Great vid as usual Mat😎 I'm a bit late to the party 😮 Ordered the diffuser along with the side splats. The floating bar you left out is supposed to go under the bumper and the four screws you fitted under the fins are to be threaded through it and bolted up, however there are two metal brackets that hold the bumper so there is not enough clearance to slide it in. The side splats I bought are missing some hardware, I was only sent 4 screws and no self tappers. The fitting instructions from Maxton are virtually non existent, the solution Maxton give you is to come to them and get it fitted at an extra cost🤦
