Hi guys, anyone removed the metal trim in the rear diffuser recently, got a carbon replacement to fit and trying to figure how it comes off with causing any damage? Cheers
Doesn't the Streamline carbon unit slip over the original? And I'm pretty sure the OEM trim is actually plastic...
No def replaces it Ben, aye it's like plastic chrome but has some sort of metal clips on the rear by the looks of it.
Will do mate, not fitting it just yet as having a Scorpion decal sorted for, bit like the akrapovic trim on the new 275 Well that's the idea
See hear Dinn http://streamlinecarbon.com/v2/products-page/megane-3-rs-250/megane-rs-250-exhaust-trim/ I have the mirrors and B pillars fitted too. Not cheap stuff but nicely made
I know. I have just thought you had sorted that in a meantime. I have seen offer. They have plenty of things for Megane RS mk3.
Its easy, Just lever it off with a screwdriver, No need to remove anything. Took me 2 mins tops to change mine out for the black trim i have now
Hi did u manage to get it off without removing diffuser ? If so how ? I saw other posts about using screwdriver but couldn't manage it without fear of damage. Cheers
Hello mate, the surround has four tabs, two top, two bottom, they fit into slots in a metal frame, you can't damage the frame and the tabs on the surround are pretty substantial. I just concentrated on the top right tab as I could see it (from the inside side of the surround) and prised at it lifting it up so it came out of the slot then the rest of the surround kind of wiggled free. Don't be afraid to put quite a bit of pressure on mate, it's all pretty substantial
Just a quick one before I do try....are the clips between the surround (which I'm trying to remove) and the black plastic splitter or between the surround and the metal frame / heat shield. ? Also any clue as to what the cilia look like ? Sorry fur all the questions mate. Cheers.
I've been trying this but can't seem to get it off, I've tried getting under the car and getting it off from behind. I can see the clips but no matter how much I bend them it still won't come loose!
I've resorted to taping if off and trying it. https://i.imgur.com/PgXEf3U.jpg I'll put an update photo once I'm done.
