Rear SVR diffuser/valance install on R?

Rear SVR diffuser/valance install on R?
Question:
is it possible to install SVR lower diffuser part (instead of whole diffuser) on the R ?
I want to replace/swap just this lower part:

I assume YES if only the p/n of the upper part of SVR diffuser is the same as upper part of R diffuser - can anybody check this?
Thank you

Here is one of the FB posts I remembered seeing...Guy actually updated the exhaust of a V6 and added SVR Diffuser.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/7929...86051758085115
And here is another...I am thinking it may work,k and thinking I may have found a new project

Going to have to give this some serious thought! No guarantee, but looks possible?

I have not been able to verify yet if the valence pice is needed. It appears it may be based on different parts numbers? I will still be able to provide you with lots of help and documentation (best I can) until I get to doing mine. I have listed part numbers below, and why I think a valence 'MAY" be needed? Perhaps Guardian can confirm when he gets his part, before ordering the second piece (or not).
So when I compare F-Type R and F-Type SVR Rear Bumper parts per the images below...the two different ones are the valance and lower panel (Under Cover as they call it). I am also going to reach out to the FB guys to see if they can answer.
I will also see what Shop Manual I can acquire from my prior Auto Business and will post more here as I get it...
So the parts...I put images with color-coding...Hope this makes sense.

OK...Great! Now the pressure is on Actually still researching part numbers etc., and have not ordered anything yet (Just put the car back together after Sprint Booster install, Transmission Fluid Change, and Differential Fluid Change)...Need to keep my ratio up, of 2 mods to 1 drive...Haha

I’ve seen this done on an R for sale on eBay in Illinois. I thought it was an aftermarket valence and upon further examination, it was those plastic fin pieces you can get on eBay. Honestly looked fine until you examine the pictures better. one fin was crooked and it looked difficult to line up flush with the edge of the valence. Wish I kept the pictures. Feel free to give it a shot?! They are priced pretty cheap.
any link? I think the hard part is matching the curvature to the mounting surface.

So retail ~ $1965 with shipping and painting. And likely around ~ $1200 based on available discounted pricing. Waiting to hear back from a guy on FB to see if 1 or both parts are needed...Then I may order. I have only spent ~ $16,000 on upgrades and maintenance so far this year, so why not

Well...If you just need the Under Cover Panel...The list is ~ $795 (can get it for under $600 ish). If the Valence is also required, it adds ~$720 List (available for less than $550). I would estimate the painting to match to be around ~$350.

I’m ok with this pricing considering genuine parts, near perfect fitment, and requires no modification. I’m not ok spending over $1000 plus for a carbon fiber rear valence that would fit terrible and/or crack over time and require another $1000 in bodywork just to make it look good. I had a Vorsteiner valence on the C63 and it fit terrible and cracked. Never again!

Agree. That Vorsteiner (and many other aftermarkets) stuff is crap! And way overpriced. Dealt with the same issue on my 997 TT and Boxster S... And just like the Project 7 Grille and Sport Rear Wing on the F-Type, it all fits perfectly, and the Auto Body shops have no issues painting them to perfection!
