It had cracked underneath near the exhaust, i was jacking up the rear and forgot to put something under the wheels to stop them rolling oops.

 

But its ok, I got to work and made a few changes.

Covered more of the lower of the fender with perspex and brought the diffuser in deeper.

 

Might make a difference... might not..... the high pressure air should escape easier out the rear than before. These aftermarket bumpers kinda act like parachutes but a few changes and all is transformed :)

Always thought that about my wings west, I'm gonna diffuse but now sure how yet, you did a good job there bud. I would have put some big washers on the nuts though ;)

They were too expenisve, halfords wanted £5 for 4 ggrrrrrrrr

home made jobby.

Good work buddy, was thinking of starting on the front and working my way back when i had the chance. I didn't think of perspex before i was thinking sheet ally! Sounds like a good alternative that would work just as well!

I would go with ally if you can afford it, anyone know the prices of ally?, the perspex cracks really easily but it has strength in surface area and one of the best advantages is its transparent so you can slap it under the car and see exactly where to drill for mounting positions and where to cut, then evantually spray it black. I could remove it and use it as a template for ally or CF

Ally isnt expensive ..if you know where to look .....found a shed load wrapped round a 30inch pipe in a dissused factory about a month ago ....its only .75mm thick so may not be structualy sound but could double it up or fold it and then use it i supose ....only cost me 5 quid in petrol there and back and i have about 6 m2 of the stuff :)
