I've also been playing around with ideas for the diffuser. I've never liked it as it seems a little fussy, so I'm making more of a feature of it.

Same shape, except they're matt black and plastic. It's a nice contrast between the paintwork and bringing out the exhaust area. Makes it look purposeful too, so I'm going down the same route.
I've photoshopped it up roughly, but I've done the following:
- Fins sprayed matt black
- Exhaust surround matt blakc
- Exhaust tips satin black
- Bypass pipes (and exhaust backing plate) black, to hide them
- Honeycomb grill behind the fins
Here's the difference:
Makes it look a lot newer in my opinion, and very easy to do. Will get round to doing it when the weather's good
