Well, after the shunt I had to repair the diffuser. As it is aftermarket obviously I won't be getting a new aftermarket one bust instead another standard M3 one, but, the bodyshop haved said that if I were to repair the diffuser they will spray it with the bumper :D .

So, I have managed to repair it and do a quick job of filiing and a bodge spray job. This is mainly for the meet next week but the weekend prior to the car going in I will be removing the diffuser again and do a better job of filling ready for the proper paintjob.

It has gone from this:

Also, part of the bumper snapped where the diffuser mounts so had to bond that:

Now looking a little healthier:

Also, my rear tyres are now only good for the track so managed to grab a set of OEM continentals with rims in excellent condition so once again I have some decent rear boots :p .

Thanks for the kind words guys. Trust me, it is a bit of a bodge as I only had a few hours on saturday to fix it before sundays meet (the rest of the bumper still looks suitably shagged :p ) and doesn't look anywhere near as good in the flesh as the paint is very flat, patchy and slightly different shade in places but I will be making it perfect and getting rid of all the little marks prior to the bodyshop laying down the paint.
