Question rear diffuser swap from 3.0 > 5.0 style

Hi everyone

looking at just changing over the diffuser on my v6 coupe to the 5.0 version then getting the 4tipped exhaust to fit it… does anyone know if they diffuser would clip in the same as my current?… i cant see the bumper itself being a whole new one just with different clipping point?

cheers

Yes, conversion is possible. I know @Unhingd have done this mod on his car. You will also need to replace parts of exhaust to make it work.

Upper bumper is the same. A link to my R to SVR diffuser may help?

Good luck...

I did this a few years ago on my first F-TYPE. The rear valance from the V8 will bolt right up to the bumper but is ridiculously expensive. I partnered with a local company to make a fiberglass valance and quad exhaust. We never pursued it after the prototype due to the lack of interest.
