Rear Diffuser on Aero Bumper

Has anyone seen a rear diffuser mounted with the MINI aero bumper.
"S" or non "S" doesn't matter.. Any pics.. Not looking for something mounted under it but rather cut into it..

There was one one working on installing an r56 diffuser on an r53 body. The pain is that there was a lot of adaptation to make that work

ive seen em, but its a LOT of work. you have to have a straight back exhaust. to do that, you have to cut out the battery box, and hence, re-locate your battery. then of course, cut into your body kit, ect ect.

Since I have a just-a cooper I can just take off the spare tire and put it in the boot, or garage. I already carry a flat tire compressor kit as it is.. The straight exhaust would be easy at that point.. Just would like to see how much of the 2 big openings/indentions/book shelves they are cutting out and or leaving in place and what it looks like if leaving some of them intact...
This would be a DIY home project and not doing the full underbody thing.. Will be time for a change and I like the look of SOME of the diffusers...
