ST 300 2019 rear diffuser removal how to

[Tinbum51]

Hi guys I know there’s probably a thread for this that I can’t find....

Have a Maxton diffuser to fit understand removing the stock diffuser is supposed to be possible without removing the bumper.

Underneath it there are 2 hex screws either end of the diffuser I’ve found and removed.

Looking inside of the diffuser there a loads of clips holding it on.

How do I get these unclipped do
I need a special tool.
Any advice, video or thread link appreciated as didn’t want to take it to a garage really.

TIA

Have a look at this bumper removal thread:

Cupra 280 (2014) rear bumper removal

Guide now located in the new resources section of the site https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/resources/cupra-leon-280-2014-rear-bumper-removal.37/

The first post describes bumper removal. A second post halfway down the page is a link to a post for aftermarket diffuser replacement which may help.

Cheers for that but I believe the ST 2019 has a different fit, meaning you shouldn’t need to remove the whole bumper ?

You can give it a crack; however, always far easier to remove the bumper cover in my experience. The methodology is the same regardless of model year - ST 2019 is the same for all FL models. This is the extract from the workshop manual below:
