Just great
Naaah, there are holes on the bottom of my bumper for the diffuser already.
I *think* you just put the bolt through the holes and the clips are like a spring-clip, they simply keep the bolts from backing out. Maybe

I just installed the diffuser today.. The holes for the metal tabs were way too small and it was a pain to fit. Anyway, I hate the whole wingnut setup. I'm going to get some nice stainless bolts and nylon locknuts tomorrow. The bolts VW supplies are kind of low-grade and I don't really trust them not to back out over time.

The wing bolts do serve a purpose though. Since the rear valence now covers your tow hook, if you ever need to get towed/ use the hook you will need to have the correct tool to remove the new nuts if you don't use the wing nuts.

Default Lower diffuser

A lot of these pictures have the Votex rear bumper, but are missing the lower diffuser. Here is a link to a place that sells it online with photo:

Discount Volkswagen Parts
