Did you remove the bumper to remove the diffuser or did you undo the fixings underneath and pull it off while still on the car?

Normally, you shouldn't have to remove the bumber but for the OEM performance diffusor to be properly fitted bumper has to come off. some of the clips do not want to be pushed in place, so they needed to be pushed and pulled from the inside, where as the OEM M135i diffuser you just push in place and put the screws back on.

The shark fin is a complete replacement. It was a PITA to remove the standard one. When putting on the new shark fin you have to use plenty of glue to make sure it's completely waterproof.

Thanks for the replies
I#m fitting a 135i diffuser so should be able to do the swap without removing the bumper (some guides say it has to come off which is why i was asking).
I've seen a black cover for the shark fin which fits over the top - wasn't sure if you had this - didn't fancy having to remove the 1 already on

Yes, a close friend of mine has a Yaris GR aswell. Nice little rocket. What bugs me is the lousy interior.

GRY AWD system is amazing… Way better than the electronically repartition done by the M135i. The car is miles better if you want to have some fun under the snow.

Well, it's not all that different. It has an additional clutch in front of the rear differential that controls the torque vectoring from front to rear. Rear gear ratio is 0.7% faster than on the front, so it's possible to give more torque to the back.

Hi
What body kit is attached to your BMW F40? Is it genuine BMW?

I'm interested in the front bomper and side skirts.

Some nice new interior mods. Changed the performance shift paddles and the steering wheel cover to M3/M4 Competition parts. The performance counterparts were all matte, these are glossy and the paddles are way taller and grippier on the backside. I also added the M1 & M2 buttons with the correct steering column panel with the cut out's for the buttons. Everything fitted is OEM, just for the G80/G82

I presume those buttons do nothing in your car?
