About part number 7499536

A rear bumper diffuser is an exterior trim panel fitted to the lower section of the rear bumper. It forms part of the vehicle bodywork, sitting at the back of the car below the main bumper cover to manage airflow beneath the vehicle and complete the rear styling. When it is correctly fitted and undamaged, the rear end of the vehicle looks complete, with all lower trim panels sitting flush and secure.

To check if this part is correct for your vehicle, you must match the part number directly. The manufacturer part number for this item is 7499536. On a plastic bodywork component like a diffuser, this number is usually stamped or moulded into the inner face or the back of the plastic moulding, which you can see once the original piece is removed. Matching this exact number is the only way to confirm correct fitment.

When replacing a rear diffuser, you often need replacement plastic trim clips, screws, or mounting rivets, as original fixings can break or stretch during removal. These parts are usually replaced because of reversing impact damage, scuffs from high kerbs, cracked mounting tabs, or to restore the original appearance of the rear trim.

  • Part type: Moulding Strips.
  • Position on the vehicle: Rear.

About this kind of part: bumper trims and diffusers

A bumper trim is one of the separate strips and panels that clip or screw onto a bumper cover rather than forming part of it: a lower blade, a diffuser insert at the rear, a corner section, a splitter under the front edge, or the finisher around a fog lamp. They are usually gloss black, textured black or a bright finish, and they carry most of the model's styling, so they change between trim levels and across a facelift while the bumper cover underneath them stays the same part.

Why people replace one

  • The trim has grounded on a kerb, a ramp or a speed hump, which is what happens to anything mounted below the bumper line.
  • A clip has snapped and the trim now stands away from the bumper at one end.
  • The gloss black finish has gone grey and dull, or the bright finish has lifted, and it cannot be brought back.
  • Stone chipping along the leading edge has broken through the finish.
  • The bumper cover has been replaced and the original trim was broken getting it off.

Fitting it

  • Most clip to the bumper cover from the front and are then secured by screws or plastic nuts reached from behind or underneath.
  • The clips are usually separate parts and are worth replacing rather than reusing, because they stretch once they have been off.
  • Work along the trim from one end rather than pulling in the middle, which is where a cold strip cracks.
  • Where the trim surrounds a fog lamp or a sensor, check the aperture lines up before everything is tightened.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number on the back. These parts carry the styling, so a trim from a different version of the same model will often clip on and still look wrong.
  • Check whether yours has openings for parking sensors. A trim with no openings cannot be used on a car that has them.
  • Compare the finish as well as the shape. The same trim is made in gloss black, in textured black and in a bright finish, and each is a separate number.
  • Count the clip positions and the screw points, and compare their spacing with the part you are taking off.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded into the back face, usually towards one end.
B Sensor openings — Openings for parking sensors, where the trim sits across a sensor line. Their presence or absence decides whether it fits your car.
C Clips and screw points — The clip seats and threaded points along the back. Count them and look for any that are broken out.
D Lower edge — The bottom face, which grounds on kerbs and ramps. Look along it rather than at it, because this is what a straight-on photograph flatters most.
E Finish — Gloss black, textured black or a bright finish. The finish is part of what you are matching, not a detail.
F End profile — The shape where the trim meets the bumper and the arch. This is what tells one side from the other and a facelift from the version before it.

This section describes bumper trims and diffusers parts in general. The numbers and the photographs above are this part.
