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.

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?

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 =\
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!
 
Apparently the law here in Canada was revised in 2008, right after my car was manufactured, and I'm not required to keep them on! Would have to pay to get them filled and painted though :(
 
@ happychappy - Have you thought about pulling your Diffuser and just changing the color? You can buy pre-cut lengths of various colors of car foil for not that much money. I think I paid about 10-Euro for a 300cm x 30cm roll of matte black from Amazon and made door sill protectors on my wife's Tiguan. No special tools are required; just a good hot hairdryer, an old credit card and an Exacto knife and you're good to go. There's plenty of DIYs on YouTube.

Good idea, but it's the blandness that I don't like, others have mesh type inserts etc which appeal to me.

If I did change colour it would probably be to a carbon type finish.

It's illegal to remove the ugly flowerhorn head (small square) on the front bumper? :eek: :eek:

Apparently it was up until 2008, and I've never realized it, or care honestly haha. It would need to be filled and painted if I removed.
They were supposedly for low speed impacts, required on all vehicles in Canada up to 2008, then the gov't standardized bumper laws to match Europe
 
Just got done applying the carbon wrap on my diffuser, it was $16 CDN on Amazon for a 1' x 5' roll.
Was my first time wrapping something, not the greatest job, but my bumper was pretty faded and scuffed up before! Big improvement for almost no cost

You've made a really good job of that, tempted to have a go at mine.

@ derikc Any challenges getting the diffuser off the bumper?
None at all, 2 torx screws and just plastic tabs holding it on

The only thing I almost screwed up was the bumper is literally the same length as the 5' roll of wrap, i was about 3mm short and had to stretch it a bit, but that's what it's made to do with some heat so no problem!
