Let me know if you decide on painting any of the additional aero pieces since we have the same color [ebii]. I may have missed it but, are you getting grilles too?

I got the OEM black grill. spoiler is the only painted part I have. I'm leaving the diffuser and front lip black.

Thanks hollandog. I'm considering these mods since they are simple bolt-ons for my lease

Same here. Easy cheap mods, exactly what I need for a lease.

Diffuser installed.

Ebay Advan M diffuser. I'd say fitment is 90% close up. 98% 2 steps back.
Overall I think it's acceptable.

phattbam · 03-05-2016, 10:06 AM

looks hollandog, did you need to remove the bumper for that? any particular DIY guides you used to get that done?

It was very straight forward. You will see once you have the diffuser in your hand.
Just unbolt the 7 sockets underneath and gently pull the OEM diffuser out. There are some taps holding it together. I used a 10mm socket and 8mm / 5/16" socket.
Putting the ebay diffuser in just reverse what you did. The fitment is not perfect but you should be able to fit it in and bolt everything back together.

Took me 10 minutes I think.

did you need the car up on a lift or ramps? That's the issue I have. I don't have ramps nor a lift. I'd be doing this on a flat parking surface.

I put my car on ramp for easier access. If you don't mind to lay your back on the floor you should be fine.
It was cold and I don't want to make my shirt dirty.

dman918 · 03-05-2016, 01:37 PM

Just did mine. No ramp necessary.

Thanks!!! I'm inching closer to just ordering the parts now. Just undecided on trunk spoiler.

dman918 · 03-05-2016, 09:35 PM

I went with a CF spoiler from emotors2000.

rezadue · 03-25-2016, 06:44 PM

I was in SoCal last week so I drove to their warehouse and picked one up in person. Went to install it today and I am sad to report it does not fit...

It seems a bit short and the holes don't all line up. Whereas the OEM fit in a hearbeat, I fiddled around for 45 minutes in 30 degree weather and couldn't get it to go.
I am going to try again tomorrow but am not hopeful.

Purchased from europeanautoparts

For what model?

WWM3 · 03-31-2016, 08:24 AM

I installed the europeanautoparts diffuser last night on my F32. Could not get a screw in on the passenger side and it took some adjustment. Looks good though.

bump

picked this up locally in SoCal from one of those ebay vendors...install took maybe 15 minutes.

TheBweast · 06-01-2016, 08:15 AM

Mind stating which vendor you purchased from? Fitment looks amazing!

How was the fitment. Debating Advan or Europartautostore.
