Just removed and I've noticed that 2 of my rear diffuser blades have lost some screws, 6 screws per blade/fin, 4 blades/fins total, can someone tell me where I can buy them?
Tried EuroSpares and their diagrams show the diffuser but no part code for the screws!!.
They are black, 14mm flanged crosshead (screw with washer attached), 16mm in length.
Cheers

I'm also interested in aftermarket fins made of a different material to the oem material. Ideally something a bit more hard wearing that withstands contact with the road surface with splintering etc! Some sparks would be an added bonus!

How are your diffuser fins hitting the road?

Pretty common on lowered cars - ie cars running scud ride height but with stock spring rates - they ground out at the front edge of the fins.

Wow, always assumed the damage was caused by carelessly backing up to a kerb.

I have scud springs and it's very slightly lower than scud ride height, it's ok normally but on odd occasions I touch down!

Would love some titanium fins!
