Well it just so happens we did it last night. :D The diffuser is clipped in all the way round. Now I'm not too sure if you could just pull the diffuser off as the clips would have some hold and you also couldn't guarantee that the clip parts wouldn't break as they are being forced back out the wrong way.

We removed the entire rear bumper and eased the clips out from behind with a screwdriver. Also the lower rear skirts are attached to the rear diffuser with, I think, 1 rivet each side. You'll be able to see the rivets by looking under the car.

I'm sure others on here have removed their diffusers for spraying them black, perhaps they'll be able to give you more advice on whether it can come off easily with some brute force.

By the way your exhaust looks ace and will look the doggies with the same on the other side. B)

This is the look I'm after once I've fitted my Stoffler rear diffuser.

What type and size of tailpipe is that you have on?
