Just had a new diffuser arrive at the dealer.
They now come unpainted, but appear to be already lacquered:

Apart form not being painted from factory, it looks a bit different to the original. :smt017
BTW, how much is this part these days ?

I don't know, the dealer is replacing it after damaging the original one when doing the subframe repair.
Once its painted & fitted, i'll compare the two side by side.

:thumbs: I'll look forward to that.
Whatever you do with your damaged original one, do not throw it away as it can be repaired and kept as a spare.

I got one last month, and it came painted :smt102. BTW, it looks more "carbon" in reality, think it's just the crappy iPhone pic

Sorry, the pic was emailed by the dealer to say the part had arrived & it was off to be painted.
I haven't actually seen it in the flesh yet.

Portland are you in Trafalgar Court by Waitrose Admiral Park, Guernsey? An M3 CSL complete with bike rack on the back could often be found there but I've not seen it in a while now.

No, that's the other one.

Mines normally parked at opposite north beach next to the marina.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it, funnily enough I've only ever seen the one in my office car park by Waitrose.

When I first saw it with a bike rack on the back I thought that can't be good for the CFRP boot. Not to mention the fact that it was always dirty and seemed like it hadn't had a polish in years. But it goes to show not every CSL owner wraps them up in cotton wool. As I say, it's not been there for a while so perhaps he has sold it.
