Looking great Keith...but then i am a bit biased 
How hard was it to seperate the diffuser from the bumper? I have an M sport model and fancied the black rear diffuser.

That looks awesome, I really like the carbon diffuser look.
Big Scot,
I believe that you need to take the bumper off to replace the diffuser, the diffuser is fixed on with screws that you cannot get to otherwise.

No, you are not required to take the bumper off in order to fit the diffuser,
Undo the bolts underneath and pull it off carefully, it might takes you 30mins for the first time but thats really easy.

There are 2 bolts on each side under the diffuser, simply undo them and you can pull the diffuser out carefully, (there are 3 clips in the middle)
You take off the diffuser just like you slide out the cover when you changing the battery on your mobile phone.

Excellent....guess thats another present i'm asking santa for lol.
Grab yourself a used one from ebay or scrap yield, sand it down, get a can of matte black spray from halfords, then you are done.
Cheap and easy mod
