I'm fitting the genuine cup edition diffuser to my wagon and get rid of that massive rear reflector 

 

The Maxton design version?

Probably he is talking about the one that SuperSkoda is selling, but I kinda think the Rieger looks better 

[BATVANVRS]

Probably yeah, I did see the Superskoda one yesterday but just looked too race track style to me! depends on what look you want to go for I suppose & what tickles your fancy 

[Jaco2k]

As promised, this is how dirty my glossy black is now

[BATVANVRS]

 Spit n polish be good as new 

[dhvrs]

Does anyone know what the difference is between the TSI & TDI version ?

 

I can't see why you need to fit the extra pipe on the tdi exhaust as the exhaust trims more the cover the exits.

Cheers @BATVANVRS, will look into the boot protectors. Glad Online Autosport helped you out, look forward to seeing the pics. My 'Moon white' car is now also 'Dirty AF' (like @Jaco2k's), so will get it cleaned up and put a few pics up - especially once I've got the new mudguards fitted. Should create a project thread soon, as the Eibach pro-kit, spacers, and Stage 1 are going on this half of the year...

 

@Ant-Vrs - been following your project thread; looks epic, mate (few pics on the VRS Faceballs groups as well). Quick Q - when you remove the rear deflector, have you replaced the gap with anything?

 

@dhvrs - The TDI version requires that extra pipe, which is a secondary exhaust gas vent. This connects it to the (fake) exhaust outlet on the left hand side. I believe the main purpose of it is to direct the hot exhaust gases away from the underside of the diffuser, which could potentially warp the plastic. Up to the buyer if they choose it, but I'd say it's a fairly essential piece of kit if you don't want to spoil a £150+ bodykit piece

@Ads230 when you got the oem diffuser and the reflector off the cup edition diffuser fits upto the bumper so there isn't a gap. 

[Ads230]

Ah. The Rieger one doesn't do that..., it fits just below. I'll take a look at other options for removing the reflector then, cheers.

I hope you guys aren wasting your money on lease cars?

Order placed on Wednesday & received this morning from Ian @ On-Line Auto Sport shop - eBay opened package & all seems perfect so hopefully the weather will be nice over the weekend ready to fit, will take some pictures, before Rieger diffuser & after Rieger diffuser installed, also purchased on last Thursday a square rear number plate which I've fitted already & looks much better

Take plenty of pictures, really considering one for my Blue VRS

Just pull the trigger already - it is totally worth it and to be honest, pics really don't do it justice - I got sold when i first saw it live.

Milotec rear diffuser. Quick, easy, cheap. 

[Ant-Vrs]

This is mine yesterday afternoon . I hope it's worked today

Please make more pics later- it was hard to tell from SuperSkoda site how it looks in real life

 

BTW, is it legal to remove those reflectors from the rear?

I will do. The superskoda pictures wasn't the best but I wanted to get rid of the reflector. They're reflectors on the rear lamps plus if they can't see a big white estate car parked up then they shouldn't be driving lol

[BATVANVRS]

So today me & a friend went about fitting the Rieger rear diffuser  & it was quite a simple job  no jack needed, I did re-watch the Hollowman YouTube video just to refresh my brain "on how to fit/install it" the Rieger diffuser completely changes the look of the vRS & 100% agree with @Jaco2k that you do really need to see it in the flesh  as pictures can't really show how much better it actually looks.

 

Note: There are 2 holes that you have to drill either side of the diffuser in-order to keep the diffuser up properly (1 hole either end/side) we used speed fasteners (u clips) to secure above the hole & insert the black round clip(s) you get in the bag & then use the screw.

 

Here's a few pictures I quickly snapped but will post up a few more tomorrow or Sunday, once I've washed the vehicle but definitely a big thanks to everyone who's shared their experiences with me on this thread very much appreciated.

I always buy my plates for my cars from Alan on eBay (NENNP) also known as (Plate Services GB) 100% perfect service from him

Ebay item No: 222228521021

 

The size is 11 x 8 as it is a standard British size plate used on trailers & Land Rovers (so you shouldn't really get any unwanted bother from the sweeney)  be careful if you purchase a 12 x 6 (USA import size) or a 13 x 7 (Jap import size) as you are not fitting it to those mentioned vehicles & could possibly get you in unwanted bother, but it's down to the good cop bad cop routine if that is unfortunate to happen.

 

The 12 x 6 will fit better thou, where as the 11 x 8 is just to short to meet up with the rear screw holes (few mil each side short) so I used a clear protection film to cover the screw holes (so they won't get rusty) & then used 2 x 5cm double sided tape either side of the screw holes to stick the plate on, which looks a lot neater & cleaner compared to the screw holes.

@BATVANVRS - looks great, mate. I agree that the gloss version looks epic on the blue cars.

 

I was under mine yesterday fitting some mudflaps after a recent trip to the Cotswolds where it looked like the sills had been involved in some hefty AWD-trials course after 2 days in country lanes. The matte black held up well though; I'll get some pics of the matte version sorted once I've finally taken the remaining sticker smudge off the back.

 

 

[VRS230]

@BATVANVRS Have you got some pics from underneath regarding these clips?

 

I'm dropping mine into the garage to do and any guidance I can give them will be appreciated

@VRS230 I will quickly take a few pictures now for you  you will need a couple of this speed fasteners (picture below the gold clip) 1 either side of the end of the bumper (closest to the rear wheel arches)

Edit:

 

Other than that, it really is simple to fit/job, everything comes in the box, all the screws, black round plugs etc...

 

The instructions are actually very decent, easy to work out & not like Ikea instructions  If you get any probs just post in this thread & I will do my best to help you out

Nice one!

 

So do the above come in the pack then or do I need to buy them beforehand? Or have I read that wrong
