Rear diffuser - stupid question

I didn't pay attention when my M Performance bits were fitted - how is the rear diffuser fitted? How is the original one fitted?

Also, what is it worth to someone?

Just trying to figure out if it's worth dicking about putting the OEM one back on if I have done a deal on a new car...

Just clips and 4 screws. An OEM rear diffuser in good shape will be worth £100+.

Cheers. I've just dug out the OEM flat one from the utility room and no screws, so it may be too much faff unless they are the same screws?!

The diffuser? I'm taking off an M perf one - unpainted - (dual pipes) and putting back on a mineral grey M sport one.

The vindaloo? Yellowish, on the way in.
