New Diffuser

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

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.

Apart form not being painted from factory, it looks a bit different to the original.

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.

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.
