Now i've got a bit of spare time, I thought I would put up a quick post showing how my ghetto rear diffuser was made.
In brief, first we made all the necessary mounting brackets for the mock-up diffuser, then lowered the fuel tank so the diffuser ran flat from the tank past the rear subframe/lca's, then upwards to the rear bumper. To be able to use a wider diffuser, we custom made a rear silencer so it sat higher and further across than the stock item, and added a slightly different tail pipe just to be different.
Then it was time to fit the diffuser, and add the fins and side pieces one by one until all was done. The rear arch areas and the gaps between the diffuser and bumper were also box'd off to stop any unwanted air from getting behind the rear bumper
A quick coat of matt black paint and hey presto, a Ghetto rear diffuser!!!
Big thanks to Richy at Performance Autoworks who did all the hard work and created a cracking bit of Aero....top man
