I don't think the facelift diffusers fit the prefacelift bumper, but the facelift bumper is a nice upgrade anyway as it has a bit more shape to it and is a bit deeper too

 

Thanks MT, that's what I am thinking.

Don't really want to change the whole bumper as it will mean changing the front one too, I am a tiny bit OCD.. :lol:

I am still wondering if the diffuser in picture number 1 above will fit a pre-face lift bumper as in picture number 2 above?

There seems to be so many listed on the Zap.com parts site, it all gets a bit confusing!

Part number 8JO 807421 followed by a letter such as D,M,A etc, I assume that they are different types of diffuser?

 

Bland? How could you?
Joking aside, life would be very boring if we all liked the same thing but I love my bog-standard rear diffuser.

 

when i had my red one, i had the diffuser painted gloss black, looked much better than original

I have this one but can you get the bottom picture one with dual cutouts?

My stock rear diffuser is made of Carbon Fiber

 

Hi!

I think it's easier than it may seem at first. There's only two rear bumpers across all the model range:

• standard non s-line: can be recognized by the round car hook cover. This is what you have and only accepts the standard diffuser (the one you already have), the audi sports one (the one with the non-functional fins), and third party diffusers as well (that are known to have fitting issues). This one is flat with no inserts. [/*]
• s-line/tts/ttrs: can be recognized by the square car hook cover. This is the one with the insert, and accepts all the diffusers that the standard bumper can't take. There is quite a lot of variety here, depending on year, finish (abs, carbon fiber), and model (s-line/tts/ttrs), but the thing is you have to get this bumper first if you want any of the diffusers you listed (*ttrs diffuser involves some more parts for the exhausts, but can be done)[/*]

Both rear bumpers can be installed on any mk2 TT.

I'm looking for an s-line rear bumper but they are scarce! Hope I find one someday as I really like it over the standard one.

Regards!

P.S.: I don't know if this was in all countries but in mine the standard bumpers disappeared from the line at some point (2011? 2012?) and s-line replaced the standard ones, and tts bumpers where fitted to s-line cars with different front grills and rear diffuser. So it's better to distinguish them by the car hook cover than the trim/model.

Nice car, you must look after it well.
But your house is falling down.

 

Rear diffuser with "M" on the part # is carbon fiber

Hi Peddraca!

Thanks so much, the round/square thing makes it easier to identify when looking at pictures, a really good piece of advice (as always)

I think I will just put up with what I have, although a little part of me is saying wrap it in carbon fibre.... :lol:

 

Thanks for all the advice people of the TT forum.

Looks like sadly it's a non starter, unless I want to "prettify" the diffuser that's already there...hmmm.....

 

Just a thought - have you tried the TT Shop? Their website is a bit hit and miss but you could give them a call if they're open?

 

Good idea!

Will give them a call, their website has to be the worst ever! :lol:

Haha..the term user friendly doesn't come to mind..shame as they have a few things to browse on there..quite a few body styling items!

 

I don't think I have ever looked on there and it worked correctly!

Not really interested in aftermarket stuff due to hearing comments about poor quality/fitment, just hoping they know what OEM parts fit, if any.

 

Audi do/did a sport diffuser for prefacelift models but for the life of me have been unable to get the oem images only copies on fleabay.

Thanks Nidana

What you have said makes complete sense and makes me hopeful, just need to get a pic and perhaps locate one now.

 

There is the official accessories catalog pic in the online shop you hate

http://thettshop.co.uk/exterior.asp?cat=5003&product=202051 (see attached pic)

And this is from a car of a guy in the spanish forums (celeristt) who bought it from Audi:

(original post from owner can be seen here)

It goes for something like 200 quid + paint ...

 

Thanks for the link Pedracca, it worked! :lol:

Unfortunately that's not quite as subtle as I imagined it would be, don't really like it...

If I had a TTS or RS it would look spot on, however on a 2.0tfsi I feel it would be a little sheep in wolfs clothing.

Thanks again for the link.

 

Sorry to hijack your post, but it may interest you as well for what you're looking for

Does anyone have any experience with this rear diffuser?
https://www.magnatuning.com/en/product/ ... -Extension

It says it fits in pre-facelift bumpers on the base model

Also, at what point did the TT's start to have the brake light in the diffuser? My 2008 pre-facelift just has the single exhaust port, plain black plastic diffuser with no brake light in it. If I were to buy a different diffuser with the slot for it, does it just wire off the same wire as the normal center brake light? Another thing to buy =\

 

What about this one? Came on my 08 S-line 3.2

Was grey (like the front lip/ in your OP) but got it sprayed gloss black to match.

Thanks, it looks quite good.

Are you referring to the central fog light in the rear diffuser just below the lip of the bumper?

Oh, then yes I suppose that's what I'm referring to, I thought maybe it was a brake light. My 08 base model doesn't have it, so if I upgraded to a different diffuser, it looks like most all of them come with that notch, and I'd have to purchase a light and attempt some wiring

I like the look of that.. I may have to spray mine gloss in the meantime! I have spray equipment at work, might have to try it out

 

I'm guessing you are in the US where rear fog lights aren't mandatory? Are you sure your current diffuser doesn't just have a black plastic cover instead of the fog light as I don't believe there is a specific diffuser without that slot?

 

I am in Canada, I didn't realize they were required in Europe! It's a completely smooth diffuser, with the single cutout for dual exhaust on the left side.
The front of our vehicles here also require those small square things on the bumper as you can see in the picture, no idea why!

 

Oh yeah, not seen a diffuser like that. Anyway, I'm pretty sure there are blanking covers to fit the other diffusers so you could fit one of those, I'll have a look for the part number tomorrow

And those lumps on the bumper need removing ASAP!
