trapped by the old diffuser? Want to do mine but petrified of scratching it getting it off
Wash it with a pressure washer first to remove a dirt. The tools are made of plastic and you only push them in between the bumper and diffuser so even if some micro scratches are created in the process they will never be visible once the diffuser is in place.
Please don't listen to this guy, before you even put any type of pry tool in there Make sure you put two or three pieces of frog tape or painters tape along that whole edge to protect the bumper skirt above it. And he also did not use the other diffuser pieces because he has no idea what he's doing. You must use them because they secure the diffuser in tighter, you never leave those out.
When you remove your OEM spoiler. Lots of people will say using fishing wire or dental floss but it’s a battle as they snap too much. Get yourself some ribbon (arts and craft) is so so much stronger and much easier to work with and won’t damage your car.
From my point of view those clips are unbelievable. I tried to remove my diffuser b4 watching this video w/o any special tools and I guess it's not possible for the clips in the middle. My advice: Get urself those plastic tools b4 u start... and even with this tools in the video it looks like the one who designed this was out of his mind.
Yesterday I got myself similar tools in Germany from Baumarkt "matador 0843" for EUR 14.95, so 2day I was able to change the diffuser on my M2C successfully 😊 It really looks much better this way. Thanks for the demonstration in ur video, so I had an idea, what I was missing. Enjoy ur day. Best wishes.

Not a problem. I’m glad you found it helpful.
I’ll be doing mine this weekend as my M performance diffuser was delivered today thanks for video
Not a problem and good luck 🤞
@@MDrives I’m a little worried to be fair as never done anything like it before
@@robrocks34 just take your time.

All the clips!! Overengineered to the max. Looks good!

These weren’t genuine and I threw them away at one point as they were really bad.

What diffuser was it you bought? There are quite a few online ranging from £300 to £1000+ yours looks great
It was a second-hand one but it's a cheap Chinese one.
Perfekt Video -. Thank you so much 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful. Regards
I’ve got a genuine m performance carbon lip spoiler if you are interested. Not asking the world for it either.
Thank you but I already installed CS style spoiler.

@@thatfoglightguy4794 all done already. I used fishing line and then caramel wheel to remove the tape.

Haha, I agree. The tools really helped!
