carbon fiber diffuser installation

Trying to install a rear diffuser on my f30 and having a lot of trouble getting the tabs to snap into place. I feel if I put any more force I Might break something. Anyone have any pointers for installation?

The diffuser should not need that much force to pop the tabs in. Was the rear bumper removed first?

CF diffusers are far more rigid than the polypropylene versions, so the bumper needs to be applied to the diffuser instead of the other way around.

Is it the same process for the CF front lip F30 M sport? I asked because I just recently purchased one from you guys @ RW Carbon.

I dont think they can respond on here anymore, they were banned a while back. For the front lip no need to remove the bumper.

For Carbon fiber rear diffuser, you'll need to take the bumper off. The diffuser needs a lot of bending(not enough to break) and maybe some modification to the diffuser itself to make it fit.
