Hi guys,
I have DRANGED's new ACS style rear diffuser for M-tech (quad set-up). How do I install it? I searched the forum to no avail. I was told that I had to remove the old one (no problem there) and glue and screw on the new one. Anyone have a DIY or pics of this?
Thanks!

Here it goes. Like I said I wish I would have taken pics of the process. I will post pics once the rear end conversion is complete.
Step 1: Remove bumber
Step 2: Remove M-tech Diffuser
Step 3: Drink beer and swear about how the add-on doesn't have the same mounting points. (optional)
Step 4: Use Dremel to fit new one on - takes a while
Step 5: Drill holes in tangs on lower portion to match mounts in bumper (This is the only point that this screws in)
Step 6: Drill holes in bottom of diffuser to line-up with plastic push pins during bumper installation
Step 7: Clean each side and glue diffuser on (I used Beta link that I got from the BMW dealer - messy but strong)
Step 8: Get plowed drinking Mojito's while it dries overnight (optional)
Step 9: Screw in the 2 screws
Step 10: Install bumper (with hangover)
Stpe 11: Drink beer and swear about not having it installed at a body shop (optional)
Oh well, the more I do myself with this car the more I learn about my car - sigh....

Sounds like me when I installed my Hamman front splitter.
Now let's see some pics of this diffuser
