View Full Version : Black rear diffuser that isn't CF or breaks the bank.

I've searched and searched and have come up empty. Short of wrapping or painting the unexciting stock rear diffuser, is there a replacement option that isn't expensive carbon fiber?
I'd be happy with plain black with some character to it.

In the same boat. Ended up dipping the diffuser black gloss. Doesn't look phenomenal but it only cost me $20 in plasti dip for it

those over aggressive rear diffusers look like they belong more on a WRX or EVO than on a nice classy S4. to each his own I guess.

Thanks! I never came across that one. I wonder if there is a US distributor.

Just got this response from the manufacturer:
"We don't currently have a US distributor, but do ship directly to US customers.
I'm afraid that our diffuser will only fit the pre-facelift B8 (2008-2012) models, and we haven't developed a similar diffuser for the B8.5 yet, but you can 'vote' for such a part via our website here."

Ahhh sorry about that saw the post on my phone and didn’t check if you were pre or post facelift.

Pricey, but looks nice. https://bk-motorsport.com/tuning/audi/audi-s4/audi-s4-b8-fl/s4-b8-fl-rear-diffuser-2-cuttings/
I wonder if it comes unpainted or what. Not much info on the product page.

Oh, I didn't realize that.
Caractere's website is pretty useless.

Any more ideas? How does stock look wrapped?

The same as a painted black stock would look...
Friend did it looked fine. He now runs ecs diffuser which looks 100x better tho. On black cars the ecs diffuser doesnt stand out as much, I doubt any other cars notice mine

Plasti dipped black then glossifier on top. If the glossifier didn't spray inconsistently out of the aerosol can it would have looked better https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180120/75867fcebd1864e78794cd18e287f365.jpg

I wish Deval made this for B8.5, and could accommodate 102mm tips!

Rameez Waliyani on FB can hook you up with a sweet deal on ECS CF, made it worth buying for me.

I've emailed Carbon Imports requesting one (the black spoiler I run).. maybe if more people message them they will supply it.
They have one for the S5 which means it should be available in my eyes

No, you're understanding me correctly. And I think you're right. Upon closer examination, the B8.5 version does look to be the same/similar. The photos I looked at made it look closer to the ECS (more aggressive fins).
Now, where can I get one for a better price? :)
