Just had the rear diffuser off, was easy. Absolutely filled with mud and stones, serious design fault!

Just 3 torx screws and 4 metal clips. Then need to use a screwdriver (with tape wrapped round so not to damage paint) to work the diffuser from the bumper...

Anyone got a sketch or a picture of how to remove the rear diffuser? .

Does it give access to allow the exhaust bezels to be removed- I guess they are actually screwed to the diffuser?

I can be a bit eager at times and don't want to go damaging anything trying to get the diffuser off.
