Should i, which one, or both?
Thinking of going for a front splitter & rear defuser, but just can't push myself to order them

Why don't you want to? I'll be doing the m sport conversion soon and I plan on getting both. Maybe even carbon fiber diffuser and front lip! Go for it, it'll look great!!

I think my worry is getting the best aftermarket quality splitter, from what I've seen the rear defuser is easy fit (remove clips, pull of trim, refit new defuser & refit clips) as for the splitter i think you have to make more holes & hope its a good fit & not look shit with gaps.

If only getting one, I would opt for the rear diffuser. The standard diffuser on the M sport is too plain IMO and the M Performance diffuser makes the rear more aggressive and nicer looking over all. The M Sport front bumper looks good enough on its own to carry the front of the car. I am going to do both, but I am having second thoughts on the front splitter even though I already purchased it.

Thanks for the info but i have lost confidence in pattern parts, took me a while to put the original part back as the middle refused to clip back in

The end tabs could not be pushed in, looks like it was a tad short. It was a cold day so trying to get it to flex was a pain, gave up at the end, id love for some one to do a video fitting an aftermarket diffuser & Splitter.
