This diffuser is designed for this facelifted bumper in the \u003cstrong\u003eR-Line\u003c\/strong\u003e trim. Before ordering, check the lower section of your rear bumper: the R-Line version features pronounced side cutouts and a deeper central insert than the standard trim. If in doubt, photograph your bumper and compare it with the images. Compatibility should be checked according to your exact version before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003ePP (polypropylene)\u003c\/strong\u003e · Finish: \u003cstrong\u003egloss black\u003c\/strong\u003e · Position: \u003cstrong\u003erear, lower bumper\u003c\/strong\u003e · Compatibility: \u003cstrong\u003ePassat B8 and B8.5 R-Line\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e2020 to 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e models · Package contents: \u003cstrong\u003erear diffuser\u003c\/strong\u003e. The manufacturer does not specify the screws, adhesive, or installation instructions, so we cannot guarantee any installation that is not documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, ensure the bumper is clean, dry, and degreased. Hold the part in place to check its symmetry relative to the exhaust outlets and reflectors, then secure it. Work at room temperature: in cold weather, structural adhesive will never achieve its full strength. Allow it to settle for a few hours before the first high-pressure wash, and avoid directing the spray nozzle directly at the edges of the part. Maintenance is limited to regular washing; a black plastic restorer will revive the gloss after a few seasons. Professional installation is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit a standard Passat bumper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe manufacturer has designed it for the \u003cstrong\u003eR-Line\u003c\/strong\u003e trim.
