650S rear diffuser - easy to remove?

[m33ufo]

First of all, picked up the 650S this morning and damn, what a car. I'm beyond happy!

Been for a drive and gave it a quick wash as it started to get dark. I noticed that one side of the rear diffuser doesn't seem to be seated fully or properly. Are they easy to remove - is there a how to guide that anyone is aware of?

It's the sort of thing I'm happiest doing myself as long as it's not too awkward.

Thanks.

Very simple, there are only about 6 bolts keeping it on. Not sure why it wouldn't be sitting correct though as you can only screw it on in the right position.

What with the front splitter damage and now this who on earth had this car before and why hasn't the dealer you bought it from prepped it before sale ?

Shouldn't have these issues on a £180k car - Did you steal it on price ?

[m33ufo]

Might not be the diffuser..possibly the metal "clip" is out of alignment? Here's a comparison left and right (left looks obviously wrong!).





I'll take it off tomorrow and see what's going on. I actually quite enjoy having a fiddle!

If not obvious I'll take it back to the dealer.

Cheers.

Yeah nothing to worry about and easily fixed. Technician has probably rushed putting it back on after the service

Stunned by how good this car is. If I could afford the depreciation and maintenance I'd use it everyday - that would mean around 25K miles a year so not a brilliant idea

I'll savour it on weekends.

Fantastic photos of your car and congratulations for getting this wonderful machine. Had mine for almost a year and loving it.

[m33ufo]

Thank you. I love it!

Best supercar convertible out there for the money IMHO and it seems I'm no longer a lone voice with all the new purchasers joining the party.
With all the F1 technology, active aero, hydraulic suspension and carbon tub they are massively under valued at the moment. The great thing is you are not currently paying a premium for the badge.

Will be interesting to see how Ferrari react to the competition in the next 10 years. they are going to have to up their game and can no longer be complacent. Should make interesting times and some cracking cars hopefully

Just for info, mine's a coupe

Don't think I could cope with more speed - black is quick enough

It's re-ignited my enthusiasm for cars. Shame there's so much salt everywhere!

Spider 650S's were generally a little beyond what I was comfortable paying - hence originally I was looking at 12C Spider models. This was a good midground.

Picked up , driven then washed ?

Surely it should read , picked up , driven then driven some more ?


Looks superb , I've got a serious issue with these cars which will only be resolved when I buy one I think.

I can't see a downside - crazy, brutal and gorgeous. Love it.
