Vorsteiner Diffuser Help !!!

Hi guys I have a Vorsteiner Diffuser that I am installing and I have turner exhaust, tips are slightly touching the difuser, If I pull out the tips about 1/2 inch it'll be fine, but it might look weird, anyone else ran into that problem ? Thanks !

I've got both and while the tips are close, they're not touching. Looks fine to me.

Are you on stock springs?
I agree. pretty low. But that diffuser is money. definitely transforms the car.

Again, that was a shot of the car coming down a sloped drive. I'm considering a drop on KWs and if I came straight down the drive, this is the clearance. At an angle, it's much less severe.

Here's a shot of the car on the level.

Definitely one of the nicer diffusers out there for the M6

If you plan on lowering the car and installing this diffuser, clearance is not an issue if you cut/angle the car on the driveway. Locals know first-hand how steep ours is.

So were you able to fit the exhaust with the diffuser?

That's what I thought ( Ie - transforms) before I picked up my F12 last week (was all set to a full V kit). I was hoping for it to look like it does on my SL63... but on the F12... I'm not in love.

To each their own. But definitely looks better than stock diffuser.

TBH, the stock diffuser is a joke...I don't understand why they put that crappy plastic over there

Yep - I think they could have done a bit more with the stock D but I think it looks better than bolt on carbon fiber on some colors... white being one of those in particular where I like the clean/cleaner rear bumper line.

So my installer had to pull out the tips about half an inch in order for them not to touch the diffuser, however, it was tough to get in and get out of driveways out with the front lip it's X2 as hard now with the rear LOL
