Default Mina rear difuser and exhaust before and after.

Hope these pics load. Sounds great and I think it looks so much better. Most people don't recognize this upgrade until they here it.

Looks good. I would be tempted to paint part of the diffuser black.

Thank you. I actually started all white so I can go with black on the center part possibly in the future. The job gave my body shop fits.

I know what you mean!
I fitted one of these Mina rear diffusers by myself a few weeks ago, and what I thought would be a two hour job ended up taking me seven hours.
Even then I had an unsightly gap on each corner and a smaller gap (around 2mm) the whole length, which I filled with black silicon windscreen sealant and then painted over by hand, using my little bottle of ChipEx repair paint. Didn't come out too bad but I'm not 100% happy with it, so I'm getting a professional mobile paint repair specialist to fix it up in three weeks' time, and at the same time he will paint the centre section in gloss black.

Looks great, agree with the painting black "diffuser part".

I bought the Carbon Fiber diffuser from Mina. Very tough to do, even says in the instructions to use 2 people to help to fit it.

When I got finished I had two small chips of paint pop off. There still is a small gap on each side, even when using the "self-tapping" screws. Just seemed like the whole diffuser was a bit small.

Overall it was a good deal. Chris @ Mina is a real cool headed and honest guy.

Interesting. Mine was almost a perfect fit and on in an hour. Hardest part was getting the old one off.
