I don't have a diffuser but I believe the mtech is the msport bumper. There really is no aero bumper. The only OEM bumpers are the IS one or the msport one or the non-msport one (with no diffuser). You can google those.

Best way for us to judge is to take a picture but it sounds like you may just have the msport one since you're having a hard time taking it off...

Incorrect info.
Pre-lci e92s had the aero kit.

OP, if you have the aero bumper - the insert is removable.
Not 100% sure on the procedure but they're separate pieces.

Just to clear clear things out. Aero kit are for front bumpers preLCI. Diffusers are for rear bumpers. Looks to me that you are talking about the rear ones since you use the word "diffusers". Can you clarify this?

That's true, but isn't the stock front sport bumper an Mtech bumper? If it is, then the equation is right.

Aero bumper = Aero lip + Mtech bumper or stock sport bumper.

Aren't stock pre-lci sport bumper, Mtech pre-lci bumper and Msport pre-lci bumper all the same?
