Do we all have this issue?
 

This is my second front bumper AND black plastic diffuser. The original bumper had the same issue...the passenger side has this gap in it that no matter what I do will not sit flush. Anyone else experience this or have a fix?

I have a similar problem, I thought it was because my bumper seems to have been through hell and back.

Yep. On the passenger side of the car, I have a little gap too. I think it happens and I wouldn't really worry about it. I considered maybe an epoxy to hold it in place, but its not really noticeable unless you're looking for it.

do i see a ducati back there!? hmmm... but i have seen a couple with the same problem, and i have also seen a couple that do not have it. i wouldnt really know how to fix it though

The problem is the tabs on the bumper that the diffuser bolts to is bent down. Causing the gap. The tab is part of the bumper, so it is plastic. The fix would be taking a heat gun and heating up the tab, and push it back up. Then leave it cool in the new position. ;)

I'm getting ready to replace my 2nd diffuser. I've chewed 2 of them up so far. And I have broken one of the tabs on the bumper. :shakes head:

Fill the gap with some black silicone caulk.

I don't have any gaps with mine.

yet another homedepot mod. :tup:

can you guys use mounting tape to hold it together (VHB)?

Not really. :( Nothing there to stick it to.

oh... in that case, caulk sounds :tup:

Yes, I got the same issue.

What is your year model? I do not have this problem.

i wonder how it would look if we just take the whole plastic diffuser.. cause im having the same issue

I didn't have the problem either until I hit a curb. :icon14:

sorry to thread jack but is that an aprilla in the background?

Looks like a Ducati Monster.

Yep.

If you take off the plastic diffuser, the front bumper bends down as if it were warm butter. It no longer would have any support. Its not super stiff plastic like the rest of the bumper.

Yep, Monster 1100 Evo (2012)

yummy

I almost went with another Duc but got a Triumph Speed Triple instead. The weight difference is noticeable between the two but so is the power.

I tried gluing the diffuser to the bumper but it only lasted for a couple days.. :/ thinking about getting a brand new bumper and diffuser cuz this gap pisses me off..

im looking for front diffuser
 

is anyone selling theirs?

i bought a front nismo bumper for my 40th anniversary and it didn't came with front diffuser where it goes under the lip attaches. if anyone is selling please contact me at 864-497-9795 thank you

I have one, but shipping is stupid $$$

Sorry for necro, but no point in making a new thread on a subforum that moves this slow:

I didn't even hit anything, and just noticed that mine has this problem! I know I checked it a mere ~3k miles ago and it was fine!

What the crap? Did anyone get a lasting solution, preferably figuring out how to correctly snap everything back in?
