At first I put it down to maybe my bumper was mis-shapen, but seeing that makes me thinks HT's original is out.
Diffuser fitted the other way so centre lines up:
Notice the bulge conveniently pinpointed by the TOW sticker
This will pull up when I add a small nut and bolt just to the right of the fin, but having purchased their v limited splitter and being very happy with it expected something better than this for the money.

It all lines up apart from that corner and no matter what you do you there is always a gap, I wasn't happy with how it looked so i masked up both sides of the diffuser and sealed all the edges and filled any gaps with black Sikaflex.
Now you can't tell and it looks all flush against the bumper

Sorry but I have to agree with the above, it looks on the pi$$ fitted to far forward in the middle and down on the right you can see more of the diffuser's underneath if that makes sense.
Fitted one to my old mk1 type 25 and the fit was spot on.
Can you pop a few more pics up

I will put more pics on to show it is on properly !
I spent enough time on it getting it right and level due to the incorrect angle of the corner moulding

It definately is a poor fit with the wrong angle for the r/h side but with perseverance and some engineering I have got it fitted level and even on both sides, it's the angle of how the picture was taken that makes it look out. If I get chance I'll take a better pic tomorrow

No mate, ref your outline I wouldn't want it to sit that high up anyway, the add pic is showing it situated the same as mine. I had to rework it but I'm happy with the finished look !
