2016 Panamera rear diffuser removal?
I would like to replace the original rear diffuser on my 2016 Panamera GTS but I can not tell how difficult it is to remove. Does anyone have any experience replacing the rear diffuser or know where to get an assembly drawing that might help?

Hey there-
The diffuser its not all that difficult to remove. There are 5 or so torx screws that hold it into the bumper at the bottom. Additionally the unit snaps into the bumper and has these pieces around the entire perimeter. I found using a flat head screw driver from the back helped with some, and at some point you may have to just pull hard to get the last few out. All in all, it took about 2 hours as I didn't want to break anything and I was still investigating how it comes apart.

thanks for the comment
Thanks for the comment! I have been searching all over for any information on how to remove the OEM piece and can not find anything. Do you recall if the reflectors come off with the original piece?
What after market Diffuser did you go with and are your happy with it?

I had looked at various options out there and didn't see one that I liked/was comfortable with.
Which version are you considering for yours?
