Diffuser removal???

[Deamox1fy]

Hi mates

Anyone able to help on this? I'd like some advise regarding the rear diffuser removal on Ibiza Cupra 1.8T '07

Does one have to pull off the bumper or not? I also need to get the reflectors out of the bumper. The bumper probably needs to come off for that although I unscrewed the right rear fender lining and managed to get a grip on the reflectors so they can come out without removal if done carefully.

Anyone done this yet?

Some help and advise would greatly be appreciated - Thanks in advance...

I assume you men the grey part in the centre of the bumper. If so, its an integral part of the bumper and doesn;t come off

The rear diffuser is actually plastic welded to the rear bumper. To remove it you need to melt the welds and pull the two appart. You can easily do this with a soldering iron. To fit it back just locate the original weld points and re-weld them using extra plastic.

So I gotta pull off the bumper to remove the diffuser? And what about the reflectors?

Yes you need to remove the bumper. The reflectors are clipped into a frame which is part of the diffuser. When you remove the bumper it'll all become clear

Yup plastic welded into bumper: use a flat screw driver (heated with a gas gun) and it's easy peasy...
