Is the std plastic cover easy to remove?

If so I feel a carbon mould coming on with a proper diffuser where the venting should be.

It actually goes on the original diffuser.. The edmunds car i believe had Audi Exclusive upgrades. Not aftermarket stuff.

Going by the pics i thought it would fit, just it would block the grilles, but i might be wrong!

The guy reckons it will fit in the questions part. I think the grill version looks better though. See he/she placed it in the weeds to take the pics he he...

I am not convinced this is good carbon. For one you should not have to lacquer over the top and indeed quite some work is required to lacquer over a finished and cured piece of carbon. Secondly, look closely at the carbon weave on the corners. They do not match at all....

Bonding carbon pieces together is easy but the mould for that should be easy to make so why would you not use the less time consuming method of using a single piece of Carbon..?

Something ain't right.

@Tartan Rob, any chance you will be making a rear diffuser from real carbon or even a part the looks similar to the OEM rear insert??

I'm very interested in the Carbon Fiber rear diffuser!! Does it go over the OEM one? Mine looks like it's one piece with the bumper.....
